After having been off the satellites for a while due to life stuff, I am almost ready to get back on again, I hope. I have a little space on the mast under my miniquad where I can mount a small dualband end mounted yagi. I have been looking at the Jetstream 2m/70cm since it is cheapest and should fit there fine. It has 3 elements on 2m and 5 elements on 70cm. Will that good enough on the satellites? I have used a Cushcraft 5/5 dualband yagi before with good results.
I hope in another year or so to have the parent's estate finally settled and money for a real satellite station again, but am hoping this will do in the meantime. Anyone else tried a yagi this size?
