... Obtained by NEC simulation for the AX1 installed at 4 feet above
average ground: If you place yourself in front of the antenna and in the
direction of the 13' horizontal counterpoise, the signal received will
only be vertically polarized for all takeoff angles.
But if you test it in a different direction, the polarization becomes
oblique. At 90 degrees from the direction of the counterpoise, the
components of the signal received will be mostly horizontally polarized
for a takeoff angle of 32 degrees or more and at lower angles, the
vertical component is higher.
So depending of the azimuth, the main 'contributor' to the polarization
will be the vertical or the counterpoise ...
