[amsat-bb] Re: Homebrew Elk-style 14/435 mhz log periodic for sats?

Bill and all,

Joe is right. F2IL gave me a 569 report on AO-7 Mode B Thursday evening - and I was hand-holding my Elk on the second floor of my house, pointing it to the northeast at a spot on a windowless wall. When we worked, AO-7 was at roughly 3.5 degrees elevation here.

I wish I had decided to try these low-angle passes months ago!

73 to all,

Tim - N3TL
