Glad Leo (W7JPI) was your first contact. Great ham, I've contacted him many times.

I am using a pair of eggbeaters on a common boom .the mast mount preamp is an Icom AG-35 and the the feedline is LMR 400. mine is a simple setup but not as effective as a dual band hand held and an arrow. you can track the bird using the arrow as a turn style type antenna and hold it for a much longer period of time. the astronomer N1ASA uses this setup most effectively as do a lot of other hams.on a good pass your lucky to squeeze about 3 contacts from the eggbeaters.good luck on the LEO sats

Good job..totally exhilirating when making the first contact. I remember mine well.
The adrenaline still kicks in even today after making hundreds of contacts using my 2 trusty HT's, a homebrew arrow or the now famous ( at least in Europe ) IOio loop ant from EA4CYQ
Welcome to the world of Satellite may you have many many more contacts and hours of fun

Youre totally right. After all a pass last about 10 minutes. And holding the antenna with hand makes it a lot easier to change polarisation.

Nice video. Good job getting on satellite. I just built my own antenna so I hope to test it out on a good pass of AO-51. 73, KD7MNI.

The Arrow antenna, Actually has a Tapped handle. if you take the foam thing off, there are tapped holes that a normal tripod mount for a camcorder or camera will simple screw into.
Ive actually found I have a harder time with the tripod then just holding the thing up.
