I am sure this information has been seen here previously but I had no need for it until now. Picked up circular polarized ants and wondering which pol VO-52 is or does it continuously change?

John,
According to the weekly ANS report:
VO-52
V: LHCP U: RHCP
That having been said, it is always desirable to be able to switch the polarization. While the best signal, often by a wide margin, is found with the published values, there are often times where with geometries far off axis that the opposite polarization is significantly better. I have found this over a wide range of satellites.
