All, I just finish making (with the help of my freind Jimmy, KZ7QCW) a Dual beam yagi accoring to plans from Kent britain (WA5VJB). I Listened in on the AO-51 pass at 004UT. I'm using my Kenwood TH-7D in duplex mode.
Heard a good signal and a few pile ups. I was able to tune for the doppler pretty easy and kept a good signal. I tried to break twice, but couldn;t get through, not sure it was me or the antenna (my guess would be me). Even though i didn;t make a contact, I had fun listening and learned a bit about how the communication process goes, so hopefully my next attempt will be more sucessful. I will be on AO-51 again for the pass at 0001UT 15 Jul. I'd appreciate anyone listening for me (K7TEJ) from DM33. Any advice & elmering is appreciated and welcomed. 73's and thanks in advance.
