Roughly... it seems pretty good in most orientations but face on works best. If you are using it with a diversity receiver it's interesting to see when the patch overrides the other (in my case a Helical) antenna and I find that the patch does about 70% of the work, the helical only really kicks in once I send my P2 into the distance.....
