    "content": "Ron,\n\nBeen there, Done that.  I am using a Directive Systems Looper antenna for \n1.2 GHz.  With the setup I have, I chose a 6 foot long version with a 30 \ndegree beamwidth rather than the 12 foot long antenna.  It works quite well \nwhen AO-51 is put in L/U mode as was done several months back for channel B. \nYou can check out my satellite antenna setup on QRZ.\n\nI am using the IC-910 with the 1.2 GHz module.  Works great.  Figure about \nhalf of your output will ever reach the antenna.  I selected Belden 9913F7 \nultraflex cable which is ideal for my installation.  Keep the runs as short \nas possible.  Probably better, if it works for you, would be LMR-400 or 600 \nor hardline.\n\nFor a given length CP Yagi, the gain of the antenna is going to increase as \nthe frequency increases (more elements, etc) and beamwidth of the antenna is \ngoing to become more narrow.  So pointing the antenna accurately becomes a \nmore significant  factor.  It's time to go out and buy the elevation rotor. \nYou'll find that it is worth every penny you put into it.  A beamwidth of 30 \ndegrees on 1.2 GHz gives the half power points as 15 degrees either side of \nthe antenna position.  You don't really want to be 15 degrees off.  You want \nto keep the satellite well within the main lobe of the antenna.  At 1.2 GHz, \nstarting with 10 watts, figure half of that gets to the antenna.  You don't \nwant to throw away half or all of what's left because the antenna isn't \npointed at the satellite.  Elevation control will also reduce your power \nrequirements on all of your uplinks.\n\nDate: Sun, 11 May 2008 20:49:23 -0500\nFrom: Ronald Nutter <[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb]  Suggestions for Mode L antenna\nTo: [email protected]\nMessage-ID: <[email protected]>\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed\n\nI am considering purchasing the 1.2 ghz module for my IC-910H.  For my\nsatellite work, I have my antennas angled at about 20 degrees since I\ndont have an az/el rotor.  This setup worked reasonably well with Mode S\nthis weekend.  What are my chances to be able to work Mode L with this\nkind of setup ?  Also, I would appreciate any suggestions for an antenna\nthat I could use.  With only 10 watts, I am not expecting a great signal\nbut I would hope to have at least a readable signal.  Also, would\nappreciate any suggestions as to coax/feedline that I should look at\nbuying ?\n\nThanks,\n\nRon\nKA4KYI\n\n",
