Surely though a tuned whip antenna would be OK if the satelite is overhead.
I'm just guessing though, I don't know too much about this subject although
I would like to learn. Also I have asked a number of times about Keplar
tables as I do not have a clue what they are, but I have never received an
answer. Perhaps you can help...
I would really like to get stuck into this subject. I have JVFAX and
a computer, the radio is a problem at the moment. I was thinking about
a scanner. Would that do?.
Thanks.
