But some of us live in covenant restricted settings and an omni is much easier to sneak in under the radar. I have switched back and forth between eggbeaters and various verticals. So far 88 grids. Three points:\n\n1) Pay attention to ERP. You are going to need a little more uplink power to make up for the lack of Tx antenna gain.\n2) Always, always use a preamp at the antenna on 435 down links\n3) Be patient. This is a compromise solution and you are not going to knock them down every pass.\n\nIf it is all you can do go ahead. Better to be on the air working the birds as best you can than doing nothing at all.\n\nJohn\n\nSent from my Verizon Motorola Smartphone\nOn May 11, 2019 00:34, Jeff Moore via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]> wrote:\n>\n> As was stated multiple times in a very recent thread - omnis for sat work \n> are a poor compromise!!
