If the design is good in the first place (interlaced yagis),there should be
no problem.
I am using an interlaced yagi , 2m and 70cm and a *common feedpoint, *that
is, no duplexer at the feedpoint a single/common element feed. All elements
for both bands are in the same plane.
It was designed to be used that way. It is an EAntenna, 5 EL on 2m, 8 EL on
70cm and it works beautifully on the LEO birds. I run strictly mode B and
have the antenna mounted atop a 48' tower and 15' of mast. It is vertically
polarized with a fixed 15 deg upltilt (elevation), eliminating the need for
an elevation rotor, as the gain at the horizon is only down 1 dB.
Judicious use of Comet duplexers or triplexers as filters works out very
well.
I can hear myself at an elevation of -0.5 deg easily on nearly all the
LEOs. No intermod , no desense because duplexers make such good filters for
satellites.
You can see my QRZ page for pictures of the antenna in place at 65' (fed
with 1/2" hardline)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
The ARRL NTX Section is again hosting what they call "MentorFest", an
educational day for Amateur Radio. The date is on April 18th 2020 and it
will be held in Garland, Texas. It is like Hamfest seminars, but instead of
getting a single 1 hour slot, you do presentations all day. I would live
to Present there this year, but I will be out of state that weekend.
I am mentioning this now as it would be great if someone in the North Texas
Section or anywhere in Texas or Southern Oklahoma, would like to take up the
challenge of bringing AMSAT to this event.
Contact Steve, KG5VK NTX Section manager for more information.

I also agree with the others. Signal strength is down significantly. I?m
deciding 3-10 frames a pass now and saw 20-40 a few days ago.
Something is not right
Might be my imagination but the sat frequency seemed to shift a few hundred
HZ as well.
Fingers crossed

Hi Bernard,
Yes it is now active, and yesterday evening (Sunday) the SSB band was almost
fully utilized. Great that we have a 500 KHz transponder enabling so many
experiments.
Also, just move my shack to LG89ux in the North of 3B8 including the Winlink
station operational since about 5 years ago when you encouraged me to set it
up as Indian Ocean was badly covered. So far it enabled a few fellow
seafarers to avoid cyclonic conditions (may be save life's) and also useful
for me when offshore. in spite not much traffic it has been used when a
communication link badly needed in the region, thus useful. Thanks for the
good advices.

Progress on 3rd week of beginning satellite hobby:
(still reading and learning..)
Two HT's with homemade YAGI (2M and 70cm)
Learning to receive only first.
Received multiple passes of AO-91 and 92. Recorded voices and deciphered
later, matching call signs and grid coordinates to make sure I heard
correctly. Also, listened to NO-84 signal. So I confirm reception on both U
and V.
I checked active status online for the following satellites but on trying
to receive them, got nothing: KKS-1, TIGRISAT, FALCONSAT3, DELPHI C3,
EO-88, DUCHIFAT1, and ISS (both 433.550 and 145.800).
Questions:
Is there a place where hams could log their connections? If I knew that,
for example, Falconsat3 was truly transmitting, then that would help.
Are there other "active" bird lists? (I used N2Y0)
Thanks.

Hi Jackie,
Try this link: https://www.amsat.org/status/
It shows reports that other hams have made concerning receiving different
satellites, and if the transponder is on or not.

You are most likely to hear ISS on 145.825 with APRS packets. There is a
school to ISS QSO coming up on Thursday, Feb 20 around 1820 UTC. That QSO
can be heard on 145.800 (if you're in the footprint, of course).

During most daylight hours EO-88 is BPSK telemetry only on 145.940 MHz
with the CW/SSB downlink generally active when the satellite is in eclipse.
ISS will be audible on 145.800 MHz FM when they have a school contact
this week if the current crew schedule still holds:
> Maple Dale Elementary School, Cincinnati, OH, direct via K8SCH
> The ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be NA1SS
> The scheduled astronaut is Drew Morgan KI5AAA
> Contact is go for: Thu 2020-02-20 18:20:28 UTC
> Watch for live stream at https://facebook.com/ohkyinars
ISS packet is on 145.825 MHz. You can see the packet log at:
http://www.ariss.net/ which shows who was on and when last heard.
The other satellite sites often get their information from the source -
that's AMSAT - so the more or less latest information is on the AMSAT
sites:
1. The status page that W5TD mentioned in another message.
2. The list at https://www.amsat.org/two-way-satellites/
Note that not all of the satellites are AMSAT birds. It is up to the
satellite owners to get out the latest news on the birds they own and
operate - so sometimes the info is accurate and sometimes out-dated or
missing.
Falconsat is data so you won't be hearing any voice QSO's.

Jackie,
You mention 2 HTs but not models so I will assume that they are FM only
HTs. Some HTs can receive other modes, most do not. I suggest using the
status page someone sent along, and the FM repeater list:
https://www.amsat.org/two-way-satellites/.
AO-91, AO-92 and SO-50 will almost always have a station or two on while
they are over the US,unless it is in the very early AM hours.
There is a decently large AMSAT community on Twitter, but you can also be
sure to find active passes by following the rovers:
https://www.amsat.org/satellite-info/upcoming-satellite-operations/
Two operating tips since you are already doing the #1 tip of listening. Be
prepared to transmit in case the pass is slow. Also a filter is HIGHLY
recommended, I used a MFJ-916B on the 2m rig for a long time. A
Mini-circuits BLP-200+ is also great, lighter but a bit more expensive. A
filter was the biggest station improvement I have ever made to my dual
radio satellite step.
