What is the low angle radiation pattern of an ideal half-wavelength dipole HF antenna in free space installed parallel to the Earth?
It is a figure-eight, perpendicular to the antenna
A horizontal dipole radiates maximally broadside (perpendicular to the wire) and has nulls off the ends. The pattern shape depends on height above ground.
