[amsat-bb] Re: Dual Band (144/430) antenna.

[Fabiano Moser]

Hello Juan,

Do not expect much from a vertical antena for sattelite, I had made some few
QSO via ISS only and could not listen well other sattelites.

But if you really want to try I can suggest the Dualband COMET GP-9N 3x5/8
wave lenght antena.
8,5db gain VHF and 12dbi gain UHF. Is a very good antenna, good quality
and low SWR.

Better you choose twice Eggbeaters V and U for sattelites.
