At w0wtn we did circular for VHF and UHF in 2005.\n\nThere is a picture of the setup here:\nhttp://www.w0wtn.org/img_browse.php?i=/images/field_day_2005/KK0SD_Sat_Ant.j\npg\n\nI took the phasing info straight from the Satellite Experimenter's Handbook.\n\nYou might notice the S Band cavity backed Helix as well :-)\n\n\n73,\nJoe kk0sd\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of N0JY\nSent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 5:03 PM\nTo: AMSAT-BB\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Mount an Arrow on rotator with 2m vertical or\nhorizontal\n\nI did it at field day last year, a couple of Arrow antennas with the 2 meter\nside set up for RHCP. Seemed to work real well on the analog birds.\nSome 75 ohm coax does the matching, see a picture at\nhttp://www.n0jy.org/images/IMG_20120623_215906.jpg\nThe picture was taken at night, so look closely and you'll see a 1/4 wave 75\nohm section at the tee to both sides, the right side directly to the antenna\nand the left side to another 1/4 wave 50 ohm section connected to the\nantenna.\nCredit goes to SV1BSX I got the idea from his web site\nhttp://sv1bsx.50webs.com/antenna-pol/polarization.html\n\nJerry\nN0JY\n\nOn 4/16/2013 1:31 PM, Douglas Phelps wrote:\n> Any reason why, using identical coax lengths, you could not transform the\n> impedance to 100 ohms and then use a T connector to sum both antenna\nsignals and\n> achieve 50 ohms to the radio?
