Not in skip mode because of so much polarization skewing due to 
reflections...but in local operations (out to a couple of hundred miles 
ground wave or local ducting), it DOES make a difference...
Want to work the local FM guys on simplex? Horiz won't cut it..
want to work a guy on SSB 200miles away? a vertical won't do it if he is 
on a horiz antenna..
