Yes, I’m using it vertically polarized. The fishing pole allows me to put the antenna away from the building through the window to have a better reception. The result is like a T rotated 90 degrees. If I want to change the polarization I only have to rotate the fishing pole. But I’m only using FM and everybody else is using vertically polarization.

Yes, any antenna is better than no antenna at all. But I’ve been struggling to find a solution for my qth. Almost everyone assumes that you have a balcony to put the antenna and I didn’t have one. So hopefully this could work for others.
