Well, I have only one observation on this statment. In late 70's or early 80's CP was the proposed solution to ghosting. WTTV - 4 Bloomington converted to CP for that exact reason. Working in the field we documented the difference at a receive site. I still have the Poloraid's somewhere but

Right you are, Paul. However, all it takes is several wavelength's of physical separation to reap all of the diversity gain.  Of course, that's not gain in the usual sense.  Antenna diversity has been known of since the 1920s. To get even more diversity, one could have two sets of H V

In reference to below, what would be the real advantage to using CP antennas in addition to the V and H you'd have already? Any signal that arrives will excite a V and/or H antenna according to it's arriving polarization, and I don't see where CP would be a help. Most FM broadcasters use CP.
