Very, very much not an urban setting, but West Virginia Public Radio was exclusively horizontally polarized at most, if not all, their dozen mountain top transmitters. The chief emgineer contended it worked better in the mountainous terrain. Their situation might have assumed a fixed transmitter power out, thus the circular would result in half the ERP (per polarization). I note that they have recently obtained construction permits to convert to circular. Perhaps they are buying new transmitters - which will have much higher efficiency. This way the power bill and wires up the mountain need not change (much) to get the higher transmitter output needed to maintain the same horixontal ERP when going to circular. |
