We shouldn't assume that just because an antenna is horizontal it 
produces only horizontally-polarized radiation. Take a look at a 
horizontal half-wave dipole with a modelling programme and you'll find 
that the polarization is nearer vertical than horizontal for a 
substantial part of the azimuth.
