    "content": "I've used what I had on hand, a FT7900 and a dual band mobile Diamond antenna, both items I've had to operate from my car for 10 years.  I have built an eggbeater for both bands and the fading on high passes went away but it just wasn't very efficient and I went back to the mobile antenna.  The 1/2 wave design doesn't need a ground plane, it works about the same with or without radials.\nOne thing I'm contemplating is a easy to adjust angle mount so I can be close to a right angle on different elevation passes.  Not sure exactly how I'll do that but it may help and I would not need to point a beam.  \nA tripod if you use a directional antenna can help.  Even a light weight antenna can get heavy for 15 minutes and if it's windy....\nThere is a zoom presentation available on this topic, a link is provided in other amsat-bb messages.  \nIn general, get the frequencies and pl tone set in your rig and listen.  Late night passes are often easier to start operating with less competition.  I've had pass with only 2 other stations and then others where no one hears me at all.  Don't get discouraged, there will be a pass where everyone calls you one after another.  I've had a pass with 6 contacts - once in a while you find several stations that need your grid and you knock them off in short order.\n\nRusty, WA8ZID",
