Antenna Polarization
I'm working on some antennas for an ARISS contact early next year and I'm wondering what Antenna Polarization (RH or LH) I should be using?
Also, on UHF which is more prominent on the current sats? I'll set the antenna to RH or LH by default for the most popular.
Regards,
Peter

What aerial do you use?
Hi, I would be interested to know what aerials are used by you guys to receive the ISS. I am making a turnstile at the moment and would be interested to hear your comments about various types of aerials.

War against SPAM
Hello,
I recently upgraded the signup procedure to block unwanted subscriptions performed by Spam bots and/or human Spammers.
In the past few days I don't see any more spam subscribers, but I saw spammers reactivating fake accounts that had been left dormant for months.
For this reason, I am about to drop 2451 accounts that are highly suspicious of being automatically registered by spamming networks. The criteria I used to identify them are:
1) the nickname IS NOT an amateur radio callsign
2) the registration date is after 2010
3) the account has never been used

Hi,
I have some knowledge of basic radio theory and would like to try listening to ISS.
I was thinking of buying a second-hand Icom PCR1000, but would be keen to hear any comments on what would be suitable without breaking the bank please.
Also, I have been reading about "egg-beater" type antennae for use with weather satellite reception, and wondered if this would be a good idea for ISS also.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks......Mike (Cambridge - UK)
