A most interesting (learning) QSO was completed with Greg KO6TH on AO-51. L band antenna (22el yagi) mounted inside a 20M Quad, no elevation ability. 70cm yagi on a az/el system-none of it computer controlled. Tx a IC-1271A driving a KJ6KO amp. No automatic doppler correction. With three rotors and manual doppler correction and trying to see the computer screen too far away for my bifocals to work, it was a learning experience. I will be calling Martha tomorrow to order the LVB tracker, and putting one of my 16 turn helix antennas on the az/el system and move computer display or get stronger glasses! This is fun stuff! Thanks to Drew and the crew for playing with these different modes. I can receive 2.4ghz with a 3 foot dish, but I ran out of hands. try it you'll like it! 73 Bob W7LRD Seattle
