Thats interesting about the affect of wrong polarisation - 20dB

According to my other info here that is about S4 to S7 difference.

AO-51 is LHCP on 435.150, RHCP on 435.300, and linear on 2401.200. If your
helix is LHCP and you are listening to the .300 voice downlink, you are in
the neighborhood of 20db down from a RHCP helix.
