Working The Sats
In this photo I am using a Yaesu VX-170 with a 2 meter whip for uplinking, and for the downlink I am using a Icom R5 receiver directly coupled to a CJU 70 cm antenna.
Attached to the wrist of my right arm is my smartphone running AmsatDroid for tracking the Satellite.
When working the birds with a minimalist system such as this, its important to keep your uplink antenna perpendicular to the satellite being worked throughout the complete pass.
