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...
Jacob, They will work, but understand that you will be dealing with a VERY WEAK signal. In my opinion, not the best for a starter antenna. An experienced operator who knows what they are getting into, and is willing (or desiring) the extra challenge can do fine with them. I have used a set of those loops for mobile operations, but I also have thousands of satellite QSOs in my log, and I know what I can and cannot do with them.
