Pix are available upon request. I purchased this radio for Burning Man ops. It has 60M band and the DSP board installed. The remote mounting kit is included. I installed a IRC #720-F 2000 Hz SSB XTAL filter in the 455 kHz slot and a stable TXCO. Also included is an USB programming cable. All the accessories are unused. The original manual, untouched except to move it out of the way, and a loose-leaf binder with the slick, operation manual, XTAL filter specs and service manual will also be included.
The radio was powered up to program and check operation, then stored in my "Go Box". I labeled the I/O on the back panel to be readable from the top of the radio.
Any transmitting equipment will only be sold to a licensed amateur operator with a call sign verifiable in QRZ. If you wish to purchase this for a ham as a present, please contact me with their call and relationship.
I am asking $1000.00 USD OBO + S&H.
IMPORTANT!
I am unable to ship to a PO Box.

There I was standing on the side of the road on a breezy afternoon around 1930z. I had a piece of 3/4” 6061 in one hand and my PTT switch in the other with only my IC-910H at minimum power to keep me warm. I was listening to the sweet sound of noise at 145.938 MHz with an occasional “one two” to keep my manual tuning on track while I awaited for the sweet DX to get into the footprint.
Then you entered the scene pounding away with your CW and sweeping around demanding attention. You were as strong as an ox. You were splattering throughout the whole 60kHz of the passband, how could anyone miss you? And then as suddenly as you appeared there was utter silence. I mean, with that much power how could you not bring any bird to it’s knees?
Perhaps we can meet again sometime, maybe try QRP for a less dramatic entrance and we can have a chance to have a conversation.

Andrew Knafel, KN8FEL saw my videos and through our correspondence I
helped him learn how to operate satellites.
He and his family live in Ohio but regularly vacation at Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina. He has a long time friend who lives near Raleigh,
which is on the way to Myrtle Beach, who he usually stops to see.
Since he was in town we met up for an evening to play radio. We worked
four passes on four different satellites.
The highlight was making contact through a satellite while standing
mere feet away from each other. We actually did this twice on two
different satellites. :-)

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students
ARISS-US program’s education proposal window is open April 1 - May 15, 2019
March 24, 2019: The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program is seeking proposals beginning April 1, 2019, from US schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations (working individually or together) to host radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020.
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with learning opportunities about space technologies, communications, and much more through the exploration of Amateur Radio and space. The ARISS program connects students to astronauts on the ISS through a partnership between NASA, the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, the American Radio Relay League, other Amateur Radio global organizations and the worldwide space agencies. The program’s goal is to inspire students to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in Amateur Radio.
Educators report regularly that student participation in the ARISS program stimulates interest in STEM subjects and STEM careers. One educator wrote, “Many of the middle school students who took part in and attended the ARISS contact have selected science courses in high school as a result of that contact.” Educators are setting up ham radio clubs in schools and learning centers because of students’ interest.
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed, exciting education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications, wireless technology, science research conducted on the ISS, radio science, and other STEM subjects. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk directly to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions. ARISS will help educational organizations locate Amateur Radio groups who can assist with equipment for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students.
The proposal window opens April 1, 2019 and the proposal deadline is May 15, 2019. For proposal guidelines and forms and more details, go to: http://ariss-proposal-webinar-spring-2019.eventbrite.com
Proposal webinars for guidance and getting questions answered will be offered April 11, 2019 at 7 pm Eastern Time and April 16, 2019 at 9 pm Eastern Time. Advance registration is necessary. To sign up, go to https://ariss-proposal-webinar-spring-2019.eventbrite.com

Time for a spring time fly fishing / satellite roving trip in eastern
Wyoming. April 3rd I will be traveling through DN73 and DN83 and I will
try to work:
AO-92 18:27 utc
SO-50 18:55 utc
AO-91 19:31 utc
SO-50 20:37 utc
Some will be just DN73, some DN73/83 based on travel times.
I will be camping in Beulah, WY in DN74 which is very close to DN84. Plan
to work both vacation style, with DN84 mostly mid-day Thursday and Friday.
Mostly FM birds, and I hope to practice my SSB a bit while in camp.
Return passes through DN73 are unscheduled right now. I will try to post
here and on Twitter before leaving. Very limited internet access during
this trip.
Hope to get some of you some new grids from DN land.

Thanks Ron for the appreciative note. The payload is powered on now and the first reception reports from the locations I mentioned in my email is eagerly awaited.

Hi Nitin,
I'm slowly setting up for satellite
APRS as I believe it may be the
best option
for very short emcomm messages to/from our isolated
northern communities (HF has been useless at
the bottom of the solar
cycle). Another
APRS satellite is great news. Thanks!
