I used them with preamps mounted on a 10 foot piece of PVC for a couple years. Not the greatest, but still made enough contacts to stay interested. I also used an Arrow on a camera tripod roughly pointed toward the max elevation azimuth on some low passes where the M2 loops didn't perform as well.

I have a set of M2 loops antennas for 2 meters & 70cm and from reading their website they state that they are good LEO antennas. So I was wondering what the consensus is from anyone that has tried them.
I understand that they won't be as good as a CP beam setup on a az/el rotator, but since I have nothing up as of yet hoping they will at least let me get started, was also hoping to use them for a mobile satellite setup as well...
