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?




A "big wheel" is omni and horizontal, but not especially broadband.
