can't wait for part 2!

I LITERALLY just bought one of the Arrow antennas to use for Field Day! 🙂 - And like you, I've beem running fixed polarization (vertical in my case) for satellite operation, with the resultant fading issues you mentioned, so I'm VERY interested in seeing how your project turns out, I may do the same! 73, Tom WA1LBK

Hello Alex, Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant and so straightforward. Subbed and waiting for part 2.

Thank you for sharing and that is just awesome what you built. I look forward to your testing.

Great project and thanks for sharing and taking us along on your journey

Amazing project Alex!

This is EXACTLY what I am working on! Thank you! You saved me a lot of time and money :-Dn Hope to see you on the satellites! K9EZ

ooooh... those nice switch kit seem awesome ! great finding !!

Awesome video and build looking forward the 2nd installment!

Thanks Pablo, your encouragement is greatly appreciated.

Very nice! I just received my antenna rotator from Sarctrac in Australia. It’s a wireless rotator that does azimuth and elevation. I will be using a dual band elk log periodic beam antenna. I am also waiting for a wireless controller and a stepper motor that will enable me to adjust for horizontal and vertical polarization. I will post a video when I get this project together.

Sounds fancy, have fun!

Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

Beautiful.

Very nice project. I'll follow it! 73

I can't wait for the satellite hunt!. 73DX!

Fantastic!

Congratulations on this very interesting project. I'm looking forward to the second part. 😀 vy 73 de Andreas, dl5lc

Oh, now I see there is another video on your channel...

Is part 2 out there 🤔

it will work that is what I have for LEO's WB5MZO

Cool!

Great video .i wish I had friends that gave away 2 x£350 worth of preamps.

Very glad I found your channel. Great video, very impressive hope to make contact with you on the satellites. I've been thinking about installing an HF beam under my antennas like the 6 meter one you have and was wondering if they would interfere with each other. I have subscribed and looking forward to more videos.

Thanks for the kind note, glad you liked the video. The antennas probably do interfere with each other, but there are a lot of compromises I've accepted in this setup. I'm sure there are calculations or simulations you can use to avoid any interference if you're very concerned. In my case it hasn't stopped me from reaching VUCC on 6m and satellite.

Great video! Lots of great info.. Do you have a write up on the project? Wondering if you jotted down a bill of materials and such? I have the “Alaskan” Arrow and was thinking of buying a second and doing the mods to make one for UHF & the other for VHF, like yours. :)

Nice one Alex, I’ll be watching this with much interest as I’m planning on a portable EME system to get away from all the QRM at my home QTH. I wonder if you’ve considered scaling this up at some point for EME/p cheers and 73, Richard. G0NAD

I'm glad you asked, I've been slowly assembling an EME station for a couple years that will be portable and mounted to a trailer. I plan to start with a 6' dish on the 23cm band. But I'm also considering a 2m or 70cm build. I have lots of ideas but never enough time! I've been blown away with the amount of interest in this project though and will be diligent about making KZread videos on all my future projects.

Need to explain about the phasing of the ant

Very cool I am dreaming of something like that in my futur., Question I have a similar set up but with one 2m arrow vertical and one 70cm amazon brand yagi horizontal. I noticed your gamma match are upwards and not downwards. I have mine mounted downward is that a flaw in my install?? Thanks

Yes, all other things being identical, bigger is always better.

Of course, but what about when other things are not identical? Spoiler alert: bigger is still better. Part 3 coming soon with my conclusions.

👀👀👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦

Nice setup. Not for me, too pricey.

I agree it is an expensive setup which probably doesn't make sense if I was buying everything new. I've been very fortunate to know local hams who enjoy my antics, and they have generously donated some of the high value parts like the G-5400 rotor and preamps. Also this setup is really just an experiment and I wouldn't really suggest others copy it. I've been distracted with other projects recently and behind schedule for posting an update but I will address all of this in the future. Thanks for watching!

The phasing kits look good but using BNC plugs….uggg.

Nice set up. I have just started homebrewing antennas, now into second step of 7 el VHF Yagi, yet to complete it (kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGSimLR-Y8rdf6Q.html). Subscribed to your channel so that I can come back and look again when my homebrewing skills improve enough to go for arrays!

Showoff 😂

да не нужны две поляризации.через спутники и так связь 100% зачем такие сложности?
