When using a linear antenna ground effects\nincluding reflections will cause a larger change. Using circular on both\nends will result in less fading from the ground effects and no change in\nsignal for antenna rotation on the S/C side providing the S/C antenna has a\ngood pointing angle. Losses of 22 +dB are reserved for cross polarization of\nantennas H-V and LH to RH.\n\nArt, KC6UQH \n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Clint Bradford\nSent: Sunday, December 06, 2009 7:15 PM\nTo: Glenn AA5PK\nCc: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 - After the Change\n\n >> ... I think the handheld ops have less trouble with the polarity \nswitching because tend to compensate more quickly with a twist of the \nwrist ...\n\nThat phenomenon is not evident now - nor has it ever been - for me on \nAO-51.\n\nI know the engineers say I am supposed to be increasing or decreasing \nmy signal strength by 22 or 23db by merely twisting my Yagi 90 \ndegrees. But I have hundreds of witnesses during dozens of \ndemonstrations who will tell you that when the Yagi is turned 90 \ndegrees, there's no discernible change in the signal.\n\nThis is not a scientific approach to the subject, of course. Just what \nmy aging ears can hear.\n\nI have heard fellow AMSAT members describe AO-51's \"signal fading due \nto the satellite tumbling in space,\" too. I am not using elaborate \nequipment, but have no idea what they are talking about.\n\nJust my firsthand observations. Guess I could be wrong ... we are a \nlittle different - I am told - out hre on the West Coast of the US.\n\nClint Bradford, K6LCS\n\n\n\n\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
