WB8ZOM Don, Congrats to you!! I'll always recall my first satellite
QSO. It was with KA4KYI 2+ years ago. I was using my HF/VHF/UHF mobile
station for those early contacts. It grows on you; I now have automated
xcvr and rotor steering on 2M and 70CM and am getting ready to erect

Hi Greg,
What I meant by "at best" is that it will certainly be a challenge (at 2.5 GHz)
to get one panel just a perfect 1/4 wavelength forward from the other. It will
be equally as challenging (at 2.5 GHz) to make 75 ohm phasing cables some odd
multiple of 1/4 wavelength.
I say that becaus
Congrats, Don!
That bug bit me about 17 years ago. It still hasn't let go.

Hi John,
"At best"? Interesting... I've seen many diagrams about mounting two linear
YAGIs at 90 degrees from each other on the same cross arm, with the appropriate
phasing harness. My plan is to mount the two panels the same; one next to the
other, rotated 45 degrees in opposite directions
You can place them side by side and introduce the delay in the feed line of
one as well.

And I heard in a presentation at the Cape some years ago that "We are so sure
the solid rockets will ignite that we send the command to blow the hold down
bolts before we send the solid rocket ignition command". Also I heard from
somebody that the fractured hold down bolts are presented to the shut

Dee,
Yes Dee good point, now that a station can make FD points on all the
Linear Satellite's it might encourage Clubs to increase their AMSAT
visability and run a complete station. It will be another opportunity to
help DARA add more matching funds towards our goal of "Getting Back into

Hi Domenico,
The HG2414P is a linearly polarized patch.

The HG2409PC is a circular polarized patch (LH or RH available).

They are about the same price too.

Don,
Not only was it you're first contact but you also picked a satellite, SO-50
which is a challenge sometimes to operate! Ok, now you're on your way
towards VUCC!!

Congratulations, Don - and welcome to orbit!
Here, the excitement hasn't gotten old after almost two years. Working the
satellites is the most fun and satisfying thing I've ever done in amateur
radio. I wish you all the best as you continue working passes and making lots
more contacts.

Hi Greg,
These panels are patch style antennas and as such you will not be able to place
one behind the other to obtain circular polarization. Placing one next to the
other will at best produce an elliptically polarized pattern, and you should
