[amsat-bb] Beginner Sat's Leo's - Ask advise.

Hello FM,

 

I’m new to Sat work and at the moment I’m only with handheld.

 

I use Alaska Arrow on 3pod with Kenwood TH-D72 Radio, works well, I also have the LP145435HH from Anjo Antenna it’s smaller, good reception, but not able to make qso yet.

 

I work AO-85 / AO-91 / AO-92 / SO-50 / ISS (not yet tried)

 

Waiting for Diwata2 and some other, I think.

 

I want to install some simple antennas at my home QTH, I have not the possibility to go for a rotatable solution. (AZ/EL) not possible.

 

I can put the antennas on my mast 10m high and 80m above sea level, very good takeoff all directions.

 

What would be the best solution to work the birds ?

 

I read a lot Turnstile antenna / Eggbeater/ others …. I know it a compromise but it’s better to sit in the shack than in the rain or cold outside 😊

 

Thanks in advance for your info on this subject.
