Install for either horizontal/directivity pattern ( as picture above )...
or vertical orientation for omnidirectional coverage...
... use a 90* 'elbow' on the mast to rotate 90 degrees
to change orientation for time varying:
1. propagation condx
2. skip distance to the station
3. incoming signal polarity
4. best antenna pattern on the working band
( Folks by two antennas...putting one horizontal, the other vertical...
and switch to the best signal )

Power tested - at resonant frequency -
to 1000 CW watts key down for 30 seconds
and 1400 Watts PEP
...no heat sensed on antenna wire or coax feedpoint when touched by hand after power tesing

NO lossy matching components anyplace in system

POINT YOUR SIGNAL...
DIRECTIVITY up to 14 dB transmit signal increase with 90 degree rotation
( hard to rotate a s-t-r-e-t-c-h wire dipole )

Low SWR across resonant band

Sturdy and well built
