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.
