I have made many contacts in the\npast two years with an Arrow antenna (hand driven) and an IC-910 (manual\nDoppler correction.) With a little practice, it's really not difficult.\nThe trick is to practice, practice, practice. Y\n\nOver the weekend I made contacts on all the active satellites with no PC,\nno rotor, and no big arrays. Sure, Field Day will be a little more\ndifficult. Be prepared. Pick your passes wisely. If you're on the East\nCoast don't pick a pass centered over North America. Choose one out over\nthe Atlantic so that less stations will be in the footprint.\n\nLast year, I snuck onto SO-50 in the middle of the night with nothing but\nan Arrow and ten watts. I'm not sure it'll be so easy this year\nconsidering that the recently published QST article will draw some fresh\nblood.\n\nI'm glad this is getting discussed now. Maybe more stations will decide to\ndust off the gear and try contacts now rather than \"wing it\" for their 100\nbonus points.\n\nI am a firm believer in the KISS principle and also \"Train for how you will\noperate; operate how you train.\"\n\n73\nClayton\nW5PFG\n\n\nOn Tue, May 28, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Bill (W1PA) <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Let me ask this another way...\n>\n> Assuming minimal setup prior to each pass, can I track a LEO with a single\n> rotor well enough for QSO’s?
