[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Antenna for your SATCOM project

[Don (KI4D)]

This is a great tip for satellite work from club member Gene, N4JEE, who now resides in Florida.  I plan to try it out.  For those who may not know, it was Gene's idea to construct a comms trailer for the Alexandria Radio Club, which has become an icon for the club.  Also, thanks to the generosity of  Paul Stoetzer, N8HM, our AMSAT guest speaker; his slides are attached to this email.

Add an Arrow antenna and a photo tripod and you're in business.

 

These were designed for controlling security cameras, but obviously they can handle an Arrow antenna.
