RE: [amsat-bb] AO-51 reception with Handy Tranceiver

["Scott Avery WA6LIE" <wa6lie@xxxxxxx>]

Asao,

I used my FT-530 HT with stock rubber duck, BUT used a tin pan as a 
reflector.
This was on the 1800 UTC pass over USA on Sunday.
Aluminum foil inside a newspaper used as a corner reflector should work a 
bit better!
Good Luck!
