Needle Bender,
Why would it be beneficial to always transmit horizontally and have the ability to change between vertical/horizontal polarization when receiving? That would be true only if the signal made a 'skip' change, polarization change... in both directions. Having the ability to make a polarization change when receiving is certainly nice, but without the ability to also make a polarization change when transmitting it would be a "one-way" benefit. Not always being a benefit to the person hearing/not hearing you. Unfortunately, propagation is not always reciprocal. Or, I'm simply not understanding what you're trying to say...
