It's been great to see so\nmany stations work successfully through the 2m APRS digipeater, 2m\nAPRS-to-Voice engine, and 10m/70cm PSK31 transponder even with the\nsatellite's low orbit making things a challenge.\n\nOn my 10m uplink, I've been running 75w to a MyAntennas EFHW-8010 oriented\nSouth-to-North and located on the North side of my house about 4 meters off\nthe ground. Pretty much a worse-case scenario for communications to a\nsatellite so far to my South, I would think. This 130 ft. long-wire type\nof antenna was put up mainly for 80m NVIS work but does a great job on\nother bands as well. I think I'll put up some kind of vertical antenna for\n10m when time permits to see if that improves my coverage to the South.\n\nMy 70cm receive setup is better, although I should mention that I'm\nsurrounded by heavy tree cover. So, except at high elevations, I do much\nbetter in the Fall/Winter than during the Spring/Summer months. The 70cm\nantenna here is a Wimo X-Quad on an AZ-EL rotator and benefits from an\nSP-70 LNA at the base of the antenna.\n\nThe 10m/70cm PSK31 transponder on NO-84/PSAT, and now PSAT-2 is a great\nchallenge and a lot of fun to work. Let's hope the addition of another\nsatellite with this capability prompts more people to enjoy it!\n\n-Scott, K4KDR\n\n==============================\n\nOn Tue, Jul 9, 2019 at 2:57 AM Tomáš Urbanec via AMSAT-BB <\[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Hi all,\n> after our return from european field day this weekend, we sorted out\n> through all available receptions of PSAT2 telemetry and SSTV.\n> As very valuable source we use the SatNOGS observations.
