Thanks, the ones was considering are the yagis with the elements bent
into loops, but, from what I see, wouldn't really make a differnece.
note some of the 1296 antennas shaped like that, at any rate!

Hold on. Those are "Loop Yagis." They are not circularly polarized
any more than a quad is. When an approximate one-wavelength loop is
fed at the bottom, it has linear horizontal polarization. Period.


But, again, when I think-- dangerous things tend to happen!
Never have done it- tho WA7TDU lived about 4 blocks from me when
in K.Falls, and K7XC, down here in Reno also has done it.
Keep thinking of giveing it a try, but dont knowif ever will happen.

I don't have all of my old logs computerized but I seem to remember
working 'TDU. I have K7XC in the log on two-meters. My ragchewing
tropo range was about 400 miles and my best DX was 10,000 miles [g].
