Shit, I was planning to work SO-50, but then no audio came out of my TH-D72 anymore. And of course, I didn’t have my hand mic with me… After looking into it, it turns out the speaker πŸ”ˆ had blown. πŸ™ˆ πŸ™ˆNow I’m looking for a new speaker. #hamradio #amsat

I want to make an overview for myself of how the Doppler effect works in satellite communications. In the meantime, I have created a one-page document with an explanation. I’d be happy to share it, so that others might find it useful as well… πŸ˜‰πŸ’ͺπŸ‘ #hamradio #amsat

Built an LHCP/RHCP and horizontal/vertical polarization switch. This is the 2m version now time to build a 70cm one. 🀣Building it yourself is way more fun than buying a switch! πŸ˜‰πŸ‘ #amsat #hamradio
