Billy, the "it ain't polarized after it's reflected" is another "old hams tale." The literature does not support that fable, nor does practical experience. You will find many signals that are too weak to work on a beam that are quite workable on a decent vertical. If you encounter fading changing the antenna polarization will quite often make a workable signal out of one below the noise level. So don't argue with the old man. Try it and be convinced. 73 Pete AC5E |
