[amsat-bb] Stealth Satellite Station?

[Tim Goodrich]

Build a 2m and 70cm Quadrifilar Helix- they'll give you coverage virtually
horizon to horizon. Stick them on the roof by using a number of hose clamps
to attach the PVC mast to one of the roof's metal plumbing vent pipes (not a
gas exhaust or anything with hot air).

Low profile, completely temporary, and good coverage.

[amsat-bb] Stealth Satellite Station?

[Kent Frazier]

I currently live in a rental house and an outside antenna is out of the
question. I asked about putting up a satellite TV dish at my own expense
last year and received and flat out "NO".  So, my current options are as
follows:

1. Going out to my car and working the FM birds with my Icom 2720H and 19"
whip.
2. Working the FM birds from the back/front yard or possibly inside the
house with my Icom W32A and Elk LP antenna.
3. Setting up my 2720 in the house with some sort of stealth antenna and
give a try at satellite APRS.

Obviously options 1 and 3 still allow for option 2.

Has anyone tried any form of stealth antenna for Satellites. I am really
interested in the idea of combining the satellites and aprs together.
