[amsat-bb] Re: DX LEO records, fixed elevation category

Dear friends,

here is my best LEO contacts made by using no elevation on 2 yagi antennas. Antennas used:

12 el. 3wl for Vhf H pol. 21 el. 6wl for Uhf H pol.

IZ1EGT (JN44LK) -> VA3DB (FN25DI) 03/01/2005 FO29 J CW qrb 6343 km.

Sincerely I found that elevation is not needed on Vhf while it increases drastically sigs in Uhf.

Best 73s Fabio

IZ1EGT / F5VKV
