[amsat-bb] Flat Planar antenna

["Antonio" <antonio.fernandez@xxxxxxx>]

This afternoon at 1830 UTC I made an RX test with a flat planar antenna from
those used also in WaveLAN,etc..The antenna used was a WIMO PA-13R-20 with a
18dbD gain showed in manual.
I had references of this antenna through my friend Pedro (EB4DKA) which used
it on mobile operation with success.
Really it works!!!.Enough for a mobile/portable operation.Lightweight,easy
to transport.....nice°.
Nice signals with reasonable squint angles and running QSO,s plus beacon was
listened perfectly with signals rounding S7 for beacon at peaks and many
QSO¥s with 3-5 signals or even more.
Using here usually a base station..it was a nice change listening at mobile
amd  also in portable.A different point of view..

I used a Kuhne MKU-24-TM downconverter into a Yaesu FT-100D as receiver into
my car.

Next step is uplink..
Wimo page is www.wimo.com
By the way.. I don¥t have a ny type of comemrcial relation or benefit with
WIMO.
Just information for interested hams..
