[amsat-bb] An V/U antenna for LEOs?

["Miguel A. Vallejo" <ea4eoz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

After almost 8 years since my last contact via satellite, I'm trying to
back again to this world. I've been listening with a walkie and rubber
duckie antenna some UO-14 and UO-11 pases and surprisingly, the signal
was really great!.

Now I look for an aerial, that permits me to work these LEOs (SO-35,
UO-14, FO-20, FO-29, etc) with a 50 watts dual band multimode rig... I
tried to test a egg-beater antenna, but I'm unable to find the RG-62
cable... Will a low gain vertical do the job? O:-)

How do you work these sats? Please, feel free to write at my own address
with your antena set-up and the performance you got with it... I need
some ideas!

Thanks in advance!
