I have been unsuccessfully trying to hear AO51 over the last week with my mobile rig (Icom IC2720 with a Comet C767 dual band antenna mounted to the rear hatchback with a Comet CP-5M mount).
Since I am able to transmit and receive on our local repeaters, I'm guessing that the issue is with my antenna. I've been using the online AMSAT satellite pass predictions to predict passes I try to listen to.
Can anyone recommend an antenna I could use with the above mount to improve my satellite reception? I'll settle for reception at the moment. I have a 2m handheld (Icom T-22A) that I've been thinking of using for transmit. I'm thinking of adding a Arrow antenna for this.
I'm not that knowledgeable with regard to antennas currently, so specific models would be helpful.
Thanks,
Kent
