That combination was adequate provided the\nsatellite was at a higher elevation and the downlink was strong and\nclear.\n\nOne drawback, however, was that I had to rotate my radio in order to\nhear the signal during a pass but that also meant that it affected my\nuplink.  There were a lot of exchanges along the lines of \"Huh?\" and\n\"What did you say?\" during those contacts.  I'm sure I missed a lot of\npotential QSLs because of that.\n\nThose limitations alone persuaded me to get my Arrow Yagi.\n\n73s\n\nBernhard VA6BMJ @ DO33FL\n\n<snip>\n\n",
