All this and Silvereagle1, has been long gone for nearly 8 years. I really don't think his question was about circular polarization.

Early on in this SE1 thread, Robb mentioned the idea about circular polarization regarding the Maco harness noted above. I knew very little to nothing about circular polarization, but I disagreed wtih Robb's description of this Maco Harness, and that it was for the purpose of Circular Polarization.

I remember a big ole' junkie CB SWR/Power meter I had with 3 antenna switches and 3 coax ports, Vertical, Horizontal, and Combined.

Working DX I could NOT tell any difference when switching to Combine. I could most often tell a notable increase in Rx when switching from Vertical to Horizontal, and I could also say there were likely a few exceptions too.

Working my horizontal beam with another horizontal beam locally...was always a win-win contact...even in the days when the airways were full of vertical CB radio signals 24-7.

Just my recollections and observations.
