I was using a home made JPole. What is the best antenna configuration for SAREX?

It's is as the name would suggest just two halfwave dipoles laid out horizontally and at right angles to each other, so they form a "X" if you like and phased with a 1/4 wave matching stub. You should be able to buy one quite easily from a good ham shop or if you like I'd be more than happy to mail you with the details of how to build one. Question for you if I may, where can I get a copy of MacSPOC ? Kind regards, Sean. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Sep 1994 17:53:58 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!dog.ee.lbl.gov!agate!library.ucla.edu!news.mic.ucla.edu!unixg.ubc.ca!quartz.ucs.ualberta.ca!alberta!ve6mgs!usenet@network.ucsd.edu Subject: SAREX Keps 9/17 at 21:30 UTC To: ham-space@ucsd.edu SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-64.023 SAREX Keps 9/17 21:30 UTC Silver Spring, MD September 17, 1994 at 21:30 UTC The following represents the latest Keplerian Elements as generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, at the Goddard Space Flight Center and modified to improve the drag term by Gil Carman, WA5NOM, at the Johnson Space Center.
