Jeff:

You said that you would drop by and pick up the extendable mast that I have 
sitting in the side yard. We MIGHT be able to use it for 6 Meters. I don't 
know what else we can use.

Harvey:

You said you have a 2 meter Yagi we can use for satellite work. I have a 70 
cm yagi. It's mounted on a abt a 3 to 4 ft wood mast. I figure that we can 
mount your 2 meter on the other end and use them vertically. We still need 
something to mount the assembly on, like a tripod. and we need to figure 
some way to determine direction and aim them.

I have to arrange for a print-out of the various satellites and there 
passes.

73,

Bill, W3XO/5
