Matt,
Try Kent Britain's (WA5VJB) Site. I made my 144/435 Antenna from his plans for under $20.00. Works like a charm & easy to build.
He's got plans for various bands including 1296Mhz. A good resource.

Hi,
Thanks to everyone for all of your responses. It looks like I have found a downconverter. Next question... Does anyone have any ideas on a cheap and easy homebrew antenna? Would a "cantenna" work for a small portable setup? I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible as AO-51 isn't in this mode very often.
