Hi All,
I've been inactive for several years now and have started to get the itch again to get back into doing some Amateur Radio related. I've often thought about trying to get on some of the linear and FM sats as apparently I live in a somewhat rare grid. EM23? Anyway I have a FT-897 and FT-857 that I plan to use along with a dual band arrow antenna that I used several years ago during field day one time. I have CAT cables for the radios on order for rig control. I will probably go with SATPC32 for software unless someone has an idea on something better but it needs to be PC based. Maybe free? Right now the plan is to either hold the arrow antenna or mount to a tri-pod. I need all of this to be as portable as possible as I am currently unable to setup a station at my QTH. Am I missing anything? Any suggestions?
