The aerial suggested to be used for the reception may be enhanced by using a cross-yagi. It's been used for AMSAT/OSCAR amateur radio communication as preferred option, canceling out most of the polarisation loss due to satellite rotation/tumbling. The complexity on the aerial will increase, but it's a "passive" gain, where you will be able to get longer passages on each orbit, and also a steadier signal overall. | The aerial suggested to be used for the reception may be enhanced by using a cross-yagi.

We would need [http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/antenna planning permission] for the antenna (or more likely, antenna array). Would the landlords allow us to put this on the Hackspace roof? | |||
