The M^2 (M-Squared) Ho-Loop works nice and is simple, small and should
be rugged enough (I use mine for mobile use at 70 MPH down the
highway). I bought mine at AES.

The M^2 website claims "Horizontal polarity permits a single HO loop to
pick up 4+dB of ground gain that verticals can't."

Can someone explain this ? I wouldn't have thought polarisation would
make any difference.

I modelled a halo and a j-pole , both at 5m. I got 6.83dBi for the
halo at 6deg, and 6.65dBi for the j-pole at 4.5 deg. Am I missing
something ?
