When a half-wave dipole antenna is installed one-half wavelength above ground, the:
vertical or upward radiation is effectively cancelled
A horizontal dipole at one-half wavelength above ground has a null in its radiation pattern directly upwards (at 90 degrees elevation) due to cancellation from the ground reflection, and its main lobe is at a lower angle.
