However I took it up hilltop and performed terribly in a v form.
Never tested horizontal vertical as I moved on but was told few years ago as a inverted V firm would likely shoot my signal too high over too of those more local medium distance contacts I could hear.
So give a wire dislike a try vertical or sloped horizontal even.

V was great from low ground tho on my h.t
that is interesting and worth experimenting with

i will soon have the T2lt i ordered hopeful by end of this week

i now have a pl-259 - jack converter and a swr meter ans fly-lead for testing with
