Oh, I forgot...circular polarization would be excellent to use on VHF and UHF repeater. We want the extra signal strength & the multipath would be way less; less deviation 5 kHz vs. 75 kHz means less susceptability to multipath. Pasternak's Repeater Handbook shows actual results.

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. Those that don't are licensed for only V or H or choose to use a less-expensive single-polarization antenna. And many of them look like rototillers, and other shapes.
