Hi Everyone,
I was contacted by a local ham recently who'd like to find a good home for a sat antenna currently located at their emergency comms site. The antenna appears to be a M-Squared 149T-CP14 circular polarized antenna. It has the following measured specs: Boom 118” (9’ 10”), Driven elements (2): about 37.5”, Reflectors (2): about 39”, Other Elements – range about 35 to 34”. The spec sheet for this antenna indicates it has 10.3 dBi gain and a frequency range of 148-150 MHz (yes, this is outside the 2m ham band).

It's been at a fixed az/el position on an office bldg roof for a while but is reportedly in great shape. They don't use the antenna anymore, so he'd like to know whether anyone in the satellite community would be interested in this one. Contact me off-list if you're interested and I'll put you in touch!

Hi Dave, KB5WIA
The above antenna 149T-CP14 has been designed for the ATS Advance Technological Satellite use into the band 148-150 MHz and so of no interest for the Amateur Radio Satellites.
