In the early days of FM radio in the 88-108 MHz spectrum, the radio stations
broadcasted horizontal polarization. However, in the 1960's, FM radios
became popular in automobiles which used vertical polarized receiving whip
antennas. As a result, the FCC modified Part 73 of the rules and
regulations to allow FM stations to broadcast RHC or elliptical polarization
to improve reception to vertical receiving antennas as long as the
horizontal component was dominant.

Thanks Caveat Lector.
