Ron, I have made a quad loop and installed it just in front of the 2.4 GHz feed in a Grill type dish. It has about 18 dBi at 1.2 GHz. ( dish rated for 24 dBi @ 2.4 GHz) I have used this combination for ATV in So California aera for several years and no reason why it won't work for AO-51. Good encouragement for LS mode on a single antenna!

I am thinking about putting in a 1.2 Ghz module in m IC910H. That has me looking at Mode L antennas. Until my browser blew up a few weeks ago, I had severa links to antenna candidates but have lost those now. Would appreciate any links to antennas that are usable with AO-51 and maybe the phase 3 birds when they launch.
Thanks, Ron KA4KYI _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program! Subscription settings: http://amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/amsat-bb
