Hi Everyone,
Mike VE9AA here.
Brand spanking new to the list and I am going to fire off a question right
off the bat.

Has anyone tried side by side yagis, each slanted 45degrees, (tops pointing
towards one another), fed IN-PHASE
for elliptical polarization? (I don't want RHCP/LHCP)

I am primarily a 6m DXer so local tropo, EME, etc. usually does not interest
me much.

I'm thinking of a pair of the K6STI long 5 elements spaced 5/8wl apart up @
58' or so.

Have 5 "other" 6m antennas here, so wanna try something "new".
