I've made some satellite contacts using a Pryme AL-800 whip on the D7,
but not with PCSAT for which I used an Arrow II. Also I did not use the
whip vertical but mostly pointing from horizontal to almost directly at
the ground. Good luck doing that on a moving motorcycle! Now maybe if
someone else is driving it and you are just hangin' on for dear life on
the back seat... Be careful though...<br>

<pre wrap="">I've been trying to hit PCSAT with a D7. Apparently, the rubber duckie isn't enough wire. Will a telescoping whip do any better?
KB9GVR has been having some success.
My goal is to send it an APRS packet from a moving motorcycle, so big antennas are out of the question. I almost managed it back in January.
