    "content": "Might I suggest you look up the WA5VJB \"Cheap Yagi\" antennas. An Arrow or an Elk is certainly a nice solution but there are other ways. I built my base station antennas based on these designs and many have built handheld antennas like them as well.\n73,\nMichael, W4HIJ\nMessage: 7\nDate: Sun, 19 Jul 2020 00:37:57 +0100\nFrom: Oscar Acton<[email protected]>\nTo:[email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Amsat - SOTA\nMessage-ID:\n\t<CABY8qs+p_2UMi-jbRcX9N+kOr6j=9nPZr3SqrgsKDpVXHhX2hg@mail.gmail.com>\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n\nHello,\n\nI am new to satellite operations. I tried to access Lilacsat2 from a SOTA\nsummit today and failed. I did manage to call into AO-92 yesterday and I\nwas heard by four stations (but I couldn't receive the downlink).\n\nI was using a 2m dipole to transmit (I am fairly confident I was getting\ninto the satellite today) and a 2 element 70cm yagi. Now, I think two\nthings went wrong. Firstly, I had no way of directing the antenna\naccurately (I had to guess on the angle and azimuth), and secondly, the\nantenna isn't very powerful, is small and isn't tuned brilliantly (it's a\n70cm yagi but I get SWR of 2.2 on 70cm).\n\nFirstly, I'm wondering how precise you need to be in directing the beam?\nCan I just hold it in the vague direction that the satellite is approaching\nfrom, or do I need to work out the headings?\n\nSecondly, I am wondering if my equipment is likely to cut it. As I said,\nyesterday I was told that my signal was getting in - quiet but fully\nreadable using my Diamond x30. I don't want to transmit if I can't receive\nin case I talk over someone or cause some interference. I won't be able to\nbuy an arrow or a powerful beam antenna for around a year, but I am really\ndesperate to work the satellites. Wondering if there are any ways that I\ncan use my current equipment in order to work it (whether that be from my\nHome QTH or from a SOTA summit).\n\nI have:\nYaesu FT-2980 (2m only, limited to 10 watts)\nAnytone 868 (8 watts max)\nBaofeng GT-3TP (8 watts max)\n2 ele 70cm yagi\n2m dipole\ndiamond x50 collinear at the Home QTH\n\nHoping for some advice.. I would love to hear stories of you working\nsatellites during a Summits On The Air activation, and I would be\ninterested to hear of your station setup (and whether you have had success\nwith a minimal setup like mine).\n\nBest Regards,\n\nOscar M7OJA (IO94HT)\n\n",
