The Handbook I brought up here is the 1976 Edition and I can see a
VHF Halo that looks Vertically polarized on page 330 but it doesn't
look anything like the 6 Meter Horizontally polarized Halo I used with
my Sixer.

I will go see if I have a 1967 Handbook to see what this here DDRR
is all about.  Thanks!
