Hi David,
The short answer is NO.

But there are more to it than that :-)

I think I still have an article about that if you are interested.

Is a UHF circular polarization antenna needed for the current operational
satellites?
I am planning some work on my antenna system and wonder if the CP
is needed, or actually, deteriorate the signal by 3dB if the satellites are 
using linear antennae??
