if you're using single plane polarization yagis for the sats it doesn't matter what that polarization is ssince the satellites are not fixed in their polarization themselves often the satellites are rotating even so there will be no change in effect if you decide to do horizontal or vertical. Most satellite work is done with circular polarization because it receives equally well no matter the polarization so the satellite won't fade at all if it rotates. if you have a copy of the ARRL handbook the space communications chapter would be a good thing for you to read...although it is a little bit outdated -Steve VA3SAX
