[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1043972, member: 369937"] Using a ham antenna, it's called a GP-9 made by Comet, it's for the VHF/UHF ham bands but worked, it's vertically polarized but picked up the satellite just fine as it went over. [code]https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/cma-gp-9[/code] The satellite (GOES 19, or NOAA 19) passed directly overhead, I should look for one that's off to one side or the other. I will look into making up the antenna that Analoguesat put together, it's closer to the correct frequency and horizontally polarized. I think the problem I may of had as to why it's so fuzzy is that the Yaesu FT-847 has a selectable band DSP audio processor in it, I will play around and see whats best for these birds. [/QUOTE]
