Very good signals for all on the downlink most of the pass, however my uplink on 1.267-GHz is heavily affected by trees, the fact I operate from inside my home from the 2nd floor, and I was arm-stronging the cheap yagi whilst twisting for polarization!.  Great to hear Angelo, Carmen, Clare, and Mike.  Thanks for calling me back in the group.  A very cool mode that works very well.\n> \n> 73, JIm (N8OQ ex KG4QWC)\n\nWhat are you using for the uplink transmitter?  I haven't tried L or S\nyet, mostly due to lack of equipment.  It's on my list though...\n\nI had pretty good results with 2m/70cm using two \"cheap yagis\" made up\non a bit of inch-by-three-quarter, with a 5-ele 70cm \"half\" with\nelements made of brazing rod, and a 3-ele 2m \"half\" with the reflector\nand director made of ally tubing and the driven element made of kunifer\nhydraulic pipe!  It took about an hour to build.  On the 2m side I was\nusing my Kenwood TH-F7 and a Jingtong JT-308 for receiving.  \"But\nGordon\", the more experienced amsatters all cry, \"the Kenwood is a\ndual-bander, you only need that!\" - Yes, and that's what I bought it\nfor.  I just haven't built the diplexer yet ;-)  For a 15 quid cheapy\nChinese radio from eBay the Jingtong is incredibly sensitive - so much\nso that it's practically useless in my back garden in town with all the\nSCADA and such tromping up and down the band.  Up north where it's quiet\nI could hear AO-51 right down to the horizon on 70cm with a K5OE\n3-element yagi.\n\nI'm amazed how easy it's been to get started.  With a couple of cheap\ntransceivers (Jingtong do an equally cheap 2m version, which I bet would\nwork just as well) and a simple homebrew antenna, you can talk to\nsatellites.\n\nSo there you are - I've had my licence a week and a half, and I've\nalready notched up two contacts on SO-50, one on AO-51 and I've heard\nAO-7 (which just seems incredible to me, nearly as old as I am and still\nflying).  Not bad I think.\n\nGordon MM3YEQ, in glorious sunny Glasgow.\n\n(and it *is* sunny just now, I'm off to play with aerials)\n\n",
