@XareSoft Hi the programme for sat tracking was Ham Radio Deluxe

Did you follow any planes while making the QFH? I'd love to build my own, but most plans require the bending of copper pipe. I noticed your design was made of coax? If you could point me at a nice guide or such it would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers Josh

@Duckie4112 This is the version i constructed and use ...type in google QFH and look for the site by G4ILO..cheers Mark

Great stuff, Mark! You're exploring new "territories" in DXing... very interesting indeed. Cheers Matthias
