Why not take a break from HF propagation problems and try working some of the amateur radio satellites?  Many of these new satellites are based on the successful SO-50 design and can be worked with simple antennas and basic VHF/UHF equipment.

In this video, Dave Tadlock (KG0ZZ) show us how to build a sturdy, portable satellite antenna that has dual band (2 meter/70 cm) capabilities.  You can mount the antenna on a tripod or hold it in your hand as you pick out the satellite you wish to use.

Dave takes us step-by-step from the design and construction phase all the way to the testing and use procedure.  This dual band satellite antenna is suitable for both home and portable use.
