Re: [amsat-bb] Need help with FO20 and FO29

["Dave Barrows" <dbarrows@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howard,

Thanks for your remarks.

My 2m Yagi is pointed at the horizon.  I need it that way to work a particularly hard of hearing repeater.  The eggbeaters are eggbeater II design by K5OE pointed straight up, not like Jerry's Texas Potato Mashers on a rotator.

It looks like I need to stick with cw on the FO birds until I can get dedicated satellite antennas on al/el rotors and a better rig.  At least with cw I can still make some contacts and learn how to deal with the doppler.

73,
Dave W8IJ
