FM Double-Hoop + Vertical-Dipole Outside
FM Double-Hoop plus Vertical Dipole Outside analyzed using 4nec2.

This antenna responds to both Horizontal and Vertical Polarization, although they are only have equal Raw Gain at about 97 MHz.
Below 97 MHz, Vertical Gain is reduced by more than 10 dB and above 97 MHz Horizontal Gain is reduced by more than 10 dB.
However, Total Gain (Vert. + Horiz.) remained between -1.9 and +2.1 dBi across all angles and frequencies.
SWR (75-ohms) was under 5.  SWR (300-ohms) was excessive on the lowest frequencies.

Although Raw Gain varies quite a bit,  the Omni-Directional azimuthal coverage remains very consistent across all angles.
However, users may be unhappy with performance if a station is only transmitting one Polarity.
