Wow, building antennas on Saturday to fully licensed Tech on Monday. Way to go, Carrie! Greg KO6TH Orion - AI6JB wrote:

Hi folks, Reminder for tonight: Space Station pass visible at 8:46pm. Listen to the cross-band repeater on 437.800, adjusting slightly +/- for Doppler. You'll start 10khz high (437.810) as the Station

Hi Dave, Ha! Good observation powers. I uploaded a larger view of the station (NC station # 05), so you can see the whole setup. It's copied here, but we don't save images in the messages section, so

Hi folks, Fun event, for sure! A lot of noise when the bikes were around (and these were supposedly the quiet ones), but very peaceful when they weren't there. Light breeze, periods of direct sun but

Possible, but kind of unlikely that it's related to that station. I suspect all AM stations come in a bit louder over the bridge, and that might make for an interesting test. Could just be a differenc

Good info, Jef. I am running a 5/8 wave J-pole for my packet station, and it works pretty well. A follow-up to the satellite question.. One generally wants some sort of gain, such as a small beam. Sat

Hi Alan, Looks pretty clean, at least for those ports. Good start! Looking back to the router settings, it's really odd that they are using a 10 bit subnet mask. That's a huge subnet! I'm guessing tha

Hi Chris, A follow-up. There will be a "Telebridge" school contact on Monday (3/22) at 11:27am Pacific, between the ISS and a school here in California. Due to the timing, the Ham part of the contact

Hi Chris, I've not done a formal school contact, but I expect your plan to start with satellite contacts is a good one. Choices for all-mode Ham transceivers suitable for operation through satellites

Thanks, Carl. Interesting video. I can attest to her frustration with local RFI wiping out the AM band. You can really hear it when the car goes into regenerative breaking, since it starts pushing a l
