[Antennas] no radial vertical antennas

[Dan Richardson]

Sorry Ron, but but I'm not buying. A vertical dipole is a vertical 
antenna.  The radiation portion is vertical, just as a vertical monopole. 
The point was, and I feel, you missed it I was responding to the 
classification that *all* vertical antennas require a some form of a ground 
system and that statement is not true for *all* vertical polarized antennas.

And please tell me the difference between a vertical antenna and an antenna 
which is vertically oriented. I guess one runs up and down vertically and 
the other runs down and up vertically. <grin>
