Have you surveyed the site for HF RFI? One mountain top property I was
considering had awesome 360d unlimited visibility but had so much power
supply hash, PIM, intermod, etc. from comm installations that any
amateur operation would be near impossible. My spectrum analyzer showed
huge amounts
For 160 DX, a vertically-polarized antenna (fed against a proper ground) is
best.

Careful Mike! Jakarta is close to the equator, and power coupling is
likely to be better from a horizontally polarised antenna, especially in
an E-W direction. Ref The Big Gun's Guide to Low-Band Propagation by

And Bob Brown used a monograph by J.A. Ratcliffe--"The Magneto-Ionic
Theory and its Application to the Ionosphere" which says the same thing.
It has to do with the angle between the E vector and the Earth's
Geomagnetic Field, which is horizontal at the geomagnetic equator. Bob

And remember -- the roof of this building is 110m, so a horizontal
antenna is high enough to have pretty good low angle radiation! See

Large buildings are not towers or poles. Buildings have a significant amount
of large conductive metallic things and noise generating junk inside.

Some years ago, on 80 meters, an LZ station had a horizontal between
two tall buildings and had a very strong signal.

Between buildings is entirely different than on a building roof.
Full context is important. As I said:

Tom is 100% right, one of the best rood top signal on top band is from
9M2AX. Ross tested several antennas and the only one that worked well was
the inverted L. He has a tall fibe
