[amsat-bb] Antenna Polarization Question

[on4cjq at telenet.be]

Brian,

i have 2 systems for sat: 
main station has switchable polarisation between RHCP and LHCP and i switch on ALL sat-passes. Tested a system in the past with a switch between H and V, but i like the RHCP/LHCP switching the most because less fading.

sub station is with 2 smaller crossyagis with a 4 polarisation switch per antenna; most of the time i use at these antennas the RHCP and LHCP position, but it is nice to use the V and H positions as extra,but not needed for sat, only for terrestrial dx(H) and local chat(V).It was just a nice project to make the 4p switch and hoping it should work...and it is.

Should I be using LHCP or RHCP when setting up the 2 meter and 440 yagi's to work the LEO's.

Thank you
