I have tentatively ruled out the KLM 22C antenna because the boom is so long. I would prefer to use either the small KLM's, or the M2 antennas which are 16 elements on VHF, 30 elements on UHF. I would appreciate anybody's comments: 1. Comparison of small KLM (14 el. on VHF) vs. M2 antennas (16 el. on VHF) ? (gain, mechanical construction, weather problems, polarity relays, etc.) 2. Is a closet rod an acceptable substitute for a fiberglass crossboom ? If so, is polyurethane an acceptable sealant ? 3. Best weatherproof VHF preamp that can handle 50+ watts ? Please respond to the newsgroup or direct to wayne@csg.mot.com 73 de Wayne Estes, WD5FFH, Mundelein, IL ------------------------------ Date: 5 Jul 1994 22:11:53 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!howland.reston.ans.net!spool.mu.edu!nigel.msen.com!heifetz.msen.com!koechig@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Sat Logging To: ham-space@ucsd.edu Just out of curiosity is there a right way and wrong way when it comes to logging satellite qsos? Is the tx freq used for the record? Thanks Bill Koechig, N8PKA ------------------------------ End of Ham-Space Digest V94 #178 ******************************
