How do you determine the polarity of a loop yagi? >>

Squash one of the loops from the top toward the boom.  Then it will look like 
a folded dipole and the polarity will suddenly be revealed.
But if you dont want to squash an element or wait for a large bird to do it, 
horizontal polarization has the loops bolted to the top of the boom and 
vertical bolted to the side of the boom just like a normal Yagi.  Or if'n it 
dont seem to work one way, rotate the boom 90 degrees.
