BTW - does anyone know if the EME boys employ circular polarization? 73, Charlie, K4OTV Hello all, My original post regarding circular polarization receiving antennas for 160 was posted 2/2/2014 as a
Heres a recent link from Ed KL7UW regarding his experience with Adaptive Polarity Reception: http://www.kl7uw.com/LINRAD.htm We were discussing the K3 and dual receiver diversity mode, and I had aske
Yes, on some of the bands circular polarization is used for EME -- 73 Joel W5ZN www.w5zn.org _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Thanks, Joel! That makes perfect sense to me! I dont keep up with EME, as Im an HF CW DXer, but it seemed that the EME guys might use circular polarization to contend with the Faraday Rotation in Ear
... circular polarization is standard on 23cm, 13cm and 9cm EME. For 10 GHz it is becoming more popular (because there are now feed designs that can be (more) easily reproduced on this band. 73ss Car
Thanks for the info Carsten! Makes perfect sense to me, based on my spacecraft experience of long ago. Thanks for the update from the EME crowd! 73, Charlie, K4OTV ... circular polarization is standa
I used it on 1296 a bit over 30 years ago, however both ends have to agree on which rotation they will use. I suspect it is more standardized now. And a lot easier to make power than a ring of 7289's
