#introduction Hi! We are members of #hackerspace wrocław and have various radio interests like #sota #pota #hamnet #amsat #digimodes #sstv #aprs #qrp #diy (and at least 2137 others...)
The #Ariane launch is going well - here booster separation from an onboard camera - and the #Athena webcast on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOPL8nhmQU4 has begun while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkRSWm0vAaM by #AMSAT-DL streams the signal live from a 20-meter dish in Bochum, Germany.
First trial reception of #fram2 #sstv on #iss by @ARISS_Intl ... Not a failure, but I would not call it a success either!

I made radio contact with cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, aboard the International Space Station, during the Yuri Gagarin International Contest #rs0iss #iss #space #hamradio #amsat

I was able to capture a couple of SSTV images on an 87* #ISS pass during the #ariss #SSTV experiment today (10/09/2024) at 2059 UTC over EM78ee

What are your favorite #hamradio satellites?
this is my config for tinygs :
board:
Heltec Lora32 433~510 V2 - SX1278
antenna:
home made Eggbeater II, inspired from K5OE
LNA gain: 20dB
Filter:
DIY helical BPF 3 orders. inspired from 2 orders BPF made by Z33T. insertion loss approx 1.08 dB (Starlink), 1.52dB (Swarm)
RF shielding case inspired fr OE6ISP
: DIY from cheap zinc plate
Others:
LM317 stepdown
from outdoor antenna to tinygs, i use 12 metre RG6 75ohm cable that commonly used for satellite tv.
If you are at #DEFCON, check out the #AMSAT #CubeSat Simulator at the Aerospace Village!
It will be part of RC Jones workshop “How to Corrupt Youth to Cyber Focused Space Science” on Sunday 8/11
https://www.aerospacevillage.org/defcon-32-workshop-schedule
There will also be a #CubeSatSim on display transmit UHF telemetry to a #RaspberryPi ground station and taking #SSTV selfies on 8/9 - 8/11
https://www.aerospacevillage.org/defcon-32-activites
For more info on this #OpenSource #STEM project see http://cubesatsim.org/wiki-beta
As of May the score remains the same 482/488 #6togo #amsat #gridmaster

Because of your toots, I just tried #APRS myself on a low #ISS pass too with just a handled radio and #aprsdroid .
I believe I messed up the message I should have sent.
Will try again on next pass.

I'm approaching working FM satellites for the first time and I am not sure what sats to track and try to receive. Is there any updated list of active FM sats somewhere? Any tips on what to try first?

"Why is the [#hamradio] hobby dying? Because a bunch of cantankerous old men demean and condemn the new and exciting and cutting edge aspects of amateur radio that made it so interesting in the first place. And are super vocal about it."
-from an email I received about a big new movement in citizen science radio work.
Next July, I'll be helping these people put on a really nice event.
A lot of us have left amateur radio, but haven't forgotten what amateur radio was supposed to be about. All of us - and a growing number of organizers and leaders - are thinking much broader and much more inclusive, picking up #opensource teams, industry groups, and authentically and kindly serving people that legacy and traditional organizations have forgotten, hate on, or outright exclude.
On the "naughty list" are #ARDC, #ARRL, and #AMSAT. Odd how they all start with the letter "A".
I did my first grid-line satellite rove today to give @WB7VUF EM35. That puts him 3 away from GridMaster! Also had a nice QSO with @N0GVK but couldn’t raise anyone else. Neither needed EM34, so working the line wasn’t necessary but was fun anyway.
Rig: IC-7705 (IC-705 on receive and IC-7000 on transmit)
Antenna: Arrow II
Maybe I need to put all my blogger essays on Medium?
It's been a long strange trip.
Bizarro behavior from #AMSAT. Bizarro behavior from a CalTech employee who freaked out over a woman putting together a ham radio exam for a volunteer fire department. Dark Crystal Sketsi powermongers at #ARRL. And. the hyperventilating cash humpers at various companies and ham clubs frantically chasing windfall cash from ARDC, who secretly sold one of the best community assets #hamradio had.
Another long over using a proprietary codec. #amsat #hamradio https://youtu.be/BYDvJlDQKn8
