Topband: Modeling verticals (fat, skinny, etc) on EZNEC

Right you are Sinisa.

I think we are having a semantic issue here. I know that you understand what 
I'm saying and I'm saying it just to try to clarify the issue. 

Did Tom, W8JI, mean 100% horizontal polarization followed 90 degrees later by 
pure vertical polarization - what we would have with circular polarization? 

You are referring to an antenna - a dipole - having linear polarization. It 
is tilted 45 degrees from the vertical. A good proof of your assertion is that 
a verically polarized antenna will receive the signal from your tilted dipole. 
And a horizontally polarized antenna will receive the signal from your 
titlted dipole. If your antenna did not radiated both vertically polarized and 
horizontally polarized energy this would not happen. The receive antennas mentioned 
cannot, using only one, distinquish between the combined vertical/horizonal 
polarization of the tilted dipole and true circular polarization.
