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?


As close as you are to them, anything will work and you don't need to worry
about the loss due to polarization.
