[MLB-WIRELESS] Orientation of antennas

[darrend at ndpgroup.com.au]

Tony, Jase's design is a directional helical. ie a circularly polarised
version of a galaxy. If you mount it vertically you'll get a geat signal
from the moon, but thats about it!

What are they feeding you guys up there?

Jase, whats the side lobe performance like? :)

Here is a really, really dumb question.

I've just installed two helical antennas made to Jason Hecker's design.

I've installed them "upright" becuase this is the logical thing to do and
nothing in Jason's instructions says to do any different.

Been looking at a few other sites today, one of them is openly (with full
atribution and gratitiude) a version of Jason's design. The photos of the
completed antenna shows it installed horizontal.

Am I missing something?
