Agree !!
Along those lines, before I put up my Kenpro az/el rotor, I plan on testing
various locations using my Elk with a fixed el but on a small rat shack
rotor for az. I have seen here recommendations for 15 deg and some for 30
deg fixed el. Thus there seems to be 2 schools of thought on this.
The actual fixed elevation on the AZ rotor is determined by the beam width
of the yagi antenna used. If at all possible, all the calculations based on
the average pass elevation is near 30 degrees. If you believe that you will
use lower passes, say if the beam width is 25 degrees, putting it
I agree with Dee, but I'll add my opinion. The fixed elevation option is a
good approach to reduce your costs.
If you are going to fix the elevation, do *not* use a very high gain antenna
with a narrow beam width. You are better off with a moderate gain antenna (for
example, the Elk or 4-7

If you don't ask, you will never know!!
I really forget
was it the radio or the antenna that came first?

Ted,
How about a 3rd school of thought? If you have a clear view of the horizon, I
recommend you point the antenna(s) directly at the antenna (0 degrees
elevation). That is the point in a satellite's path across the sky where you
have the greatest range (distance between you and the
Here's the op sked for tonight and tomorrow. Pse note that planned
means just that: I'm figuring on being in the grid(s) listed, but I can
only be certain when the actual pass occurs, and the GPS rules. I
identify my current grid during each and every contact so there won't be
any question later

Good day to the list,
I'm looking to decode the beacon from this satellite, but cannot seem to
find the Rascal program. The archives here state that the website server
suffered a disk crash some time ago, which explains why I can't reach the
website. Anyone know where else I could obtain a

I remember watching CNN's coverage of it. There was a TV camera on board which
showed the view from orbit, though the station had been abandoned by then.
