A true 2.4 is in the mail to replace it and with 2 antennas now i will be able to install them to have vertical and horizontal polarisation and i will see if there is some improvement at 2.4ghz when switching between them. Nobody answer me back regarding the S band linear "not circular" AO-51 antenna but the fades are probably due to some antenna blocking than anything else. On the last S band session me and Clare VE3NPC noted that the fades does not happen at the same time on our respective QTH there is surely not some selective circular polarisation path?
