"Whether the operator puts his/her beam at 15 degrees elevation, at 30 degrees elevation, or at another elevation, the answer to the original question remains the same. Yes, using a yagi with a fixed elevation can be used for satellite communication and, in the vast majority of time, a fixed elevation yagi works very well."
Well said, Glen. After all the discussion I put my Elk up at somewhere between 30 and 25 and it works like a champ !! Night and day over my previous circular set up !! I'm not losing any sleep over +- 5 degrees... 73, Ted K7TRK _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
