Thanks to Kevin, KK4YEL in EL98 for my first-ever L-Band QSO tonight through AO-92. The loop Yagi seemed to work well, as my downlink was loud into the satellite.
Experienced deep fades as the satellite tumbled. Limited by the fixed polarization of my mounted 2 Meter Arrow antenna. Gotta think about a circularly polarized 2 Meter antenna for the attic.
Big fun!
