I\"m looking forward to this.\n\nAs I'm designing my antenna system, I'm noticing a critical thing - the LEO\nsats provide an excellent opportunity to experiment with fixed-elevation\nantennas. It seems as though once you get a nice 4-6 element yagi above the\nroof at 25-30 degrees, it covers something like 97% of visible pass time.\n\nAs soon as my stock of aluminum rod and rotator come in, it's fun time :)\n\nMatt\n\nOn 3/8/07, Bruce Robertson <[email protected]> wrote:\n>\n> Many of us have been encouraging the newcomers to this list to avoid\n> elevation rotors if they want to begin with a simple, less expensive\n> station.
