New Satellites antennas Setup


Sweat to make the antennas .. Finally, Ready to chasing satellites. 1st tests conclusive on 2m/70cm.. 23cm later !
2m cross Yagi and the helix gave me a lot of mods, settings and mechanics, finally it's over!
Seems to work fine. Contacted easily couple of satellites. 1st longs distances was on AO-7 mode B with:
- PT2AP grid square GH51JO at 6822 km. 06 April 2018
- PY2LN, grid square GG66PK at 6326 km. 20 May 2018

Will see to add somes preamp. and connect to test the 23cm yagi's soon.
