Yes, Omni antenna in 70cm is my head ache now, no rotor yet (arduino is 
on his way...)

I just build a QFH + 10dB preamp on the mast and a RTL...  testing it yet.

I can copy FO-29 (Beacon and transponder), SO-67 beacon, just heard 
xatcobeo with short carrier by times...

Al this above 30 degrees of elevation...  below 30 degrees nothing... hi 
hi hi..

SO-50 is a no go even in a 70 degrees pass...

I'm evaluating the parasit lidenblad or the turnstile moxons... any 
advice based on practice on this two and against QFH? better? worse? the 
same?

73, CO7WT.
