[time-nuts] Antenna question about RHCP/LHCP I'm sure a time-nutcan answer

[David J Taylor]

Slightly off-topic, the first time I was aware of polarisation error was 
during the very first trans-Atlantic TV tests.  On the first night, 
signals were fine in France (who had a copy of the US antenna), but poor 
in the UK who had designed and built their own antenna).  UK changed 
polarisation for the next night and signals were then fine.  All this live 
on public TV (when everyone watched, and there we're 500 poor-quality 
channels vying for your attention).
