G9B09
Which of the following is an advantage of using a horizontally polarized as compared to a vertically polarized HF antenna?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. Lower ground losses
A horizontally polarized antenna does not depend on the ground for a return path the way a vertical does. That gives it lower ground losses.
Tip: Horizontal antennas avoid ground losses.
