[MLB-WIRELESS] Orientation of antennas

[Jason Hecker]

Ohhhhh.

Well, there are helicals you point upright, much like the little stub 
antenna in a mobile phone (this is known as a normal mode helical and is 
omni). My helical design isn't like this, it's in the endfire (directional) 
mode. So, yes point them at each other rather than up, unless you want to 
do satellite comms.

Good luck! What's the zone in between the two like? No trees or other 
obstacles in the way.

Cheers,
jASON
