Greetings TOM!   
      
      
    RW> EV> TW>>> You could consider the Quagi a verticaly polarized SQUALO   
    RW> EV> TW>>> with directors and a reflector.   
      
    RW>> If it is vertically polarized, yes. What if it is horizontally   
    RW>> polarized?   
      
    TW> It was designed as a Horizontial low profile antenna. OF course it   
    TW> could be turned on it's side but that would be unusual practice   
      
   That unusual practice will eliminate man made noise, making communications   
   much better and reach out further than it would be vertically. Of course,   
   the oher end needs to be of the same polarization.   
      
   i.e. Cut properly and mounted such, a quagi can be made to receive TV   
   signals which are horizontally polarized.   
      
    RW> EV>>> I came close then, didn't I?, comparing the Rear Elements of   
    RW> EV>>> the Beam to a SQUALO.   
      
    RW> TW>> the actualy square antenna antenna elements are of differnet   
    RW> TW>> designs so that is why said: "You could consider..."   
      
    RW>> Did you also know that a SQUALO is the name of a certain kind of   
    RW>> shark?   
      
    TW> Yes I did, and as I recall there was a submarine named after that   
    TW> fish back in the day that was standard Navy Practice.

       Have a day!
