This was my first attempt at making contacts on amateur radio satellite AO-51 utilizing a Baofeng UV-3R handheld transceiver I purchased for $60 USD. I was at home in my maidenhead grid EM21hs. Antenna was the Arrow II split-boom model dual-band yagi.

  • @FOVIESG The antenna is a commercially available "Arrow II" split-boom, dual-band (70cm / 2m), cross-polarized yagi.

  • Did you succeed in transmitting? Making a qso or something?I have just programmed by UV3-R also. I am searching for an easy to build handheld antenna and some tutorials about working on satellites.

  • @YO8TJJ Yes, I have made several contacts via satellite with the UV-3R. The easiest antenna to build is either a homebrew ioIO antenna or the 2m tape-measure yagi.
