Re: [amsat-bb] Echo totally unuesable on an Arrow

[Emily Clarke <w0eec@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Keith,

I don't know what to say.  I was demonstrating Echo yesterday for some 
friends who drove down from the city and we were on my back balcony (I live 
in a townhouse).  I made a contact on stock W32A with an AL-800 whip 
antenna when the satellite was at 60 degrees of elevation, and another 
using the Arrow at 15 degrees.  Aruni VE4WMK has also been making contacts 
using an Arrow and a W32A as well.

73,

Emily
