I can confirm the comments below.
I use a RHCP QFHA and some times I abruptly lost the satellite, most of
the time the fade-out of the signal is pronounced when the sat pass the
TCA and then... you lost it...
This weekend I going to build the LHCP version...

Hi Ken,
You can experience the same effect from SO-50 when using circularly
polarized antennas on ground.
SO-50 also have linear antennas for the FM repeater.
I must change between RHCP and LHCP to get maximum signal during a pass.
Sometimes the difference is from zero to a very good signal.
