[amsat-bb] Re: TS2000 on dualband antenna (for sat work)

[PA3GUO]

Thanks David !

My vertical did not pick up AO51 at all, so the experiment
could not be done here. Using my beams all was fine of course.

Funny, I knew this stacked vertical dual band only picks up
signals at low elevation (<10 degrees), at many cubesats (70cm)
and ISS (2 mtrs). But I never experienced only very noisy signals
like this morning from AO51. Nothing wrong with AO51, maybe
with my vertical. 

Anyway - was a good trigger to be on AO51 again, made 1 QSO
and listened to many other European stations making contacts.
