[amsat-bb] AO-91 and circular polarization?

[Todd W Deckard]

Would it be correct to use a CP antenna on the L-band uplink for AO-91?   If so which polarization?

Just purchased an ICOM X-2 on ebay that gets me 1.2ghz and the temps are getting civilized so it’s about time to get back on the air ...

My elev. over azimuth system is already swinging more mass than it was geared for and i’m looking to cook up a small antenna that doesn’t add too much straw to the camel.  

I would like to go Helical just because ...

if anyone has an alternate suggestion I’d listen to any and all.

Thanks
Todd
