Huh?

Once a signal leaves, and is reflected it is not longer
vertically or horizontally polarized .... speaking at HF.

Line of sight, may be different ... but what you are saying
makes little or no sense AFTER the wave has been
reflected. Ground wave, OK ... but not after a multi-hop.

If your statement was true ... then why don't the contest
stations use verticals for "rotating signals" ????????

Multiple antennas, at multiple heights allows options as
to arriving/departing wave angles ... that's what matters,
not polarization.

HUH HUH?????

Are you suggesting that they (the electromagnetic waves) are no longer linearly polarized (no longer vertical or horizontal) but now have a circular or elliptical polarization maybe lefthand circular or righthand circular etc? Please discuss this further I am interested in the wave that has no electric field orientation referenced to this planet.
