FYI, Nils E. Lindenblad was a pioneering antenna engineer who worked for RCA 
starting from its earliest days.

The Lindenblad c-pol antenna was his design and patent, and not something 
"developed by the amateur radio community," as you imply.

Amateurs only adopted it because it worked very well for receiving signals 
from orbiting satellites.
