Antenna transmit pattern

[tubbytwo]

Can someone tell me if my 30 foot east/west antenna has the best transmitting range north/south or as I heard somewhere that it was around 20 degrees off vertical. I know this is the wrong forum for a question like this but with all the traffic here I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks in advance.

Hi Tubby,

From what I know about antennas the best directions should be north / south (broad side) with your type of antenna.
