-> I've got another question for you (or anyone else who reads this!).
-> It concerns antenna polarization.
->
-> The ARRL General Class License Manual states: "The polarization of
-> the signal from a quad antenna is determined by where the feed point
-> is located on the driven element.  With the feed point located in the
-> center of a side parallel to the Earth's surface, the transmitted
-> wave will be horizontally polarized; fed in the center of a
-> perpendicular side, the transmitted wave will be vertically
-> polarized.  If we turn the antenna 45-deg., so it looks like a
-> diamond, and feed it at the bottom corner, the transmitted wave will
-> be horizontally polarized.  If the antenna is fed at a side corner,
-> the transmitted wave will be vertically polarized."
->
-> I understand all this (I think! =:^), but what I'm curious about is
-> what polarization would result if the (diamond-shaped) quad was fed
-> at the TOP corner?
->
-> I'm assuming that it would be horizontal, the same as when fed from
-> the bottom.  Another person says vertical.
  You would be right and they would be Wrong. It would be Horizontal.
Dosen't make any difference if the Feed is Top or Bottom. It is just Far
more convient to have the feed point on the bottom.
