Keep in mind the DDRR Antenna is a reduced size vertical polarized antenna and the Squalo & Ho-Loop are normally considered full or standard size loop type antennas that are horizontally polarized. And most mobiles working FM are vertical polarized signals. > ... especially because I wouldn't want to try the squalo if > the majority says it won't perform as expected. It should preform exactly as we expect it would. But not as you might desire it would... > Would you use just one of them even though it's on the side > of the tower or 2 or 4 of them around? Squalo &/or Ho-Loop rotated out of the normal mounting plane and installed on a tower? Zero or not Your intention of possibly mounting a rotated Squalo or Ho-Loop is a popcorn fart. They are normally considered a standard size loop and by the time you get one installed you've practically reached the size of a standard 1/4 ground plane. So avoid the obvious waste of time... and money. DDRR Antenna mounted on a tower? Only if there were no other decent options. Maybe, but I've never run into that situation. s.
