Polarization

Information regarding the polarization of the antenna with respect to its feed point would be helpful as that is a question in the HAM license exam (G9C20). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.215.19.45 (talk) 04:07, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vertical - fed at base, horizontal at side - but beware as they feeder has to be kept away from metal work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.244.53.168 (talk • contribs) 15:17, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The QuadLock mention

The article mentions QuadLock and that seems to be almost an advertisement for some proprietary product. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.78.214.212 (talk) 06:22, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

E-Z-O antenna section insignificant

So, an engineer designed an antenna in 2008, and as stated, there's no reliable simulations, or properly verifiable antenna measurements. I'll say: this is not wikipedia-grade sources, and the question really ought top be asked whether including this specific kind of antenna here has any benefit to the reader. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.13.72.197 (talk) 10:08, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
