I¡¯d love to put together one of your nifty az-el setups for my Arrow, Eddie! ?I¡¯m slowly putting together (= thinking darn seriously about!) a satellite station. I used to work the FM Birds back in the day.?
Maybe I can put one together in parallel with Eric.?

I used my 9100 with a vertical tri-band antenna. I have heard the birds before but could never get the rig to cooperate to get the split just right. I finally got my ducks in a row and it worked. I have tracked a few others and will play with the SSB birds between now and FD.

I have one of the arrow antennas but don¡¯t think that I can talk Rhoda into standing out in the yard pointing it in the direction I called out ?. I guess I need to find someone to put together a AZ-EL controller¡¡

Way to go Eric!! ?What radio/antenna are you using?

I finally managed to make a satellite contact today through ISS. Now I need to check the passes during field day.?
