straight up, but then just realized that this is a tether satellite, so the
antenna is VERTICAL! Thus, a null straight down.
So maybe the only application then is to use it as a receive a

Bear in mind there are no Amateur Satellite Service allocations
Hi Bob.

UoSAT-OSCAR-9 carried HF beacons on 7, 14, 21, and 28 MHz, and if I recall
correctly, the only beacon never heard was the one on 7 MHz.
So, receiving
