[amsat-bb] ARRL Antenna book, eggbeater antenna designs

[Chuck Swiger]

I am happy with the moxon - uhf pretty small and wiring can be challenging
with the phasing and matching lines. My uhf has a mast mount preamp, vhf
just 30 ft coax and rtl-sdr at Max gain. Could be better but all I want to
invest at first. QFH are highly recommended and you can see then on old
videos of the lunar lander :).   Satnogs stations 142 and 216.
