Hi Jerry,
I worked for more than 10 years with Wimo X-Quads (and only 25 watts).
Polarization was hardwired to RHCP.
These antennas are very compact - the floor space/performance ratio cannot
be beaten.
All my satellite activities / reception of telemetry since 1996 I have made
with this antennas and I was very satisfied.

Hello all,
I fully agree with Mike. They are very compact but good antennas. I achieved
ZRO level 8 on both, 2m and 70cm, using each time a single X-Quad. Based on
their size they can be easily mounted foremast without distortion of the
polarization ...
My antennas are presently down because of some reconstruction work around my
home, but you can find some pictures and description on my homepage at
www.dd1us.de (including a description how to switch them from LHCP and
RHCP).
Best regards
Matthias DD1US

Hi, Dave
I'm using them, and at first I powered them up the coax from my FT-847.
I then went and connected a 2M bandpass filter to get rid of some 2M
crud in my area, and didn't check if the filter had the center pin of
the coax at DC ground or not. It did, and I popped the transistor that
switches the voltage to the coax.
Now I power them with separate power, using some "paired" red/black
cable soldered in to a PL-259. I use an RG-58 adapter, as that takes up
some of the excess space where the relatively small wires go into the
back of the plug, and also provides a nice, rounded edge for the wires
to rest against so the sharp edge of the PL-259 won't cut the insulation.

Dave,
I have a pair and in my case they are powered right up the coax to
the rig by the IC-910H. They are very good, albeit expensive preamps,
and they make a huge difference for my setup, as I have a 150 foot run
of rg-8 to the antennas.

I use them as well, and REALLY like them. At Field Day, for simplicity,
I power them up the coax from the IC910. Home station, they get
separately powered through a sequencer.

I have both the 2000 and 7000. They are powered up the coax with two
home made DC power inserters in the shack.

that turned on. I was really impressed with the strength of the downlink

Hi,
Jamie, KB3QLK, will be doing a demo(s) for his club during Winter Field Day
this Saturday-Sunday (30-31). He will be operating the birds using his
personal call before the event, then he will be using the club?s call,
KB3BHL, during the event. This will be a good opportunity for any stations
(especially the western stations) to work DE for WAS.
Good luck with the QSOs!

The ARRL does a nice job of spelling out the parameters here:
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/LoTW%20Instructions/N5JB.pdf
The band that matters ( according to the ARRL ) is the band you transmit on,
not the band you receive on.
Here is the data you need to log the contact and have it count in LOTW
<CALL:6> [The Station You Worked]
<QSO_DATE:8> [YYYYMMDD]
<TIME_ON:6> [HHMMSS] in utc
<BAND:4> [The band you transmitted on]
<MODE:3> [SSB, CW, FM, etc.]
<PROP_MODE:3>SAT
<SAT_NAME:4> [The bird you used]
<EOR>
Please n helpful
tips for getting it started would be appreciated.
73!
