Hi Fred, et al,
I agree with you.
Here is the curly one, -
has any body (or their brains, for that matter), made a study of the phasing
of non axial antennas.
To be specific, would a mounting, different from -45 , +45 degrees, produce
a polarisation closer to circular, if so what would the angles be ?
