The discussion was about circularly-polarized antenna arrays, so my comments were completely correct - not "pretty much". -grin- In my experience, cross-polarized antenna systems (those with simultaneous in-phase vertical and horizontal components) can make multipath cancellations worse, not better. Depends to some degree on the nature of the objects causing the reflections, I'm sure, and whether or not the two antenna components are fed in a controlled way or just excited by being in the field of the main element. Circular does not have this drawback, as at any given instant it is just one polarization. Steve WD8DAS
