What if the signals between you and the rare DX became vertically polarized?
Would you then have an advantage in the pile up if you could switch to a
vertically polarized gain antenna?
As I understand it the Gizmotchy allows switching from horizontal to
vertical polarization with gain on just one boom. I don't think it is
supplied from the factory with the feeding of both polarizations at the same
time, although it could be configured that way.
