[amsat-bb] Re: Cubex antennas- any feedback?

[Rocky Jones]

Not used them on the birds (yet) but the club uses them as "links"to some of our remote APRS and receiver sites and they work great.   We have used them both ways (transmit on one band and RX on the other) ...we had to put a filter on one 2 meter receive link but that had more to do with a business band system honking away at lots of watts then desense from the 70cm.  Well built, they lasted unscathed through Ike.
