Correct.

The reason for this is you can place a minima at a specific vertical 
angle, presumably that which best covers the Class A distant station, 
without dramatically affecting the horizontal field, and which enhances 
the performance locally.

The opposite should be true, should you place the shortest radiator 
towards the station to be protected: you will have a maximum at a 
departure angle which is above the horizon, and might be great for 
listeners in Europe, but would do nothing for North American listeners.
