I have tried to work the L/V configuration anytime\nit is active, whether I am home or away from home. I have worked\napproximately\n20 different stations over this time. Most of the time, I have used a\n5-element\nComet CY-1205 Yagi with my Alinco DJ-G7T HT for my 1.2 GHz uplink.\nSometimes,\nI go with a Chinese-made 10-element Yagi I ordered from an eBay seller.\n\n>From working different stations across the country, it seems like other\nstations\nI work are using larger antennas than mine - maybe the same 10-element Yagi\nI\nuse, the 16-element Comet CYA-1216E Yagi, Yagis with more than 16 elements,\nor\nsome have used a helix. My question is this: other than the HT duckies used\nby\na couple of stations early on, does anyone besides me use an antenna\nsmaller\nthan a 10-element Yagi to work AO-92 L/V? If so, what are you using? I am\nnot\nso concerned about transmitter power, as there are a few of us using HTs\nwith\n1W output on the 1.2 GHz band, and we are able to work AO-92 at that power\nlevel.\n\nA comment about the AO-92 pass around 1625 UTC this morning...\n\nThis was not a high pass out here in Arizona, with maximum elevation around\n13\ndegrees to the east. I have worked stations to the east around this\nelevation\nin the past, so I went out to try for more contacts. Near the midpoint of\nthe\npass here, I heard a station make 2 long CQ calls on the pass. There should\nbe\nno need to make CQ calls, let alone long CQ calls, on any FM satellite. The\n145.880 MHz AO-92 downlink is easy to hear. There are ample opportunities\nto\nget this set up, by working other AO-92 passes in the normal U/V\nconfiguration.\nIf the issue is getting the uplink frequency and/or antenna aligned with\nthe\nsatellite, full-duplex operation should ensure that there is no need for a\nlong transmission to be heard through the satellite.\n\nIf you want to hear the audio I recorded from this pass, it is in my Dropbox\nspace at http://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/ . Look in the Satellite_Audio-2018\nfolder,\nand find the MP3 file with the name starting with \"20180527-1626UTC47\" for\nthe\nrecording.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\nTwitter: @WD9EWK or http://twitter.com/WD9EWK\n", "attachments": [] }
