Today I built and compared two 70 cm antennae against various satellites.
The first antenna was a RHCP helix with 9 turns
The second antenna, a 8 element quagi. (vertically)
The clear winner was the helix.
Anyone had similar experiences ?
I remember way back about 10 years ago, i built a quad with a metal boom,
and it picked up better side on. (not good)
I have kept to an 8 element quad on 2meters, it is really good.
I can key up a repeater some 150 km's away and i am in a ditch.
