Has anyone tried using the MFJ 1763 3 element portable 2m beam on the satellites? Details on it can be found at:I realize this is not rated as a dualband beam, but many 2m beams do work (or at least load up) on 70cm as well. I used one of these 30 years ago in a VHF contest, and it seems like it would be very easy to travel with. The boom is about 2 feet long and the elements just screw into the boom. Takes about 30 seconds to set up and should be able to be hand held. Probably not as good as an Arrow dualband yagi, but easier to transport and set up also.So, anyone have experience with this antenna?73 John AF5CCSent using Zoho Mail
