@wd9ewk Good, good ... I see you are using your usual NASA crawler-transporter to support your orbital operations ...

@va3db @wd9ewk @DO2SGF It was only a glimmer, though. Eventually the non- was beaten down. I ended my rotating editorship of ANS & didn't renew my AMSAT-NA membership. I always use the NA to differentiate that bunch from the other AMSATs.

I've also not made a QSO since, either, which is not a good thing. I just don't want to be reminded of their existence by hearing certain callsigns. Once we get settled north of the Medicine Line (later this year), that will change.

@N4JAW Someone, and I'm not naming names, but *someone* needs a BlueTooth mic adapter. 🙂

I'm about to spam the and tags with a few mostly unrelated questions which I've written down over the last few months since getting my license, and which I haven't been able to find complete or understandable (by me) answers to.

Number One:

Will contacting the and -ellites be easier with a portable setup, a decently-powerful radio, and a yagi I can point, or by an over-powered base station setup? You decide what "easy" means here.

Getting the FT-1836 (2x FT-818) ready for some field activations. MacDoppler driving the radio VFOs and the 3D printed rotator no problem. Depending on location I’ll change between hand holding the arrow antenna and clamping it in the rotator.
Just have to 3D print some side panels and do some cable management before taking this all out to the field…

@ai6yr Wow! I thought it had de-orbited - guess not! Like AO-7, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking ...

@g7ufo Limiting, yes, but not ... impossiblating ... is that a word? Is now. Anyway, I encourage you to make calls. 9700 is "FDX" so if you can hear your downlink, so can others.

@Ea5iyl I have made QSOs from the car using a dual-band 1/4 wave (SSB-1NMO) & ~30W up. Keep trying & remember that more of your signal will be towards the horizon not straight up.

@wd9ewk Yes, & I was an enthusiastic follower of the Foxes for most of that campaign but then ... Have Qs through 50, 29, but not 7. All this talk is making me want to get the antennas (0 deg el) back in shape & at least listen if not make QSOs.
