RE: [amsat-bb] Circular patch behaves linear

["Frederick M. Spinner" <fspinner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Impressive.  Those all appear to resonate a little bit high (ideally the 
center of the W in the dip should be at 2401 MHz).. but they all look like 
they'd work fine and be CP.

I never got my K3TZ style to show that dip or CP.   But I do know that 
theoretically that design should work.  I've just never gotten one to do 
that.

Congrats on that.  I probably stand corrected that the G3RUH/W0LMD style is 
the only one I've ever seen being CP.

Also all of the guys who wondered what a CP patch should look like on an 
analyzer... there you go.
