no,... it is NOT "ALL" polarizations when fed 90 out and Xpolarization.

this is basic turnstile antenna theory.

when 2 antennas are @ 90 degrees to each other and are fed 90 degrees out of phase and mounted horizontally the antenna is nearly omnidirectional on the horizontal plane.

When mounted vertically the antenna is directional to a right angle to its plane and is circularly polarized.

these antennas are normally used when working the FM sats, but, they can be used on HF with some success, go here: http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oGdXbXODxOJ1kAlENXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE1Nzc2MTAzBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNARjb2xvA3NrMQR2dGlkA0FDQlkwNV8xNDE-/SIG=11vur7ios/EXP=1312591159/**http%3a//www.bruhns.us/CP_on_HF/CP_on_HF.html
