Hi Dave

Would you consider building a scale model of this array to allow a
polar orbiting satellite to be the illuminator?

It's not really practical to do that for various reasons. The structure is
not a nice conventional antenna that can be scaled up/down size.

I get some pretty good radiation pattern plots at VHF, using Patrik
Tast's SignalPlotter program and NOAA satellites.

That's a concept I have not heard of before. But for me to work at VHF,
I'd need to make the structure larger by a factor of 10, so it would be
several hundred metres long.

Hi Dave

You are not restricted to VHF. It is possible that there is a polar
orbiting satellite transmitting continuously on the frequency you are
interested in. NOAA satellites transmit continuously at about half the
frequency range you refer to.
