Hello I too am recently addicted,
I dont know exactly what you are using, I do not have a duplex rig, and am
reluctant to get one considering all the controversy, and real full duplex and
so on. I do know that ANY dual band antenna and ANY dual band and duplex
whatever you are compromising. Try and cram everything in one rig and one
antenna one coax.... It is just not as good as 2 seperate stations period.
Unless you are gonna spend all kinds of money on one of those dream radios, you
know?
I wrote an article on my attemps and failures starting out with the sats, >>>
nvllrc.org <<< FM Satellites section. A friend of mine made a little web site
recently and let me put sat stuff on there. It is brand new so dont expect
much, but I put all the usefull info I had at the end of the story, I will be
adding a bunch of stuff this week that I found. What we use is in there, I
think we spoiled ourselves with fairly good equip to start out. It is
definately not great but works really well.
So anyway, just thought I would give you my 2 cents. I find it really nice to
have a totally different radio, ant, coax, for the receive, I can hear all the
birds clear as day! But we need another SSB rig to work the big boy sats, I am
dying to do that!
I will be on this weekend, I didnt get your call so I dont know how far you are
but I would love to try a pre aranged contact???
