Maybe I'm not understanding it, but why does one need to switch between both, unless a particular satellite has LHCP or RHCP? Jordan KF5COQ

Hi Brian, Both. You are going to need to switch between RHCP and LHCP often during a sat pass. The same happens if using linear polarization (V/H) but in this case the switch between V and H will happen much more often than in CP. 73 Ed PY2RN

Should I be using LHCP or RHCP when setting up the 2 meter and 440 yagi's to work the LEO's.
Thank you
