Default Would a discone cover all the US TV broadcast Freqs?

How about a dual-discone mounted horizontally?

If I did that, the omi-directionality (if that's a word) would go away and
so would most of the compactness needed foe stealthiness.
So - does anyone know of an omni directional horizontally polarized wide
band antenna?



Somewhat tricky..

Two crossed dipoles fed with the correct phasing is very close to that.

Check out "Lindenblad" or "turnstile"
