I've seen the little 70cm QFH's with a radome anyway...so it would only be a matter of scale. \n\nIf the folks would let you put up an FM antenna (ie a yagi) then one could easily take a radio shack version convert it to 2 meters and add 440 to it...it would look like a regular antenna except for the short time you were elevating it for use. \n\nWhatever you come up with...well be sure and take some pictures and share it.\n\nRobert WB5MZO\n\n> From: [email protected]\n> Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:03:03 -0500\n> To: [email protected]\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Stealth Satellite Station?\n> \n> I currently live in a rental house and an outside antenna is out of the\n> question.

Going out to my car and working the FM birds with my Icom 2720H and 19\"\n> whip.\n> 2. Working the FM birds from the back/front yard or possibly inside the\n> house with my Icom W32A and Elk LP antenna.\n> 3. Setting up my 2720 in the house with some sort of stealth antenna and\n> give a try at satellite APRS.\n> \n> Obviously options 1 and 3 still allow for option 2.\n> \n> Has anyone tried any form of stealth antenna for Satellites. I am really\n> interested in the idea of combining the satellites and aprs together.\n> \n> -- \n> Kent R Frazier, K5KNT\n> AMSAT #36765, ARRL, San Angelo Amateur Radio Club, Tom Green County - ARES\n> \n> Sent from San Angelo, TX, United States\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
