@m1acb You’ll probably be able to throw a QSL card to Michael GM5AUG and Kevan 2M0WMG who are on the Hebrides for the next few days @HebridesDx2024 if you’ve not worked them already
Friends of the SIDX group Michael #GM5AUG and Kevan #2M0WMG are on the isles Between Friday 26th April to Friday 4th May.
They plan on being active across multiple bands whilst visiting different islands.

@2m0sql That reminds me I need to reprogram now I've got my duplex hotspot to get handie reprogrammed and add in some more TGs like AMSAT and perhaps the Sota one too..
#NanoVNA arrived this morning, have to say I'm pretty impressed looking at it, just need to read a few guides to use it and I'm good to go!
Been a while since I've had some of my own test kit..

Really enjoying watching the colloquium so far today,
Reminds me of when I used to sit in with Dad (GM8SAU) at #ESA control room in early 90s doing deep space telecommunications on the projects (like Huygens) #AMSATUK#hamr#Satrllite#Space#Communications
The Online AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium has started.

Woo, just been awarded for decoding the SSTV broadcast from ARISS / RS0ISS which I managed to hear yesterday afternoon (04/10/20 12:33 BST)
#ARISS#RS0ISS#ISS#AMSAT#AMSATUK#HamSat#SSTV
Woo 2 Sat's in 2 days, good weekend 📡🛰️
Managed to get the ISS #SSTV#RS0ISS broadcast as it went overhead on a SE to NE pass
FT-817, Arrow antenna and SSTVdroid on tablet
#amsatuk#Hamsat#amsat#ARISS#ISS
Managed to hear SO-50 for the 1st time ever today, it had a great NW to SE pass over the UK around 12:30 (BST), unfortunately was quite a lot of activity.. didn't get through using a pair of FT817's and my new arrow antenna, Not bad for a first try🛰️
#AMSAT#SO50#HamSat#AMSATUK
So.. I went out and bought an Arrow II Portable Antenna Back Pack version, will see if I can have a listen at the weekend for some @AMSAT@AmsatUK satellites 📡🛰️ from JO02
#HamSat#ArrowAntenna
@shotofjagur@AMSAT@AmsatUK Well the idea is to listen first before transmitting to ensure you are hearing the sat/bird, something that a lot of people don't seem to do from the multiple posts I see about it 🤔😊
Register now for the AMSAT-UK Online International Space Colloquium which takes place Sunday, October 11.

Slow Scan TV #SSTV transmissions from the International Space Station #ISS expected on Wednesday and Thursday Sept 30/Oct 1 on a frequency of 145.800 MHz FM using PD-120.
Some information on receiving these images available at https://t.co/iwvf6F6AoB #space#amsat#hamradio#hamr
Should be a good opportunity to stick an antenna out the window and have a listen for #ARISSCrossband FM Repeater .. Might be lucky given the foul weather today 😉🎙️📡🛰️ #AMSAT#HamSat#AMSATUK
Tonight will be one of the best #ISS passes this week, at 19:56 (BST) west to east directly overhead south #UK. Crew will be troubleshooting a small leak on the @Space_Station again this weekend. Our Soyuz spacecraft is our lifeboat should anything ever go wrong. #space
Well gave it a listen and a quick shout (after thinking I was getting in) sadly no joy tonight, but not surprising, I was trying out a North facing window on a verticle laid out horizontal out the window 😂 with a pair of FT817's and a duplexer
@2m0sql @moonrakerukltd@AmsatUK Yeah quite likely... When there's stock again I'll be investing, the 2 individual beams I got are a bit difficult for handheld use lol
