Will a CP\nantenna work? Yes. Polarization should not matter for AO-92. (BTW I\npresume you mean AO-92, not AO-91 in which case L band just flat won't\nwork no matter the antenna, period.) :-)\n\nI use RHCP because I built my antenna for AO-51 and that is was in use\nat the time. I believe that when CP is used on a satellite, at least in\nthe AMSAT history, it has been RHCP most of the time so building for\nRHCP may have advantages for future satellites.\n\nJerry Buxton, NØJY\n\nOn 3/11/2018 15:44, Todd W Deckard wrote:\n> Would it be correct to use a CP antenna on the L-band uplink for AO-91?
