In my case, the light weight beam was mounted to a tripod at the rear-most
end so that the 2m reflector would not foul with the tripod legs. The
counter balance required was not much (less than 4 pounds), so I used some
fishing lead weight, see link below.? It comes in a coil that conveniently
wraps around the end of the boom.? A length of magic tape secured it to the
boom.?
?
PS: The arrangement worked fine but I wasn't happy that the weight of the
whole thing was now twice the weight of the antenna.?

I use a square wooden dowel on the back end of my Arrow that I clip my RX

My thinking has been to put it out of balance, especially with the light
weight satellite antennas we use.
In a perfectly balanced system, the wind will work the gearing back and
forth. In an unbalanced system, the gears will stay meshed in one direction
not working the internal parts when the antennas are moving or are at rest.
It's difficult to balance a system when coax and preamps added to the rear.
It's also good to have the least wind resistance when SatPC32 returns
antennas to the rest position The Yaesu elevation rotors are pretty tough.
I used an Alliance U-110 for years with no problems. Talk about out of
balance, check my qrz page.
Good luck with this. It has been an interesting subject.

Re: Counterbalance weight on antenna rotator? (Bob Hammond)
My antennas are mostly "center" mounted because of their length and are
pretty well balanced as a result. For antennas rear mounted to the cross
boom, a length of tubing extending in the opposite direction from the
antennas could be used with an adjustable weight that can be positioned to
achieve the correct balance. The idea of a counter balance weight is
interesting, but the antennas present a variable load depending upon the
elevation. The weight on the cable presents a constant load independent of
the elevation. Worse yet, I use a flip mode tracking that resolves the
issue of having the satellite path cross the stops of the azimuth rotor and
having to rotate the antennas 360 degrees to continue tracking the
satellite. But this requires 180 degree movement of the elevation rotor.
The weight on a cable would then add to the weight of the antennas which
would make the problem worse and make the elevation rotor work twice as
hard. See a picture of my home satellite installation on qrz.com by
looking up N7JK. Using an opposing counterbalance weight mounted opposite
the antennas can essentially change the function of the elevation rotor to
being simply a positioning device if the array is properly balanced.

What do all think of this idea? Pictured is a trial weight (20 lbs). I
envision using stainless steel cable instead of the nylon rope for security
and safety. As the antenna crossboom is rotated, the rope unwinds.

If you use the G0KLA Sat Tracker then I have made a minor update to the
display to improve the rendering. There are no other changes so this is
very optional.

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station?
Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
New Proposal Window is October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019?
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS.? ARISS anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Crew scheduling and ISS
orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio
contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw
large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a
well-developed education plan.?
?
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 30, 2019.? Proposal
information and documents can be found at http://www.ariss.org .?
?
The Opportunity?
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.?
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight
and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations
must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of
the radio contact.?
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.??
