Default Maco m103 at 45 deg

Anyone ever try mounting a m103 at 45 deg.? Seems that when shooting
skip, the polarization gets tossed around from reflection and I find
myself swiching back and forth from the imax to the maco(flat side)
while talking to get the best reception while chatting with the same
station. Just wanted to know if anyone has ever tried this, and what
the results were. I know you can get dual polorized beams, but curious
if this has worked for anyone. Thanks, Bill

Hello Bill:

Yes the polarity changing from vert to horz and back happens all the
time. I would see this with my 4 element Moonraker Beam, having to
switch back and forth from vert to horz to hear the skip station.

It might be a good call to at least try and see what differences you see
with the MaCo 103 at a 45 degree angle. Maybe not a hole lot??!?!

The Quad Beam Antennas have two elements in the vertical polarity and
two elements in the horizontal polarity, per quad loop element. So they
should not be so picky in transmitting or receiving either polarity.

Cubex makes a quad for the CB Band, they are at:
