The Elk VHF/UHF Satellite log periodic for FM and SSB birds have all elements in the same plane and works as well as the Arrow II dual Yagi which have its VHF elements 90 degrees from the UHF elements. The Arrow II has build in 10W Diplexer which is not required by the Elk. Why does the Yagi require 90 deg phase polarization difference yet the Elk LPDA does not?
If certain rocket companies can offer direct very high speed internet direct services, why can't amateur radio satellites offer a similar high speed service for hams over the ham radio bands? Maybe have three of four LEO sats for hams. I'm talking about in the Mbps speed range, not the snail speed 9K6 or 19K2. What are we waiting for? Dean, CE4JDM
