It \nalso helps you out on transmit, so you get \"double-duty\" out of \nantenna system upgrades.\n\n(One can always look at some of the papers from organizations like the \nSoutheastern VHF Society, from weak signal VHF terrestrial \nenthusiasts, especially \"rover\" stations in this particular case to \nsee the math to engineer the \"best\" system one can for mobile weak- \nsignal operations, since that's all Satellite work really is... weak- \nsignal operating with a need to point the antenna more critically and \nmore often, in both a horizontal and vertical plane, and different \noperating techniques. At the end of the day, other than Doppler \nshift, the RF physics are the same.)\n\n--\nNate Duehr, WY0X\[email protected]\n\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
