[Antennas] Half-Square Question

[Ron Evans]

At the risk of exposing my considerable ignorance yet again, can someone 
clear up for me a question about the half-square antenna.  Does the 
center conductor of the coax attach to one of the vertical 1/4 
wavelength portions or to the 1/2 wavelength flat top portion?  Why? 
And will maximum radiation be broadside to the flat top or parallel to it?

I've seen it both ways on the Internet.  Some sites say the favored 
direction is broadside to the flat top, and others indicate that the 
favored direction is "along" the flat top.  Perhaps the antenna will 
work either way?  And changing the point at which the center conductor 
attaches changes the favored direction?

Help!

Thanks in advance for educating me "kindly."

72/73,
