MUCH stronger signal on AO-51, but still had fading. So, circular polarization is not a complete fix. It was interesting listening to both U and S downlinks at the same time...\n\nGreg KO6TH\n\n\n----------------------------------------\n> From: [email protected]\n> To: [email protected]\n> Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:52:59 -0500\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Rotor freezing and S mode\n> \n> \n> With the actual A0-51 configuration U/S transmitters ON i recheck my BBQ grill performance.
