I was \n> able to work AO-40 at apogee with it. Definitely a nice system.\n>\n> How big is your dish? I've not seen a Grill antenna much bigger than the \n> one I currently have, and I'm told it's not big enough for 1.2 ghz (only \n> 30\"). Supposed to need at least 4'. So instead I built a helix for that \n> band and did some L/S and L/U through AO-51. Then I found a commercial \n> long boom 1.2 ghz yagi at another Ham Swap (gotta keep me away from \n> those!), and replaced the Helix. But, you know, I don't think the new \n> antenna improved things. Mechanically, yes, but not RF. The Beacon off \n> to the West is about the same on either one.\n>\n> Given the lack of S-band on the current birds, I was thinking about taking \n> down the Grill for a while, just to lighten the load on the rotor motors. \n> Maybe put up a Wi-Fi flat panel, just to keep the band open. But if I can \n> get both 1.2 and 2.4 out of the Grill instead, might that be better?\n>\n> Greg KO6TH\n>\n>\n>> From: [email protected]\n>> To: [email protected]; [email protected]\n>> Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] Re: 70cm Helicoil Good/Bad expensive?\n>> Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 21:26:17 -0700\n>>\n>> Greg,\n>> Do not overlook the 2.4 GHz grid dishes.
