[amsat-bb] Satellite Antenna Polarization Data

["Alan WA4SCA" <WA4SCA@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

So far, with the help of work by OZ1MY, WD0E, WA4SXM, and many fragmentary
references from various internet sources, I have come up with the following
tentative list of satellite antenna data.  It doesn't cover birds no longer
operative.  Please take a look and pass me any corrections.  At the end of
the list is the proposed format, chosen for brevity, with AO-51 used as an
example.
