[amsat-bb] Optimum antenna polarization for UO14

[Ah6ez@xxxxxxx]

I recently operated for several days using an Arrow Antenna hand held from 
grid CN88, Nordland, WA (Jefferson County). Even with only 5 watts I was 
surprised how well I could consistently optimize the signals by quickly rotating the 
antenna to arbitrary angles.

With a linear polarized antenna in my attic, I have seen large fades.

Does anybody have recommendations for RHCP or LHCP for UO14?

PS. Anybody who thought you worked me July 31 in grid CN86, I was actually in 
CN96, Yakima, WA. A small detail lost in the excitement of the moment.
