Here's a set of plans for an easy to build cheap Yagi:
http://www.wa5vjb.com/references/Cheap%20Antennas-LEOs.pdf
I've built one (which testifies to the fact that it is easy to build!) and
it works like a charm. I've work SO-50 to within 5 degrees of the horizon.

The Kenwood is still for sale. I'm still unpacking from the move and found a
GPS and cable that I will add to the deal. The 910 has been sold. Thanks for
all the interest.

Subject: [amsat-bb] sat radios for sale
I'm putting my shack back together after moving into my new home and have a
couple of radio's I would like to sell. I'm not getting off the sats just
going to upgrade a bit. I should be back on in a week or so..
1.Icom IC-910. Extras include the 1200 mHz option, one AF DSP chip for the
RX, power cord, and new complete faceplate not yet installed. $1000 or best
offer.
2. Kenwood TH D7G. includes 2 batteries, drop in charger, and speaker hand
mic. While parts were available I replaced all the rubber and front plastic
on radio, thus it works, and also looks like new. $250 or best offer.
I have the manuals for the D7, and 910. No original shipping box for the
910. Price includes shipping CONUS. Reason I'm selling is I'm going to
upgrade to an Icom 9100, and the new Kenwood replacement for the D7.
I will also donate 10% net of the sale to AMSATNA.

Pete,
I would say that the latter is "most common", but you can always find
the current frequencies in use at the AO-51 Control Team website,

I just worked David on HO-68's transponder. I was portable at Green Key,
FL, a small island/point right on the Gulf of Mexico. HO-68 has an
amazing transponder. I started hearing signals at 0.3 degrees, and we
made our QSO at about 2 degrees on my end. My equipment was a FT-857
into a 5/8 wave vertical up, and the UHF half of an Arrow, ARR preamp,
and 817 down, all tuned by hand. David, sorry about the feedback, I
forgot my headphones. Thanks for the new grid!
