Satellite Communication

I have just begun the space communication in November 2005. Since I live in an apartment house and I can not set up the permanent antenna, an arrow antenna is the one of the best antenna for a space communication for me.
I set the arrow antenna to a tripod and set it up at a balcony when I QRV. I am using FT-857D as a transmitter and FT-817ND as a receiver from my house and FT-7800R as a transmitter and VX-2R as a receiver in my car. I am active on AO-7, AO-27, FO-29, SO-50, AO-51, and VO-52.
