Thanks everyone for the replies! It is very helpful, and I do appreciate
it. The SV1BSX site is great, and the visualizations really helped me
understand how circular polarization works.
Thanks especially Zach for letting me know about M2 Antennas using the
relay at the feedpoint. That's also a good point about having to cut
impedance transformation lines, even if I did use a physical 1/4 wave
offset.
I may build something to switch between both linear and circular
polarizations. I'm hoping to build the antennas in time for Field Day, so
I can do a satellite demo for my club.
Thanks again, and I hope to be able to work you on the sats soon!

Can anyone recommend a satellite app for Android phones? Preferably
something that shows where the satellite is above the horizon.
SkEye looks promising. I think that if I Velcroed my phone to the boom of
my Arrow antenna, the app would give me realtime feedback of where to point
the antenna. People use the app for pointing telescopes. That would be
greater precision than what I need.
The SkEye website says almost nothing about satellite tracking. From what I
can discern this function only exists in the paid version. ($6)

Mike,
Try AmsatDroid Free. A free tracking app, it has a crosshairs on
the screen with two circles. Top of the crosshairs is north, outer circle
is the horizon, inner circle is 45 degrees elevation, and the center
of the crosshairs is directly over you. I have used it on my Android
tablet (original Nexus 7) and phones (Nexus 4, 5, and 5X). A simple
app, but it works. You can manually enter your location, or let the
GPS or mobile network set it for you. Select a list of amateur
satellites to load into the app, and away you go...
73!

Heavens-Above is my favorite. Others like ISS Detector but it requires a
special paid addon to do ham sats (and other sats and astronomical objects
aside from the ISS).

Mike,I have an Android tablet and use both ISS Detector and Amsat Droid

Hi!
I will be giving presentations on satellite operating and AMSAT
at 3 different radio clubs in the next week...
Monday evening, 17 April 2017 - Mesa Community College Amateur
Radio Club (KM7CC) in Mesa, Arizona
Friday afternoon, 21 April 2017 - Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Amateur Radio Club (W6VIO) in Pasadena, California
Saturday morning, 22 April 2017 - Maricopa Amateur Radio
Association (WY7H) in Maricopa, Arizona
Meetings for these 3 clubs are open to the public. If you wish to
attend the meeting at JPL next week, please let me know or contact
the JPL club directly, so that JPL security is aware of your plans
to visit and will allow you on the JPL campus.
Along with the presentations for these 3 clubs, I hope to be able
to do demonstrations of satellite operating. If I am able to do
that, I'll probably operate under my WD9EWK call from these
locations. I'll try to post to the AMSAT-BB plans for the on-air
demonstrations, and those will definitely be available on my
@xxxxxx Twitter feed - visible in a web browser at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
If you hear me on the air from these meetings, please give me a
call and be a part of the demonstration. Any QSOs made as WD9EWK
at these radio club meetings will be uploaded to Logbook of the
World. QSL cards are available on request, without first sending
me a QSL card or SASE; please e-mail me with the QSO details.
These presentations, along with other presentations and hamfests
with an AMSAT presence, are listed on the AMSAT web site at:

Message to US Educators
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
Contact Opportunity
Call for Proposals
Proposal Window February 15 ? April 15, 2017
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 January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018. 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 April 15, 2017. Proposal information
and documents can be found at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.
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, NASA, and space agencies in
Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational opportunity by
providing the equipment and operational support to enable direct
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world via
Amateur Radio.
In the US, the program is managed by AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation) and ARRL (American Radio Relay League) in partnership with
NASA and
CASIS (Center for the Advancement of Science in Space).
More Information
Interested parties can find more information about the program at
www.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.
For proposal information and more details such as expectations, proposal
guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information Sessions go
