Antenna for the new HAMSAT?
Is anybody on this newsgroup using the new (Indian) Hamsat? I've been
listening to it while mobile with an M^2 Ho Loop antenna and hear it
quite well. Haven't tried to uplink through it yet. Would a linear
Yagi on each band be OK? There isn't much info on this new bird yet.
Just wondering if it is using circular polarization or linear or what.
I would like to try a QSO through it for Field Day. Maybe a regular old
Yagi (or Quagi since I have one for 432) mounted on a makeshift az-el
setup and put the 2M and 70 cm antennas at right angles to each other to
cut down on the 432 getting to the 2M receiver and overloading it? Ideas???
