Hi Steve,
I don't have my arissops schedule in from of me at the moment, but I assume
you are mentoring the Canada contacts for next week. If so, are either of
the two planning to provide live streaming and if so, can you provide the
URLs for them so I can post them at our FB and Twitter accounts?
Thanks,

I never went down that route, even when I had a fixed base station. I chose
to listen to those who had tried them then got rid of them. I?ve been on the
BB off and on for about 20 years and the same topics always seem to rehash
themselves with eggbeaters being one of the most popular.
All I can say is that friends don?t let friends use eggbeaters for any
serious satellite work. I?ll put my handheld Arrow controlled by my licensed
12 year-old daughter up against any set of eggbeaters any day of the week.
Best of luck to all and 73!

What Jeff said.
I did go down this path and still have a pair in the attic with my homebrew
beams that are about equivalent to a LEO Pack.
If you look on the M2 site at the gain plots for a 4 element CP yagi and
compare it to the Eggbeater plot you?ll see why this provokes so many
enthusiastic responses. At 30 degrees you have about 15 dB less gain with
the Eggbeater than the yagi. And it deteriorates quickly from there as you
go lower.
The original poster noted a 40 degree pass, and they work ok there. You?re
only about 4 dB down from the yagi. But above 30 degrees is a much too
small patch of sky to live with for a lot of people. You?ll find people
using them successfully lower than that, but with good preamps and higher
power, which won?t help you make a lot of friends if you don?t crank the
power down as the sats get closer.

Dear Group,
?I'm using the UZ7HO high-speed sound modem, with an FT991a.?While I can
receive the satellites in 9k6 FSK without problems whenI transmit, it is not
expected that the modulation does not deviate enough.
Someone with experience in the FT991 to give me a clue?

Per original post, AO 7 is amazing. It was my first satellite contact way
back in 1974 (I had listened to AO-6). It suffers from a lack of use, but
is a great bird for CW. But it does flip modes if people hit it with too
much RF.
As for Doug's egg-beater question, I've been using mine at home since
1998. Sadly my feedlines are longer (50' on 2m and 75' on 70cm) and much
higher loss Belden 9914. At least I have mast mounted preamps; both SSB
Electronics that are powered via the coax.
Egg-beaters are not great antennas close to the horizon, as they change
from RHP to horizontal, plus they are omni, so no gain and the increased
path loss to a low-elevation bird makes that an issue. That said I can
ALWAYS work several stations on any pass that is above 20 degrees, in what
is a 5-7 minute window (so I don't get the full 10-11 minutes). In the
first 5 months of this year I've made over 300 contacts with them.
I will replace both egg beaters with new ones, along with new preamps (NF
is much improved in 20 years) and heliax feedline at some point in the
future. Trying to maintain rotors and fragile CP beams isn't something
that I would attempt in icy New England. I do use a pair of simple beams
when I am operating in the field and even though they are not CP, I really
like doing that (and can usually work horizon to horizon with S9 signals).

Whilst perusing the new DX Engineering catalog, I see a new ?arrow style?

No word on performance, but I'd be willing to bet it's as least as good as
an Arrow.
It's expensive compared to an Arrow, especially an Arrow with no diplexer,
but I'd still love to try it. I've never been fond of the way Arrow
elements screw together to mount on the boom. This is much more robust,
and they can be removed with an Allen wrench.
The biggest disadvantage I see is that it doesn't look like you can connect
coax to it with BNC connectors. It appears you have to strip your coax
cable and attach the leads to a pair of screw terminals. That's a
potential point of mechanical failure and water entry if you don't seal and
secure things properly.
