My new "mini-array" is born, using two Arrow antennas phased together. I'm using switches that allow changing polarity between vertical, horizontal, left-hand and right-hand circular polarization. This setup is an experiment to test if switchable polarization will allow these little antennas to outperform a set of higher gain fixed antennas in real amateur satellite use. Either way this will be a lot easier to transport to field day! I've wanted to try this for a few years and am excited to share my project with the community. Part 2 to follow with on-air testing once I finish the control cables and get the antennas mounted.
