Hi Mike-Yes the default is RHCP. I found LHCP was necessary to hear Arecibo, when switching to RHCP the signal disappeared.

I had to energize the relay on the antenna in order to hear them. I assume it's RHCP normally, and LHCP when the relay is energized. I actually had better copy during the SSB portion than the CW, but am not sure why that was. --Mike WQ5C On 4/17/2010 4:31 PM, i8cvs wrote: > Hi Bob, W7LRD > > What polarization have you used on your 40 el cp ?
