Re: [amsat-bb] omnis for sat work?

I have a 4 way antenna switch with a 65ft tower mounted yagi and vertical, a vertical right over the shack feed with hardline and 8ft pole with a very old yagi and tv rotator and the yagi on the nearby pole beats them all every time to hear the sats. http://valleymedia.org/satchat/ham_sat_chatroom_antenna_review_-vhf-uhf-L-ba...

As was stated multiple times in a very recent thread - omnis for sat work are a poor compromise!!    Even a small beam at a 15-degree angle will generally blow most omnis off the roof!
