layer influences ( for lack of a better word and my memory)  change these
signals into primarily horizontally polarized signals  anyway.  Does it make
sense? Anyone have thoughts on  that? 
 
    You bet. The winning strategy is to have a CHOICE  of antennas per 
band. At any time, one will always outplay the other(s).
