To make a long story short.
Try it before you spend more money. It probably will be a good antenna for
your attic. No water issues at that location. Set it up for LHCP and with
the current satellites it will work most of the times just fine.
Why pay big bucks for a newer one if this will work
Someone gave me an old but new-in-box version of the same antenna a few
years ago. I did a shoot out between it and the three element Arrow. I
used a ten degree AO-7 and a two degree VO-52 pass for comparison between
mode B satellites.
My tests showed the Cushcraft in RHCP did not perform
Hi Les, N1LF
To built a polarization switching for a crossed yagi Cushcraft
A144-10 T is unpractical because the antenna and the phasing
harness are using PL connectors and the coax relays are normally
supplied with N type connectors.
You can't remove the PL connectors from the phasing harness

I just acquired a new in the-box, never assembled Crushcraft
I have a Cushcraft A144-20T. Twice as many elements in each plane than
yours. I run both a vertical and horizontal coax to my shack and use a
crossover coax switch with phasing and impedance matching coax to
generate switchable circular polarization in the shack. Works great for
me. The
