Jo Gunn 8+8 "Killer Star" Gizmotchy Style.

They cannot be fed in phase. Gizmotchy's idea is just another CB fallacy. Both polarities at the same time in phase is very different from circular polarity.

What if element one is 90 degrees out of phase?

 

[Captain Kilowatt]

Then you end up with either right hand or left hand circular depending on which element is fed out of phase. Good info here.

Then it depends on how far apart they are, the radiation pattern will be affected, pattern can vary from a carotid to a figure 8, and even an omni.

This CB circular polarization snake oil is no where near a turnstile antenna

That was a C/P from the Gizmotchy site... they seem to think that just feeding a verticle element and a horiz element simultaneously results in circular polarization.

Close, but, no banana

To be fair D B, the Gizmotchy site does not exactly say feeding the vertical and horizontal simultaneously...results in circular polarization.

Here is the link using their idea to allow CP using a harness. This is at the bottom of their ad. Does it work is another question that could be argued however.

Is there any way to visualize an RF pattern in the field?

Would be neat for sure!
