Lots of consumer TV receivers use vertical, telescopic whips.

The local channel 8 analog station here had a CP antenna. To get their
316KW horizontal ERP they put 77KW up the coax from a many-yards-long Larcan
transmitter. They had a whopper signal around here and it was very easy to get
a great picture even with rabbit ears. I know that their excellent signal
wasn't just because of CP, but it had to help. I wonder what their reasons were
to go CP?
