... and look toward the lower quarter of the list for, "Domenico, I8CVS (SK) published a two-part article in the AMSAT Journal about his design for switching polarization on circularly polarized antennas. The PDF files are available for download as Part1 (2MB) and Part2 (4MB)"

I'm looking for an old AMSAT Journal article by Domenico Marini I8CVS titled
"Switching Four Polarizations on a 70cm Crossed Yagi." I looked up Domenico to ask directly but learned he is a silent key. If anyone could send me a PDF, or guide me to where I might find an archive it would be greatly appreciated.

Also interested in any feedback on mounting yagis in an X-configuration and using horizontal polarity for VHF contesting plus other polarities for satellites. Minikits offers a kit to do the switching, apparently inspired by Domenico's design.
