Ed,
Congrats, it seems like you are in business if you heard the bird down to
the horizon. HO-68 is louder, in some cases much louder, than most of the
other sats, so check some others. If you can copy SO-50 to the horizon,
then leave your antenna alone, it's working great.
I measured a maximum of 20w directly at the antenna, and Elk claims a gain
of 6.6 dbd on 2m, which would mean an ERP of 90 watts. I do not need full
power at high elevations.
73, Bill NZ5N
