[amsat-bb] Re: Fold Away Antenna in OSSI Ground Station

Pretty darn ingeneous packaging!  Hams, unlike university students, all have fat fingers and would struggle to extract that 3-part antenna boom.  I like the fabric roll-up concept, but wonder if it would present wind-load problems in a real-world field application?

I liked the fold away yagi antenna in this video of the OSSI ground station.
