I have seen some set ups with all the antennas being the same and then I have seen the hot antenna different from the elements being used. When was up in the NW corner this one guy was running a squared boxed tube antenna for a shootout. This was a Skullcracka made. He did beat a few of the 8 pill boxes.
Brotherman,
It really is still a vertical, no change in polarization ('shape', yes. Polarization, no.). The horizontal part acts as a capacity hat for the vertical part...

Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
