Thanks to everyone for being patient. I was working the satellite from a vertical antenna and learning a lot about where it is effective, and where it is not effective and receiving satellite signals. I managed one QSO, and I hope I wasn't spamming the bird too much. Learned a lot, so if I try it again, I should be easier to work. I think I know where every skinny, useless side-lobe is on my antenna now.
