Has anyone tried M2 loops 2m/70cm for use with satellite contacts. Main
target is the SSB birds and yes on field day.

Ok, I get it lousy for the money, lousy for signal. I do have better

An Elk yagi will perform much better and at less cost

If you just need one contact, Floyd, you can probably do it with an HT. Look
at Clint Bradford's site for some tutorial
