I recall reading years ago horz TV may have been picked over vert because
some test showed there to be less multipath and therefore less reflections
and ghosts on the picture.
I have no idea whether that is true. I remember seeing vert TV antennas in
some other countries.

Ted,
I agree that in a single array configuration it does not have the gain
realizable by a directive antenna, no omni-directional antenna will.
But in those cases where a rotatable antenna is not feasible nor permitted
(as on some public structures housing EOCs)
This illustrates the core of
Lots of interesting things.
I completely accept that VHF SSB (which can also mean digital)
communication is really the only practical longer distance VHF mode that
works without infrastructure. But will we have a turn around in the
number of operators who actually use these modes? There is no

Moving on to mode/throughput, let me put on my Incident Commander cap...
As an incident commander, I would rather have a printed/written message than
one
delivered verbally. If I know that you have a digital print system, I would
want that and especially if you tell me its error free.

emergency use
How about the best of both worlds (or at least an approximation thereof).
I would suggest for two meter home station applications that a lindenblad
antenna is a versatile
compromise omni-directional antenna
