If you could phase these so as to generate and receive cochlear polarization 
(90 deg), either LH or RH, you might see a very big increase (I think as much 
as 6 dB) in rx signal strength from what I've read. That would be pretty cool.

I've never heard of cochlear polarization. These dipoles are horizontal, at right angles in the horizontal plane. Driving both of them with a suitable phasing network would result in a circular pattern, at the expense of 3dB of gain. Far better switch them and keep the 3 dB.
