Default Quad Antenna

Question - Is the polarity of the antenna based on the feed point?

Yes!

Feeding at the "bottom" makes it horizontal and the "side" vertical.
There is obviously some response in the other polarity (more than a
yagi?) but I havent researched this. The square can also be a
rectangle... (Beware of feedpoint Z changes)

You can also feed the in quadrature on two adjacent corners for circular..
