This was my experience with a KLM 435-40CX and no preamp into a FT-736R. I had to energize the relay on the antenna in order to hear them. I assume it's RHCP normally, and LHCP when the relay is energized.
I actually had better copy during the SSB portion than the CW, but am not sure why that was.

Hi Bob, W7LRD
What polarization have you used on your 40 el cp ? RHCP or LHCP ? I am sure that with LHCP it was a very consistant signal and with RHCP nothing was heard.
Please confirm !

Very consistant signal 910/40el cp. I wish they would use dxpedition qso
methods for more qso/hr. This is a very finite opportunity. Had fun anyway, better luck tomorrow.
