I think that for satellites, if you do not have circular polarization, no particular polarization is better than any other. You can't count on the satellite being in any particular orientation.

Newbie getting into sats. Initially I have 5el 2m & 5el 440 for rooftop mount with only azimuth rotation and fixed elevation. Recommended polarization for each band?

Eventually will get el/az rotator and circular polarization/switching but thats a ways off.'

Have other 2m and 440 beams but cannot find good article on phasing lines for discreet antennas to achieve circular polarization
