Randy ND0C in National Contest Journal
by af5cc＠fidmail.com 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

I was reading the on-line version of the most recent NCJ (free to all ARRL members) and there was a very nice biography of Randy, ND0C in it! Much of the article was about his QRP activities but satellites were covered as well as KE0WPA's activities. If you are an ARRL member, be sure to check it out. The ARRL sends me an email every month with a link to their on-line publications, but I am sure there are ways to access it also from their website. It is a very well written article, and a nice way to learn more about one of our pre-eminent satellite rovers! 73 John AF5CC

Re: Ten Russian cubesats to be deployed from the ISS
by Nico Janssen 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

After their release the Russian cubesats send photos in SSTV Robot 36 mode. The data transmissions use AFSK at 1145 bps with non-standard tones. It is not easy to understand the voice messages. 73, Nico PA0DLO On 21-07-2022 16:54, Nico Janssen wrote: > > Some further information: > > "The mission of the satellites of the SWSU series: > Creation of a peer-to-peer information network.

External display for IC9700
by David G0MRF 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hi. I've recently started using N1MM together with a PC monitor, to enable a large external display for the 9700. Operating on a single band it's great, I can click on the waterfall and the radio moves to that QSO, you can even fine tune with the mouse wheel. But as soonas I change to satellite mode, the link between the computer and radio becomes unstable and fails after 5 seconds or so. Is this a known problem, or have I missed a setting or two in the radio set up menu? Thanks David G0MRF

3d Printable dual Ft-817 mount?
by Rich Gopstein 20 Jul '22

20 Jul '22

I took a look at Thingiverse and a couple of other sites, but I couldn't find a mount to attach two FT-817 radios together for satellite use. I've seen them around, so I'm assuming someone's made a public design. If I can't find one, I'll design my own, but I figured I'd try to find an existing one first. Thanks. Rich, KD2CQ
