I currently have a cheap 10 element antenna in a vertical configuration. I
wanted to also use it on our local D-Star repeater as well.

The problem I am having with QRZ.com is most people use other logging
software that migrates or populates into QRZ.com. However, if you log your
QSO's on QRZ.com, people who use LoTW don't like to upload QSO's on QRZ.com
and want only LoTW, even though the they have a QRZ.com account.

Definitely recommend a directional antenna of some kind. Dont get hung up
on polarity (Horizontal, Circular) too much. I use a Directive Systems 45
Element Loop Yagi that works nicely. The two best brands if antennas for
23cm base station sat work that are popular today are Directive Systems
which makes loop yagis and Wimo which makes 23cm Helix antennas. Both work
very well. The most important factor I have found with this band is to keep
your horizon as clear as possible. Tree leafs or hills will heavily
attenuate your signal on this band more so then 70cm, so elevate your
antenna if possible that will help alot. You can get into the bird with as
little as 1w if your horizon is completely clear, but if you have big
obstructions like massive pine trees like I do, 10w or a bit more may be
needed. It's a very fun mode to operate and tinker on.

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

Thanks to all who replied so far - and I appreciate all ideas and suggestions.
I failed to say that the cables are all ABR Industries premade 75? LMR-400
UltraFlex and the rotor cables were also premade by ABR. Chuck and the
folks at ABR did a great job of supporting me and have some ready-to-order
short adapter cables that go a square Molex-similar European connector with
6-pins to 6 spade lugs that easily connect to the Yaesu G-5500 rotor control
unit. This made the rotor cable ?snap-and-play?.
I quickly took some photos of the Leo pack to show cable routing, etc but
AMSAT-BB rules forbid attachments, so if you would like pictures I can send
them to your email.
This brings me to how the LEO pack got on the roof - a friend, who knows
nothing of radio but is great mechanically did the assembly and roof
install. He is Cambodian and I am sure I heard cursing about the M2
directions in at least TWO languages!
Please provide any input you may have as we will try very soon to rework as
needed from the roof to save taking it all down to retune. I suspect that
the biggest issue will be to use the M2 dimensions for the driven element
shorting block.

The Rice University newspaper, The Thresher, first published in 1916, has
gone electronic only, but perhaps not permanently. I enjoy receiving hard
copy, but as we change with the times, I could be convinced. PDF works
really well for many.

I was very pleased when ARRL made electronic copies of QST available along
with downloadable copies of past issues. I could finally dispose of those
magazine boxes stores on the top closet shelf. Doing something similar for
The AMSAT Journal would be great. It even would allow color to be used in
the articles. I seldom need hard copies of many articles, so printing has
not been a problem. PDF would be my format preference. We would get the
Journal earlier and wouldn't have to store the old issues. I assume AMSAT
would make available an online availability of past issues.

I would have no problem with a PDF.
I would like to see the format changed a bit. In most PDF's, they are
simple copies of the print format. They are usually based on 2 or 3
column portrait layouts. On a typical PC monitor, it forces you to
scroll up/down to follow the text.
Check out what TAPR did with the Packet Status Register. The format is
Landscape and fits easily on screen. Pretty easy to read.

Just a suggestion.

I seem to be missing my AMSAT Journal Volume 24, Number 6
(November/December 2019).
I checked the web site and I didn't any back issues. If not a copyright
violation, would anyone be willing to scan the article "For Beginners
Amateur Radio Satellite Primer II" and email it to me?
Thanks,
Kent
