Transmitting in horizontal and vertical planes together was introduced in the above clip from Post 5 of this thread (as a thread drift).
Prior to that it was addressing linear radiators, including my Post 7, and a bit about antenna mis-matching — which was introduced earlier by others.
We were NOT talking about increasing the antenna gain.
That concept was part of the original post, “How much more efficient will something like a dipole be beyond the simple wire antenna at these micro power rates?”
