Domenico,
Thanks for sending the K4KJ article.
However my question was why does STRaND1, which only has a whip antenna,
sometimes appear to exhibit circular polarity characteristics? I would
expect a whip antenna transmitting from space to have the same signal
strength on the ground using either RH or LH polarity on my receiving
antenna.

Hi Ken, W7KKE
The answere to your question is clearly described into the zipped article
"Circular Polarization" by K4KJ, 5 MB long that I have sent to you in
a separate email.

During my last pass at 0332Z, max elevation 45 degrees out over the
Pacific,
I noticed that STRaND1 was stronger when I selected LHCP while approaching
TCA. After TCA, RHCP was stronger while it was receding. I believe this
cubesat uses a whip, so not sure what is causing this.
Anyone have an idea why?
Tnx,
Ken, W7KKE
