<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>Diana Eng KC2UHB</STRONG> has developed a
collapsible fabric Yagi for portable amateur radio satellite
operation.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>In MAKE: magazine she writes</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>One of my favorite ham radio activities is making contacts
on satellites. It's really fun to know that you're controlling something that's
receiving and sending communications from space. But communicating with
satellites means carrying a big Yagi antenna around. So, I decided to use my
fashion sewing skills to make a collapsible fabric Yagi antenna that's much
easier to transport.</FONT></P>
