Keep tryng, youre gonna make it. What about trying to hold the beam in your hand? I better like that, as it helps making quick corrections on antenna position.
I did finally get it - I considered taking it off the tripod - but was having a hard time with the radio in one hand and the antenna in the other - I have a couple of ideas on improving the tripod thou.
I have been looking at least a 40 degree bird - I can pick them up at about 17 degrees....My first contact was at about 20 - 22 degrees...it was a max 74 degree bird. So yes I have been looking for the higher elevations. Thanks - 73s, LeRoy

Also, try only those with the best elevation. We are running only 5 watts here.
