A useful idea if the station uses elliptical polarization also.

http://www.rabbitears.info/oddsanden...ization&type=E

With circular polarization, equal power is available in the horizontal and vertical plane. With elliptical polarization, the amount of power radiated in the horizontal plane is usually greater than in the vertical. rabbitears is kind enough to publish the values for each station in their database.
