I guess the antenna main lobe was directed at me \nand when the satelllite passed my TCA point the main lobe was not directed at me.\n\nHalf the pass was very good and the other extremely weak i'm using a 14 elem cross yagi stuck in right hand polarisation i know a 3DB \ndifference due to polarisation change on a yagi but much more when using the wrong polarisation. This old KLM 2M 14C suffer numerous \nwinters 2 crash down and the relay and the relay board where broken up to a point of no repair the only one solution is to make two \nseparate antenna. I someone used to modified on of theses old beam it will be interesting to know what the impedance is at the end of the 2 \n 4 to 1 balun? It will be nice if it will be 52ohms! But i guess it is 100 ohms as the 2 balun line are tied to a SO-239 connector.?\n\nThe audio quality is nearly as good as FO-29 by the way nice sat to experiment with.\n\n\"-\"\n\n\nLuc Leblanc VE2DWE\nSkype VE2DWE\nwww.qsl.net/ve2dwe\nWAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE\n\n \n\n",
