Funny thing about cross polarization. It seems to matter more on VHF and above. I have noticed the typical 20 or 25 dB difference on HFbut on 2m SSB the difference is dramatic.An S-9 signal dissapears with cross polarization. Not sure why the difference but it is quite repeatable on my end regardless if it is me or the other station that switches polarity. Anyone else notice tht on VHF preferably SSB as on FM the alc action works differently.
