[amsat-bb] Re: AO51 435.150 downlink ?

Thanks Alan & Andrew for confirming.

As alternative I could use my portable antenna, but having that in my hands in the garden and the 23cm uplink in the shack is difficult :-)

Need to wait until AO51 will be in 23cm up and 435.300 downlink.

Until then: thanks !

ps: the 23cm is to prepare for Cute

...

a) is this because of the fact that AO51 uses LHCP on 435.150 ? b) anyone else confirming the same sharp difference between RHCP & LHCP on the AO51 downlink ? (guess this could be an argument NOT to use circular polarization)

Hi Henk, I think you've got it right, the polarity difference is a killer.
