I used to have a Wilson Shooting Star and the ability to switch polarity was a great asset. Sometimes the best signal strength was on V and sometimes on H and sometimes you had to switch often within five minutes while talking to the same station. There were times when local AMers would deliberately try to jam us on SSB and we would just flip to horizontal and keep right on talking while the jammers signals dropped several S-units. people don't know what they are missing until they can switch polarity with the flip of a switch.
