My new 10' boom\ncomprises sched. 40 conduit with an snug-fitting 8' length of doweling \nplaced inside. Others have removed any 'play' between the doweling and the\nconduit by spraying expanding foam inside the ends of the conduit. I\nsuppose one should cap the ends, too. The total cost of this for me was CAN\n$20. The antennas, rotors and mast are on sawhorses now, but as far as I\ncan see the conduit-dowel boom has an appropriate stiffness.\n\n\nNow my question:\nHoward mentioned the much-documented advantages of polarization switching\nfor LEO satellite work. In this same context, is it worth the additional\nwork to include the remote logic required for V and H polarizations along\nwith RHCP and LHCP? \n\n73, Bruce VE9QRP \n",
