that's for sure.
A local ham who runs separate VHF/UHF radios in his vehicle with a dual band
5/8's mobile antenna works the space station and various satelites while
mobile all the time.
I mean he is actually moving when he does this not stationary.
So that gives you an idea of how easy it really is.
Also, the satelites that are on SSB can be worked with vertical antennas
once in a while.
The nice thing about working satelites and the space station is you really
don't need very much power.
5 watts is more then enough and sometimes less then that.
Most of the transmitters up there are running 1 watt or less.
