I see lots of talk about some new sats going up that will be utilizing 23cm.
so I have some questions.. first let me explain what I have setup
currently.
1) Icom IC-9100 (23cm module not added yet)
2) M2 eggbeaters (70cm and 2m) with preamps
So I am contemplating adding the 23cm add on for the 9100 but perplexed
about an antenna. suggestions?
Thanks

Hi David,
It comes down to whether you want to build or buy. If you want to build,
a helix is one way. If you want to buy, check out the loop yagis from
Directive Systems. Be aware, you want the loop yagis that cover the
satellite uplink band rather than terrestrial operation which is at 1296
MHz.
I use a Directive Systems 45 element loop yagi and ~80 watts.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Thanks to all who worked me from the DO21/DO31 line yesterday evening -
it was a busy but enjoyable pass. My apologies to N6SPP and KA4H who
were both working from portable locations as well! Unfortunately Eric
didn't hear most of the calls directed his way :-(
I was operating from my truck (photo posted on twitter) using the mobile
radio and ATAS antenna for TX. RX consisted of the UHF side of an arrow
with my Alinco DJ582 HT. One lesson learned is that I would have been
better off using the VHF side of the arrow for TX because as SO-50
dropped to 5 or 6 degrees to the SE I was able to jump up onto the roof
of my topper and extend RX for a minute, but the TX no longer had line
of sight.
I had also tried FO-29 just before the SO-50 pass with no successful
contacts (half duplex is not conducive to the scenario)
Here are the stations I was able to work (12 on 1 pass is probably a
personal best!):
WA7HQD
WC7V
KL7XJ
K6FW
K6YK
N6UK
N6SPP
K8YSE
W5CBF
WA5KBH
AA5PK
KA4H
I also heard N4UFO and NX9B call me at the end but couldn't TX back in
at that point.
The QSO's have all been uploaded to LoTW.
73!

RadFXSat/Fox-1B Launch Opportunity Announcement November 2016
AMSAT has been notified by Scott Higginbotham, Mission Manager for ELaNa-12
(Fox-1A launch) and ELaNa-14 (RadFxSat/Fox-1B launch) in NASA's Launch
Services Program at Kennedy Space Center, "The ELaNa-14 CubeSat complement
is scheduled to fly along with NOAA's JPSS-1 spacecraft on a Delta II that
will be launching from VAFB on November 15, 2016. Due to a number of
CubeSats recently dropping off of the manifest for this flight, a door has
been opened, and it is my pleasure to inform you that your respective
CubeSats (RadFXSat, GoldenEagle-1, EagleSat, and MiRaTA) have all been
officially added to the manifest."
AMSAT will begin working with Tyvak, the CubeSat Dispenser and Dispenser
Integration Contractor for this flight. Additional news regarding the
schedule milestones toward meeting launch requirements will be released as
more information becomes available.
In a message sent to AMSAT Vice President Engineering, Jerry Buxton, N0JY,
Higginbotham concluded, "Congratulations and welcome aboard!"

The sad part is the worst offenders are repeat offenders. They aren't
people who are new to satellites. They aren't people new to ham radio.
They are experienced operators who refuse to accept any responsibility
when it comes to their poor operating practices.
Publishing their call signs on the front cover of QST wouldn't matter
because the worst, repeat offenders simply refuse to acknowledge the
problem. They live along a river known as DENIAL.
Occasionally many of us, myself included, are caught running too much
uplink power. Perhaps it's a high elevation pass. As Paul N8HM pointed
out, sometimes 5 watts into an Arrow is too much!
