[amsat-bb] Help with Yaesu FT-736r

[KD4ZGW]

Special thanks to Steve NS3L, I was able to listen to AO-73 for a short 
period of time (You were right, Steve, about the "drifting" on AO-73) 
and was able to change the frequencies. This leads me to my next question:

All I am operating on is a 2 Meter / 70 CM ground plane (Which does not 
do great at all except at low elevation.). Anyway, I still have my 
Moxon's that I built when I was doing rover. They did alright, but 
still, when the sat got to a certain elevation; I could not hear 
anything.  Here is the million dollar question: Will a "turnstile" 
antenna for the sat's work better than the Moxon's?
