paper, there are no Fresnel problems.  There are temperature inversions.

In my travels and experience it apperars that the majority of STL in the 960 
band are horizontal.  I have seen several operating vertical where they chose 
to do so because of close spaced frequencies to the receive location atop a 
mountain.  But the majority used horizontal polarization.

I was once involved with a remote where we be broadcasting with two 161 mhz. 
transmitters on adjacent frequencies and receiving at the same site.  Since we 
were using yagi antennas we changed the transmitt and receive antenna from 
vertical to horizontal and it reduced the ocassional adjacent channel 
interference to allow us to use the equipment.
