Re: [amsat-bb] Ultra portable AO-40 RX system

["William Leijenaar" <pe1rah@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi AMSATs,

I have been trying many kinds of ultra portable antenna systems, and for 
AO40 13cm downlink the best I have is my foldable dish. It is ultra light 
and very effective.

A helix is not very easy to transport without damaging it, with a dish you 
need only a little antenna, like a patch. A solid dish is also not very 
portable and heavy, so I found the solution in changing the solid heavy 
thing in something flexible and leight weight. :-)

On my web-page I have some pictures of my experiments and tests...
