I am looking at a Cushcraft 416TB circular polarized antenna for UHF 
terrestrial SSB/CW use.  If I were to remove the one set of elements, and only 
attach the feedline harness to the one driven element, how bad might it affect 
the pattern of the antenna and the feedpoint impedance?  Anyone been successful 
in converting a circularly polarized antenna into just a horizontal polarized 
one?
