My HB 5 turn helical and Alinco HT do not seem to cut it on AO-92. Anyone else trying portable? 72, Bob KI0G

Hi Bob!
Yes, a variety of antennas are being used to work the AO-92 1.2 GHz uplink. There was a recent thread about this topic on here. My contribution to the previous thread was:

Several of us are using the Alinco DJ-G7T HT for the 1.2 GHz uplink, and its 1W transmitter power is adequate - subject to the details of the pass you are working, your surroundings, how you are tuning to compensate for uplink Doppler, etc. ...

Hi Bob!
Thanks for the compliment on the Journal article. That issue was in my mailbox yesterday.
The Journal article describes what I have been using to work AO-92's L/V mode, but there are a few other antennas that other operators have been using that aren't mentioned in the article. The link in my earlier message, along with other messages in that discussion earlier this month, should give you a good idea on what is being used for the uplink when working AO-92's L/V mode. Antennas have also been discussed in the QRZ satellite forum, along with pictures of some examples:

Good luck, and 73!
