Alinco has a 1.2GHz HT, but the Arrow will not work. There is a small Yagi

Thanks to all who answered.
For those wanting to know the secret for the $200 AMSAT discount, please
reference the recent AMSAT Journal to find the coupon code in the Gigaparts

Honestly, I don't think the current usage levels justify another day.
However, I am considering moving L/v to Wednesdays UTC like the old

Hopefully ESEO will be commissioned someday and we'll have a full-time L/v
satellite.

Hi!
I'm still making progress moving up through Ontario along the
401 freeway. Most of Tuesday was spent around Toronto, either
working passes in FN03 or FN04, or much of the morning and
early afternoon on the FN03/FN04 grid line in Aurora (north
of Toronto). Lots of QSOs, and a nice AO-91 QSO in the morning
with Peter 2E0SQL in Scotland - my first satellite QSO with
Scotland, and first transatlantic FM satellite QSO of any sort.
Later in the afternoon, I had a chance to meet up with Adrian
VA3NNA, and work some passes from the lakefront not far from
his house in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough.
After the late-afternoon meeting with Adrian, and a bite to eat,
it was back to the road. I drove up the 401 freeway from Toronto
to the town of Trenton, in grid FN14. Trenton is near the Canadian
Forces air base of the same name, and I worked a couple of passes
(AO-92, SO-50) from outside my motel. With a couple of other rovers
also on those passes, they were busy - busy, but fun. Grids were
going out to operators all over the country.
I plan on sticking around FN14 in Ontario for Wednesday. With
this late evening to get my logs updated, I won't start out too
early in the morning. I plan on working passes from somewhere in
this grid, possibly at a grid boundary yet to be determined. It
is looking like I'll pass on making the drive all the way to
either Montreal or Ottawa, so I can spend more time working from
the rarely-heard grid FN14. I am planning on crossing back into
the States on Thursday morning, which will wrap up this Canadian
road trip.
As I mentioned, my logs should be up to date in Logbook of the
World now. If you don't see a confirmation in there, please e-mail
me directly. More updates will follow on my @?????? Twitter feed
(visible at http://twitter.com/WD9EWK ), and my travels should be
visible on APRS as WD9EWK-9 (http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 ).
73!

Brad,
Look through this thread on the QRZ satellite forum for
pictures of some L/V setups used with AO-92:

A bunch of us use the DJ-G7T HT with different antennas.
I have even used my DJ-G7T to work AO-92 L/V full-duplex,
with a diplexer between the HT and my 2 antennas.

Brad,
Behold:

Took the rear two 2 meter elements off the Arrow and drilled holes with the
appropriate spacing on a $30 eBay antenna.
I use a Yaesu VX2 for the downlink and the Alinco DJ-7T for the L-Band uplink.
73,
Mike
