Re: [amsat-bb] Apathy?

[Jerry Weihrauch <k0hzi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have lots of time, a nice rig TS-2000, however I can not put up ANY 
antennas outside.  Live in a senior building run by the local HRA.  
Tried a four element two meter beam though double pane window glass, 
just barely hear ISS and once and a great while PCSAT2.  But have 
purchased a Kenwood TH-7AG.  I go outside on passes for ISS, and PCSAT2, 
and PCSAT.  Have made connection with all three using the 17 inch Comet 
SM-24 whip and HT placed on the roof of my car.  I will not install the 
TS-2000 in my car, it would get ripped off as soon as I blinked. Soon 
the snow will fly, and the cold air, won't be out on days that are 
freezing and low wind chill temps.
