Bill and all,
Joe is right. F2IL gave me a 569 report on AO-7 Mode B Thursday evening - and I was hand-holding my Elk on the second floor of my house, pointing it to the northeast at a spot on a windowless wall. When we worked, AO-7 was at roughly 3.5 degrees elevation here.
I wish I had decided to try these low-angle passes months ago!
73 to all,
Tim - N3TL -------------- Original message from Joe nss@mwt.net: --------------
You'd be amazed at what you can do with an indoor yagi also..
My first 2 meter ant was a 3 ele quad on a photo tripod that sat right next to me on the floor in the shack,

Are there plans anywhere for a homebrew version of the Elk duo bander? After reading through the prior thread about the poor performance of Eggbeaters and other omnis, I'm ready to risk the wrath of my Homeowners Association and put up
a small beam.
Or, anybody have an Elk for sale?
73, Bill NZ5N
