As I do not have a diplexer suitable for using with base station, Moxon Yagi is ideal as it has only one feedline. The VHF Moxon driven element couples passively with the 5 element UHF Yagi, which does not have a driven element. As I do not have an azimuth elevation antenna rotator which is also quite expensive, my friend told me to keep the antenna pointing towards the direction of the maximum Elevation Azimuth. In this way, it would cover almost 4 minutes of a satellite pass, which is good enough for me.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4103\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4103\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4103 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mozon-Yagi-mounted-on-push-up-mast-and-choke-coil-of-coax.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mozon-Yagi-mounted-on-push-up-mast-and-choke-coil-of-coax.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mozon-Yagi-mounted-on-push-up-mast-and-choke-coil-of-coax-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mozon-Yagi-mounted-on-push-up-mast-and-choke-coil-of-coax-1024x772.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mozon-Yagi-mounted-on-push-up-mast-and-choke-coil-of-coax-768x579.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Moxon Yagi with two Moxon VHF elements and 5 UHF elements coupling passively to the VHF driven element<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsat.org\/track\/\">Amsat webpage<\/a>\u00a0I noted that the upcoming International Space Station pass has a maximum elevation of 45 degrees. The corresponding azimuth was 226 degrees. I used the compass on the Heavens Above app to set the antenna direction prior to the pass and waited for the satellite pass. I set my dual band dual VFO full duplex radio for manual Doppler tuning as displayed live on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amsat.org.ar\/pass.htm\">Argentinian Amsat webpage<\/a> which I use for all my satellite work. I could see that the maximum elevation azimuth displayed there was same as the one which I had set. Two stations were received very well on the setup, but I could not access the repeater!<\/p>\n<p>On the previous day, I could hear several stations well on a higher elevation pass with the same antenna. Yet I could contact only a couple of them. But at that time, I had pointed the antenna towards the beginning of the pass, hoping to copy long distance stations with the new setup. Of course, the first station which I heard was one from nearly 1350 km and I was quite happy, though I could not work that station.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4124\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4124\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4124 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Moxon-Yagi-set-to-receive-International-Space-Station.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Moxon-Yagi-set-to-receive-International-Space-Station.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Moxon-Yagi-set-to-receive-International-Space-Station-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Moxon-Yagi-set-to-receive-International-Space-Station-1024x934.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Moxon-Yagi-set-to-receive-International-Space-Station-768x701.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Moxon Yagi setup to receive International Space Station<\/span><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Next pass available was Tevel 3 with maximum elevation 45 degrees.

I presume that there is some loose contact in the system. I quickly switched to the vertical antenna and could have a contact with one station, with difficulty.
