Hi Hugh, LFers, Being that it is a capacitive probe, the orientation doesn't matter with such a small "antenna" portion. I think you are correct about it having to "work against" something. That explains why the feedline routing is so important. I have mine mounted as high and in the clear as I could with what was available. The feedline drops straight down and when it reaches the ground I have a coupler which has the shield grounded to an earth rod. When Laurence was in the far east he used the metal window frames of the high-rises he was in as the "ground" for the feedline shield with great success. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz.
