Not that I know of, but I'll look for it.

So, it was mounted on a hook on the wall behind the TV. I took the antenna off the hook to raise it, and it has only broken up once since. Unfortunately that means it's just laying flat on the top of my speakers, which is an eyesore. But it's good to know that orientation does appear to influence the signal.
