Snooping On US & Russian Satcom With Military Surplus Antenna

I've looked at US Military Satcom before in prior videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT2i7mFpFxM), but now I have a legit Satcom antenna to play with! This is on loan from a viewer (thanks!). It's a Trivec-Avant circularly-polarized Yagi-Uda design, also known as an X-Wing antenna. These are pretty expensive on the used market, and I'm not good enough at antenna design to build my own, so I really appreciate the loan!
