Can I have both? Well, around here (the Chippewa Valley area) in
WI we all use horizontal on all bands from 6M and up. Actually, I was
just thinking about an Alford slot in the mobile since it is supposedly
fairly omnidirectional and horizontally polarized. Seemed it might be
OK for driving around and listening for my beacon or maybe an operator
or two if they also were using an omni horizontal antenna. There are
several of us on 902 within about 15 miles of each other...

I'll check out the inverted F on the website you cite. I'm guessing it
will be similar to the innards of blade antennas made for the VHF/UHF
aviation bands...

Hi Scott?

What is that you want decent mobile operation, or decent horizontal
pattern? At 902MHz is there much call for horizontal? Especially in
a mobile?
