ON4UN's book has lots of info on high angle signals arriving at SR and SS.
John's motto - you can never have too many receiving antennas for the
different conditions.

When designing a low band antenna for my Guam QTH, I purposely went
through great trouble to make a true TEE vertical to avoid having an
inverted L on 160. I figured that being limited to 55ft of vertical
height, the rest of the L would present a significant higher angle
horizontally
QSOs will be missed.

This I have NEVER seen in SM2 land, the lower angle the
better. Jim SM2EKM
I agree with N2NL's post. As he is, I was located in the Pacific and
everything was pretty much long haul, with the US being closest at 2500 miles.
I went with a Tee-top suspended on a caternary from the top of the 150 ft
tower to my house which was 90 feet higher in elevation than he
I dont understand the sudden urge or desire of some to suppress all
high angle radiation from an inverted L. It is well established that
even a low horizontal
dipole can work amazing amounts of DX on 160 when conditions allow
and
having both possibilities present in the L is a benefit.
