I also used to use a horizontal long wire but, asI did a lot of my listening in my bedroom, the only way to get a vertical drop would have been by mountaineering up to the chimney to attach a guy rope - no thanks!
Mike raises an interesting point but wouldn't it be a case of the signal picked up by each zig cancelling out the signal in the accompanying zaq?
Going back to my situation, what would be the effect of dangling a vertical drop from the end of the horizontal about a foot out, say, from the wall before the wire passed through the window frame? The bottom end would need to be tied down to prevent it waving about, I imagine, as it would have been if the connection to the receiver was at the bottom in a conventional set-up.
