In my quest to build out capabilities, I've been looking at semi-portable antenna setups.
I home brewed the "AMSAT" cheap satellite antennas, using foam and aluminum wire to actually get on the air with a couple of Baofeng HT's last year.
I eventually upgraded and setup my home station with an FT-736R, FT-817 and an Elk dual band log periodic antenna.
However, my brother W1GGM/7 just "bequeathed" (no, he has not passed on just yet... ) a
Yaesu G500A elevation rotor! One half of the AZ-EL equation for base operation!
Therefore, I'm going to be looking into some kind of antenna tripod, azimuth rotor and dual antenna (likely) arrangement and try to match this up with SatPC32!
Great, more projects :D
