Hi Curt, Where did you get the build data for your antennas? I'm using EggBeaters and they just don't seem to work very well. I'm looking for an alternative that's not too difficult to build. 73, Doug -- K0DXV

Hi All,

This past weekend I had a chance to rove in two grids, DM36 and DM46. I struggled to get into any FM birds (only one QSO), but easily made many contacts through transponder satellites, using both SSB and CW.

This was my first opporunity to really wring out two recently completed LIndeblad antennas. Overall I'm pretty pleased with their performance. At times I had to back down the power of my IC-910H to 5 watts to match the beacon signal strength. Of course a pair of circularly polarized yagi's will have more gain, but for portable operations the pair of Lindy's does great.

At the link below you can see my setup, including the brand new tire on my right rear wheel :)

See you on the air,

Curt / K7ZOO
