Most simple horizontally polarized antennas do not exhibit significant directivity unless they are:
a half wavelength or more above the ground
The ground acts as a reflector. For a horizontal antenna, constructive and destructive interference patterns with its ground reflection become more defined and can create lower takeoff angles when the antenna is at least a half-wavelength above ground.
