May I request a new award program? TotA - Tractors on the air. Or /TM as @carsten-oz9aar.bsky.social suggested.😝
We used my tractor to mount the antenna.
Find us as #DA0UDS in the DARC VHF/UHF/SHF Contest. The first proper contest of our uni group
Also got some spare ones for our amateurradio group at my Uni
Replaced the #Kathrein duplex filter in my modded #Siemens C5 with a PCB designed by #DL8SDL in 2001. I found his schematic, ported it to a modern PCB stackup and updated some components.
RX/TX isolation > 30 dB, PA/Ant < 0.7 dB loss😊

Just worked 5B4AOB @m0giw.bsky.social in Cyprus 🇨🇾 (Gridsquare: KM64EV / distance: 2626.6 km) on RS-44 🛰️ (23.1° el / 166.4° az) using SSB
Thank you David for a new DXCC on LEO in a long time✌️

Hey, do you mind arranging a sked? I still need 5B4 on LEO😁
Last year using Zenith Satellite Tracker & QTRigDoppler i managed to aquire
- 197 Days of satellite recordings
- 18 Unique Satellites
- 1285 Recordings
- Total Duration: 258h 38m
The old CRT has quite some burn-in😄
Finally finished my CRT to LCD conversion on my #HP #8594E spectrum analyzer. The LCD is a little larger and much brighter. Under the hood it uses a 5,6" LCD, GBS8200 video converter and an #esp8266 with gbs-control to convert the HP video signal.

Just worked WT8D in EN55 and AA8CH in EN63 in United States Of America 🇺🇸 on RS-44 🛰️ using SSB
Thank you for the new grids

HyGain AR-40 rotator on a 3d printed mount next to an ESP32 dev board
A quick test using an ESP32 three phase inverter dev board as a VFD to control my HyGain AR40 rotator. Looks like a promising solution to use it portable without the need for a bulky control box or an ac supply.

Anyone got a schematic of this #hp #84812a peak power sensor? The service manual I got has no schematic in it.🙃
#hewlettpackard #amateurradio
In theory my #QTRigdoppler version should now be fully working with the #icom #ic9700 as well.
As I don't have one at hand, I'd love to get your feedback:

Just worked SV5/DJ5MN/P in Dodecanese (Gridsquare: KM46 / distance: 2285.6 km) on RS-44 🛰️ (56.1° el / 70.3° az) using SSB #hamr #wavelog #amsat
Just worked EA7/F4DXV in Spain 🇪🇸 (Gridsquare: IM96 / distance: 1583 km) on SO-50 🛰️ (47.9° el / 42.5° az) using FM #hamr #wavelog #amsat
Thank you Jérôme for the new grid! Enjoy the beach!
Just worked VE3GOP/VY0 in Canada 🇨🇦 (Gridline: FP77,FP87 / distance: 4272.4 km) on SO-50 🛰️ (7.9° el / 329.8° az) using FM #hamr #wavelog #amsat
Thank you Alex for the contact!
Just worked TF/M0NKC/P @kconkas.bsky.social in Iceland 🇮🇸 (Gridsquare: IP13 / distance: 2118.5 km) on RS-44 🛰️ (19.5° el / 320.2° az) using SSB #hamr #wavelog #amsat
Thank you @carsten-oz9aar.bsky.social for the moral support while repairing😝✌️
An HP 8594E spectrum analyzer with its calibrator output connected to its input
Two weeks ago I got this broken #HP8594 #spectrum #analyzer at #HAMRADIO fair in #Friedrichshafen
After a long night, multiple filter alignments and my own "interpretation" of the service manual, the unit is back alive⚡
Now I need a GPIB adapter & sig gen as well😝
#hp #radio
Yes, use it or lose it.. every #hamradio Operator needs to act!🎙📡〰️📻 🛰 Get ready and send interference reports if you have them. Don't forget Bluewalker-3 and Bluebird 1-5, which are already transmitting on 430-440 MHz. Expect no help from anybody else than yourself!
Results from my short trip to 🇱🇺 as LX/DL3JOP:
➡️33 QSOs on #RS44, #JO97, #MO122 and #SO50
Thank you for the contacts! I'll upload to LoTW asap, I'm waiting for the certificate.

I was looking for an #icom #IC2725 for quite some time. Got a very good deal on this broken unit🤑. Two new PNP transistors, some cleaning and new thermal paste later, it runs like on the first day😁

Joshua sitting at a booth of a student group at the unis open day, holding three radios at once.
Had quite a bit of fun presenting our university radio club today.
Operating three radios at once turned out to be more challenging than expected!😝
#hamradio #university #amateurradio
You're welcome, thanks for the QSO😀 I can sent you the recording if needed😆
Thanks to @2m0sql.com my #QTRigdoppler fork now supports Yaesu rotators and a websocket integration.
I added binaries so everyone using Linux can test it just by downloading and starting the app with their IC-910 or IC-9700.
github.com/dl3jop/QTrig...
Added a feature I miss on both of my #icom #ic910: Data VOX!
A small circuit triggers the PTT when audio from the computer is present. Added a switch as well to disable it😊
That will make life easier for datamodes on satellite😊

Got my first part from JLCCNC
A 250 Watt RF resistor case.
A nickel strip is used to connect to the N socket.
Usable up to 70cm. RL on 23cm is only 15 dB, Z matches the datasheet, so I guess the feed is fine and I need a better R
Tnx @carsten-oz9aar.bsky.social for your ideas😁✌️
