This is quite curious.
Page 1 of the WA5VJB paper says, "Run the coax back down the antenna
and along the boom keeping the radius small..." His hand-drawn
illustration shows the feedline going down the boom then making a hard
turn at the boom-to-cross arm plate.
The M2 instruction sheets for the 2MCP8A and 436CP16 antennas both
state (in bold type), "Do not route feedline to boom to mast plate as
exiting antenna here will adversely affect circular field."
Mr. Britain's paper is obviously focused on mounting the cross bar
somewhere along the boom of a somewhat long antenna. The M2
instructions are for mounting short antennas from the back of the boom
to the cross bar. Not the same situation. But, for a newbie like me,
the definitive conclusion to this discussion is...I am still confused.
I was hoping to hang my M2 LEO antennas Monday morning but now not
until after I call the M2 support line for their read on this.

Yes, you can, just pay attention to how far your coax turn is from
your driven element. There are a couple spots to avoid.
It is pretty well explained in Kent Britain's (wa5vjb) paper here:

Building my new ground station and another question. I have always
only elevated my antenna 90 degrees. I loose about 20 25 seconds while
the azimuth rotator turns 180 degrees to track the rest of the pass. I
have just let the coax hang off the back of the antennas in a big
loop. I am afraid it will get hung up going 180 degrees. Question, Can
I attach the coax to the antenna boom and run it back until it gets to
the cross boom or will that throw off the radiation pattern?

Hi all
I?m in the same situation, this summer I?ll mont my pair of M2 with
separate feedlines for V and U, I?m going to use a good 7mm coax cable
routing across de boom, because routing to the back itcomplicates my
assembly a lot and adds extra weight to the back.
I hope it does not distort my radiation pattern too much

Just a note to say that the 1.07y FoxTelem release is fully compatible with
Fox-in-a-Box. I will be shipping it on FIAB SD cards bought from the AMSAT
store as of serial number 27 (any ordered after today). In fact some
earlier cards have a prerelease 1.07 version (1.07v), which has a lot of
the features of 1.07y, but still some bugs.
The free SD card download is not yet updated, but keep an eye on the
readme.txt file in http://burnsfisher.com/AMSAT/FoxInABox/. I will also
(eventually) write some specific instructions for upgrading for people who
already have an FIAB. Of course if you are comfortable with Linux, there
is nothing unusual required to upgrade except that the FIAB has its own
startup script. You don't need to use the one that comes in the Linux
package.

Unfortunately it's not one transmitter, but four of them (I thought 5,
but I just checked. Powers range from 1 - 10 kW), producing a lot of

pointing the beam into that direction. I don't think stubs will be broad
enough to cover 89 to 106 MHz, but I never worked with them, so I'm
guessing here. I don't have any problems with FM stations leaking onto
70 cm, just the air band, NOAA frequencies and 2 meters. My Airspy mini
also picks up lots of spurious signals? below 50 MHz, often hard enough
to ID.
I found this filter from Par Electronics

indicate if you can tx through it. Otherwise I will have to use it in
the shack and remove it when I want to tx on 2m, with the risk of
forgetting it and blowing it up. Will a sequencer be a solution then?

Though it takes some close and inventive soldering of the "T". Since the
FM band is 88 to 108 that (I think) is far enough from 145 to add minimum
loss. But at UHF, one needs to carefully check to make sure that the FM
frequency is not also a multiple of the FM frequency.
Tell us the FM broadcast frequency and we can take a quick look.

Hi Hans,
If you have a plenty of RG213 and suitable connectors, you could try
making a Coax stub filter.
You need a cable length that is an odd multiple of a quarter wave length
long at the FM Tx frequency and an even multiple of a quarter wave at the
frequency that you want (2M /70CMs).
A single RG213 stub would have about 25dB of rejection and would pass 100
Watts OK.
You just need a coax T connector and some matching connectors.
To trim the stub, use a set of garden secateurs.
If you have a Bao feng or similar radio you could use that on the FM band
attached to your T and trim the stub for minimum signal on the unwanted Tx
frequency.v dir="auto">I haven't run the calculations for how long the stub
should be but if it's
useful I could do so.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Shoppinglist
My sis-in-law will be visiting from the States soon and I usually make her
bring some stuff for me so I can save on freight costs. She will
definitely bring an Arrow Antenna so I can start some portable operations.
A Sony voice recorder is also on my list, as well as some coax cable
(RG-400 is what I'm thinking of. Really expensive here).
Don't have a budget for much more, but since I have a clear line-of-sight
to some 10 kW FM transmitters from my QTH I thought I should at least get
a good FM-band notch filter.
Any recommendations on where to buy this in the US? I haven't found
anything when I googled, not even a lot of 2/70 band pass filters, or low
pass filters to prevent desensing on 70 cm. My own creations have a too
high insertion loss, so this time I really want something a bit more
professional and something that can handle at least 100 Watts of power.
Any recommendations are welcome. Cheers. --Hans BX2ABT

I think the most obvious answer is that people aren?t logging the /P. When
I operate CONUS I often affix the call area to distinguish that I?m outside
of Alaska so AL6D/W4 etc, but I usually upload with both AL6D (USA DXCC)
and AL6D/W4 to prevent this issue (and I see many QSLs for both).

Bob, I had that problem once years ago, when I ran QRP for a bunch of
contacts. It all depends on how the other stations puts you in their
log. If they put your call in without the /P, then LOTW will not
recognize it as a match. I ended up uploading the same contact under
my N3YUG, and N3YUG/QRP accounts.
