Thanks to all for the reply to this thread... Conclusion is that I need RHCP & LHCP switchable antennas... And my antenna is working good... but I'm reading an article Art send me to improve my knowledge about QFHA... 73 and Thanks to all. El 16/02/13 23:21, Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa escribió

Hi Pavel, The issue may not be the antenna - but SO-50. The antennas are linear - but the received signal strength can vary a lot if you have just RHCP or LHCP. During passes here in Copenhagen, Denmark I experience large differences in signal strength which can be counteracted by changing polarity

Ing. Pavel, There are a whole series of QFH antennas. 1/4,turn, 1/4 wavelength through 1 turn 1 Wavelength. Gain at the horizon is determined by the ratio of the axial length in fractions of a wave length. The best performance I have obtained is a 1 wavelength per side, 1 turn, for good gain at t
