The Smiley is a tri-band, but with specific whip extensions for specific bands. The 70 CM and the 2M lengths are different so there will be a compromise on the band that is not the band the antenna is set up for. I would probably have to make a decision as to whether to set this type of antenna for the RX band or the TX band. Resonance on TX means more power transferred to the antenna. Resonance on the RX band means better reception at the expense of RF out (Radio power foldback if SWR is too high).\nClint, you are missing a very good, easy to build dual band Yagi by Kent Britain, WA5VJB.

It has been used successfully on satellites, though preferably in a quiet location such as a ship. I have a BNC version which I used very briefly years ago on some early morning passes. Amazon and eBay have versions with an SMA connector. Of course, the usual caveats about clones apply.\n\n \n\n73,\n\n \n\nAlan\n\nWA4SCA\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\nFrom: JOHN GEIGER via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]> \nSent: Sunday, April 21, 2024 13:26\nTo: amsat-bb <[email protected]>\nSubject: [AMSAT-BB] HT Whip recommendations\n\n \n\nI am trying to set up an ultra-portable FM satellite station-something that can be used pedestrian mobile, and something that will fit into a school size backpack for airline travel. Have the HT already-a 10 watt TIDRADIO HT and have made a couple of satellite QSOs using its stock rubber duck. \n\n \n\nI bought a Nagoya 771R telescoping version of their 771 antenna (which everyone raves about) but it doesn't hear the Mode J satellites well. The stock rubber duck hears them better. The antenna is supposed to be a 5/8 wave on 70cm, maybe that is the problem.\n\n \n\nAny recommendation on HT antennas people have been using on the satellites with success? It needs to be a whip type antenna-not a yagi that breaks down for transportation. I realize this is a very limited setup, but it is better than being QRT in some circumstances.\n\n \n\n73 John AF5CC\n\n \n\nSent using Zoho Mail\n\n \n\n \n\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nSent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.
