   Would a dipole mounted at a 45° angle result in being able to receive both vertically and horizontally polarized signals (albeit not as strongly)? :blobfoxthinkgoogly:

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com you always receive both vertically and horizontally polarized signals, along with everything in between.
     
     it's matter of rejection.

     @tk Yes! Signals would be about 3dB weaker from aligned polarization. It's not a bad option at all.
