[amsat-bb] Re: Is anyone using a discone antenna for AMSAT work?

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

I have a Diamond discone that I use for a local and repeater antenna. Other 
than the occasional use as a 2nd uplink on the FM satellites, it really 
isn't useful for much on satellite. There just isn't enough gain there in my 
opinion.
