LDF4-50A down to the shack directly to the radio, of \ncourse BNC to N adapter on the antenna and N to PL259 on the radio \nside... It's at mast top.\n\nResults are good... In passes of over 20 degrees (almost the real \nhorizon here) I have a good copy, until... TCA, in which I lost the \nsignal completely...\n\nTCA = Time of Closest Approach.\n\nIn northbound passes (I've not tested it in southbound) it work as I \njust said...\n\nI have been reading and investigating this strange issue and I think it \nis due to polarization...\n\nI had read that SO-50 is linear polarized on 2m AND 70cm with aprox 45 \ndegrees each other...\n\nThen Linear to LHCP in the worst case is 3dB loss (half power) but \nconsistent over the entire pass... or have SO-50 some \ncircular/elliptical component in it's signals that renders useless the \nantenna after TCA? spin maybe?\n\nThere is any chapter of the book I missed or other variable(s) that I \nhave not taking into account here?\n\nAny comment, link or other kinds of help are welcomed..\n\n73 de CO7WT.\n", "attachments": [] }
