[HCARC] Antenna set up

Tue Jun 18 15:12:00 EDT 2013

Bill, I have a short tripod you may remember from when we had the AO-40 setup.  We'll have to figure a way to tie it down.  Jeff could pick up that and the 2 M ant when he gets the 6 M beam.  I still have Floyd's circularly polarized 70 cm ant.
Give me a list of satellites and I can print the passes now that I have Nova installed again.

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
