[RFI] Yagis and DFing_Being as we are on the subject

[Dave (NK7Z)]

Hi Mike,

I spotted your below reference...  Why is it that 45 degrees off 
vertical gives the strongest signal for a yagi?

I get the yagi polarization, but why is the RFI signal polarized at 45 
degrees off vertical?  I would expect it to be strongest when the yagi 
is in-plane with the radiating wire(s)...  I'm confused, not a new state 
for me...  :)

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
