this is a look out of my shack window . beaming north west to north
takeoff - jo43xn

SAT FUN without Az / Ele rotator and long X yagis . i operate QRP .

the antennas are 18 meters atop the road and about 60 meters ASL .
in the summertime i mount my 7 element LPDA at the window , outside . than the IC-251 is only 4 meters away. for 70 cm i build a circular double hybrid quad , that i hang out of the window the whole year. it has only 2m coax to the IC-451 . i need to make a polarisation switch for the 70 cm antenna .
in winter i use a 2m eggbeater with preamplifire in the attic ( long coax ) .
7 element LPDA used for 2 m up and downlink 70 cm circular, 2 double quads and a mash
LINK to the LPDA site

HERE some beacon plots

MS reflections from the GRAVES space radar		 maybe the 2 quads are a little bit to close together,
but it works fine and makes a lot gain
