Just finished building an iGate using a Raspberry Pi, RTL-SDR dongle, and an image file from qso365.com. Just had to configure a couple of parameters for Direwolf and set the frequency for the SDR, and it's on the air. Currently using an Eggbeater for the antenna.

These are the Satellite APRS Packets provided in July 2019 per Callsign + SSID. I am always curious about station setup: antenna, radio, TNC, iGate software, altitude, location, etc. I have been considering reaching out to each operator to gather specs.
This topic might make a neat article for AmSat, ARRL, or similar magazine.
