point skyward / pointing skyward


Explanation:

Antennae "pointing skyward" is a common, often used expression.

Note added at 3 hrs (2009-11-24 10:18:12 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Also "pointing skywards" with an "s" added to "skyward" as can be seen in my example sentence above.

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

And, "in a skyward direction"

Example sentence(s):
  • The antenna 11, as shown, is preferably mounted in the roof of a vehicle with its Z-axis pointing skyward.
  • In my case the resonant frequency was lowered by 600 kHz, so all serious testing was carried out with the antenna pointing skywards.
