Observation 1044185: HORYU 2 (38340)

Your antenna is not good for satellite observation, a lot of station use VHF Turnstile antenna.

My antenna in first test made with my children :

Simply 1.5 mm² electrical wire.
8 wires of 1 meter folded at 75 / 25 cm

Top and bottom :
Wire it’s not connected to each other.

For center :
I made a loop with a piece of copper wire around the support where I soldered the red wires and another for the blue wires. The loops are spaced 5 mm, there is no contact between them,
connected the red wires to the center of the coax and the blue wires to the ground coax.

For a good mechanical resistance, I pierced top and bottom to get the wires into the support and I fixed with a glue gun

After test, i’ve fixed center with glue gun to avoid oxidation.
Aluminium or inox can be use instead of electrical wire for best kept in time.



5 meters above the ground
