[amsat-bb] HF-HF satellite

[George Henry]

Mine was a set of Drake B-line twins (R-4B, T-4XB) with the Drake 2-meter 
TC-2 transmit converter for Mode A (I also had the 2-meter downconverter and 
console). The twins worked great for Mode K on RS-12/13 half-duplex, as 
well.  Homemade turnstile for the 2-meter uplink, fan dipole in the garage 
attic for HF.  Pass predictions printed out with InstantTrack.


George, KA3HSW
