Building the UHF Cheap Yagi for Satellite Communication

Make 1000 two-way contacts with any station on any satellite

A 7 dB directional gain is reported for this portable VHF Yagi antenna design, which utilizes cut metal tape measure sections for its elements. The resource details the construction process for a 2-meter band antenna, emphasizing its ease of build and portability. It specifically mentions the design's suitability for radio direction finding (RDF), fox hunting, and communication with satellites and the International Space Station (ISS), highlighting its practical applications for amateur radio operators. The construction cost is estimated at under $20, with potential for even lower expense if salvaged materials like old tape measures and PVC pipes are used. The article references _Joe Leggio's_ (WB2HOL) original design, noting specific alterations made by the author. It also compares this design to other DIY Yagi antennas, including _FN64's_ 2-meter band and _manuka's_ 70-cm band tape measure Yagis, underscoring its unique combination of simplicity, portability, and effective performance with a 1:1 SWR achievable on the 2-meter band.

Radio amateurs worldwide are being asked to help collect data from the student-built SSETI Express satellite, due to be placed in orbit on 27 September. To encourage them, ESA’s Education department has organised two competitions and is supplying free downloadable software.

The _Fuji-OSCAR 20_ (FO-20) amateur radio satellite, launched over six years prior, continues to operate reliably, despite a gradual decrease in its Nickel-Cadmium storage battery capacity and solar cell degradation. The satellite's power system can still supply approximately **10 W**, enabling operations. During the non-eclipse period, typically from mid-June through March, the satellite experiences a 0% eclipse rate, ensuring sufficient power generation. This allows for the potential operation of the onboard BBS, which had been previously suspended due to concerns about power shortages. An "eclipse rate" refers to the proportion of time a satellite spends in the Earth's shadow during each orbit. When the satellite's orbital plane is perpendicular to the sun's direction, the eclipse ratio becomes zero, meaning continuous solar illumination. Understanding these eclipse periods is crucial for managing satellite power budgets and scheduling operations, particularly for power-intensive functions like the BBS, which can now be considered for activation during periods of sustained solar exposure.
