The frequency range of 2 meters is low enough that it doesn't make a lot of difference. I have a 5-element Hustler-brand yagi with vertical elements and a 13-element homebrew yagi for moonbounce, etc, and never found a need to worry about vertical or horizontal elements. (I have been licensed for 40 years . . . )

I live in Wales and my nearest repeater is 15 miles away over a mountain and I can't access it with the beam horizontal using 2.5 watts.

It's a 3 element yagi. and 2.5 watts is the max from my Yaesu FT 290R. Would it be worthwhile lowering the mast and changing to vertical?
