Video Description

I tried a couple new antennas for dual-band satellite operations, including the Arrow II and a DIY tape measure Yagi-Uda. While my homemade version was able to hear OSCAR-7 and the ISS, I didn't have much luck transmitting with it. The Arrow worked really well for both transmitting and receiving, and after a few tries I was able to contact several people through the station repeater. Thanks to Arrow for sending me their dual-band antenna to try out!
