On line-of-sight (LOS) paths, it is most important that the polarization of
the antennas at both ends of the path use the same polarization. In a
linearly polarized system, a misalignment of polarization of 45 degrees will
degrade the signal up to 3 dB and if misaligned 90 degrees the attenuation
can be 20 dB or more.

However, a yagi can be rotated 90 deg to have vertical polarization
thereby avoiding the cross polarization attenuation which can be
significant. Just be careful of interaction between the yagi elements and
the mast.
AND
A quad can be fed to have vertical polarization

Depends on how high the repeater antenna is and how much power you're
running -- to hit a repeater at that distance your best bet is
probably a small beam, regardless of polarization issues.

A beam would also be your best bet for general 6 meter work.

Six meter beams aren't all that expensive -- if you really want to
homebrew one, do a google search.

Have you had experience and can you recommend a good one..!!!
THX in advance
