NO-84 PSK31 on Field Day
Is anyone planning to work the NO-84 PSK31 transponder during Field Day?
Even if you don't have two way capability from your Field Day satellite station, it would be fun to team up with your digital op and have them uplink while you receive and then shout back and forth the details for the QSOs. If you aren't in shouting distance, you could always coordinate via HTs.
Remember that for AMSAT Field Day, digital contacts are worth three points each, but you're only allowed one QSO on each active digipeater. You can make as many QSOs as you want on the NO-84 PSK31 transponder.

Paul,
Unfortunately we will not be in the foot print long enough to work each other, but there is a pass here in the West right at 1800utc. If someone is going to be on the satellite, I can be there also. (10m band conditions permitting )
A couple of suggestions:
1. Use the DopplerPSK V:0.2 program to transmit. 2. Update the TLE's in the program. 3. Set up a Field Day Satellite macro. Hopefully a terrestrial PSK-31 station won't try to go back to you on 10 m.
Here is what I plan to use for the macro;

Good luck....
