Greetings all;
I'm in the process of doing a complete station rebuild. I've been debating with a fellow ham regarding the relative merits of CP (fixed or switchable RHCP, LHCP) vs. LP and I was wondering about any technical resources that are available to help with the decision making process. I'm open to everything from anecdote to detailed technical information but in essence I'd really like to understand what kind of system performance and reliability issues I'd expect for a typical installation.
My station is an IC-9100 and will soon be lashed to a Yaesu AzEl rotor sitting on a Glen Martin 4.5 foot tower. I like the idea of (but not necessarily the price) the M2 70cm and 2m with the switchable polarity kit. Anybody have any direct experience with this antenna system and advice regarding same?
