The most basic form of repeater receives communication on one frequency and re-transmits it on a different frequency, a process known as duplex communication. This capability significantly extends the range of handheld and mobile radios, as repeaters are typically situated at elevated locations with high-gain antennas and greater transmit power. Repeaters commonly operate with FM modulation on the VHF (30 MHz – 300 MHz) and UHF (300 MHz – 3 GHz) amateur bands, which are ideal for portable and mobile devices. Access to repeaters is often controlled by a CTCSS or PL tone, an inaudible signal that prevents the repeater from retransmitting background noise. This mechanism ensures efficient use of the frequency and prevents illegal continuous transmission. Canadian regulations, for instance, require an Advanced amateur radio license and an available frequency within the band to set up a repeater, each assigned a unique call sign and transmit frequency. Configuring a radio for repeater use involves knowing the repeater's transmit frequency, its receive frequency offset (e.g., -600 KHz for VHF or +5 MHz for UHF), and the necessary CTCSS tone. The article references resources like Repeater Book for locating repeaters and provides practical examples for initiating and concluding a basic repeater session, emphasizing clear identification and concise communication.

Operating amateur radio satellites presents unique challenges, particularly concerning antenna design and signal propagation. Juan Antonio Fernández Montaña, EA4CYQ, recounts his three-year journey into satellite communication, starting with initial guidance from EB4DKA. His early experiments involved a portable 1/4 wave VHF antenna with four 1/4 wave ground planes, designed for hand-held use to adjust polarity. This setup, paired with an FT-3000M transceiver, allowed full-duplex operation on **VHF** transmit and **UHF** receive, proving effective for early contacts on satellites like AO27, UO14, and SO35. EA4CYQ's experience highlights the critical role of coaxial cable loss and antenna polarization. After encountering significant signal degradation with longer RG213 runs, he experimented with a 1/2 inch commercial cable, noting improved reception but persistent fading due to varying satellite polarities. This led to the construction of an **Eggbeater II** antenna, an omnidirectional UHF design offering horizontal polarization at the horizon and circular right polarization at higher elevation angles. Subsequent modifications resulted in the directional **TPM2** antenna, which provided sufficient gain for LEO satellites with a wide 30-degree lobe, enabling consistent contacts from his home station. The article concludes with practical insights on the performance of the Eggbeater II for both UHF and VHF, and the TPM2 for UHF, emphasizing their utility for portable and fixed operations. EA4CYQ's journey underscores the iterative process of antenna development and the importance of adapting designs to overcome real-world propagation challenges in satellite communications.
