This is my minimal handheld sat setup. Homemade 440 Yagi for the downlink and an old MFJ extendable whip for the 2M uplink. I've made contacts on AO-51, SO-50 and AO-27 with this setup. http://jhitesma.smugmug.com/Electronics/Handheld-sat-setup/DSCN1568/36147931_hf2uJ-Ti.jpg http://jhitesma.smugmug.com/gallery/811690_UDYTq/ 2005-10-02T15:43:21Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
