Alexander,
Your expectations are not high at all.
If you don't mind homebrewing, Kent Britain WA5VJB, has plans for an easy to
build (as evidenced by the fact that I built one) dual band yagi go says tha
works great. Cost me under $20.00 in parts and a few hours of time.
Go here for the plans:

Since Ham Radio cartoon funnies seem to be so hard to come by, I have been
making my own. I was hoping I could find out from you guy's what was the
OLDEST and BEST sat you all got to use so I could make them more
interesting...Basically lookin for the oldtimers fav, something before my
time if you will.
I know Amsat has good info on all of them, just do not know the right one or
one's to pick for my project.
I have had good feedback on them so far, I thought I might circulate them
publicly seeing how postage would get a little expensive...

AO-6 was the OLDEST I got to operate (actually it was the west-coast
command station). But BEST has to be AO-7 since it is still
perculating! FAVORITE was AO-40 mode US.

I forgot to mention that the command stations were very busy in the
first few weeks of AO-6 because we had to keep the transponder
turned-off to save the batteries. Unfortunately, this resulted in
QSO's being cut in half, because the bird lit up with activity every
time the Tx became activated. I'm sure I was not making friends!
This was from Barstow, CA and K6HIJ's front yard. We only ran as
command for about two weeks. This was probably 1972?

PS: Dick (K6HIJ-sk) and I were both members of sbms which made the
2.4 GHz beacon for AO-7 (which was never turned on). Dick was my
boss at Goldstone.

Hi Kevin, KF7MYK
Not including the SPUTNIC-1 beacon on 20 MHz the ECHO-1 beacon on 108.030
MHz and the moon on 70 cm EME the OLDEST communication satellite for me was
OSCAR-6 and the BEST for me was AO40 on mode U/S and L/S

Hi Graham, G3VZV
The extra flexible semi-rigid silver plated copper jacket coax cable with
the same outside diameter 0.86 mm of the RG-178 B/U is the type
UT 034-AG available at 29.7 Euro for 2.5 meters from the following
supplyer in Milano Italy
http://www.rfmicrowave.it/catalogue.php?lang=eng
The maximum bending radius is 9 mm but the bending is permitted only
one time.

All,
We are having a difficult time trying to restore AO-51 to operation.
Currently, the satellite will not retain the upload of the flight software
across eclipse. The batteries are in very poor condition. We have a few more
things to try, but with eclipses peaking around July at ~27 minutes, the
long term situation is grim. There is a brief period around November where
eclipses are as short as 16 minutes, but past that it is a long climb to 30
minutes or longer eclipses for many years. We have no expected "return to
service" date. If you have 9k6 digital capability, you can listen in on our
attempts at recovery on 435.150 on many passes over the US.
Please support AMSAT-NA and the other AMSAT groups around the world, and
help us get new satellites into orbit. Projects like Fox, FunCube, P3E, and
Kiwisat need your financial support to keep our amateur satellite fleet
flying.

Hi Drew & all,
I'm not 100% sure how the software uploads take place, however I have
a suggestion.
Would there be any benefit having one uplink station on the west coast
and another on the East coast, purely to allow the complete upload to
take place before an eclipse?
Perhaps the users of AO-51 would donate to a road-trip fund to send
one of the command stations /portable to a location of benefit to
assist ?
Just trying to think outside the box :-)
good luck with the uploads,
73
