Interested in most all aspects/modes of amateur radio. Also @[email protected] EM34 is home, but EM35,44,45 are all close for sat roving.

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

I still need these states for Sat WAS: DE,KS,LA,MA,ND,NJ,NM,RI,VT,WV,WY

My schedule makes it hard to ask for skeds, but I'd love to know who is active and on what birds to listen for them. (Not really active on GC right now so prefer LEO where possible)

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@WD5GRW Thanks for EM43 and for bearing with me!

@KJ5Z_Michael We were manually tuning with an 817 up and a Malahit DSP2 down so we had the advantage of a waterfall.

@KJ5Z_Michael Also, I was assisting NG5P with his contact with you yesterday. I think it was his second linear contact. Trying to get him hooked. He’s close.

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@KJ5Z_Michael I now just need: DE, KS, NJ, RI, and WY

@W6IARadio @KC7MG Thanks for the new grid!

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@mightyohm No, but I should. I used to when I paid extra to get the printed copy in addition to QST. When all ARRL mags became available online, I stopped. Now that QST it is extra for a print copy, I don’t even read QST. I’m not against reading them electronically, I just forget to.

@dtabor @_wa1jay_ After roving a little, I can understand how it isn’t hard. This was just a lunch break POTA pass from my home grid. I was surprised that I managed 10 QSOs. I roved EM24 later and also activated parks there.

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@dtabor @_wa1jay_ I did a single pass POTA activation on RS-44 once.

@KG0D_Dave @KC7JPC @fhoonhout @WD5GRW @GridChasers Sorry Dave, was replying to @KC7JPC. You weren’t available the day I went.

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@N4AKV_ Congrats! Well deserved!

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@N4AKV_ I like building D-STAR and DMR repeaters, but I don't rag chew much, either. I have joined the AMSAT nets a few times and that's fun, so I'm sure there are things out there that would interest me.

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

First successful pass using the TH-D74 and IC-705. Not much activity answering my CQs, but @N0GVK stopped by to say hi. Thanks Curt!

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@N4AKV_ I've moved the IC-705 from BT classic to BLE for control so now I just need to get the TH-D74 control working over classic and then I can work out those details. My tracking code was already working well to tune my 705 on RX and calc the TX to manually go to with my 7000. Close!

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@N4AKV_ I'm thinking I might add an option to "tune" that would save the offset difference for myself and then a lock/unlock that would let me move around while still following doppler just with a different offset as I moved.

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@KGilot @N0GVK That’s an M5Stack Core2…an ESP32 microcontroller with touchscreen, buttons, realtime clock, and battery packaged together. I’m working on Doppler tracking and rig control with it. Already have it capable of predicting and controlling the receiver.

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@KD9RDO @N0GVK I’ll gather up my GoPro and chest mount and see if I can do that.

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@KD9RDO @N0GVK RS-44

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@N0GVK Thanks Curt! Sorry if I was a little scattered as I got used to it. I’m excited about a more portable station, though!

[Luke - AE5AU @AE5AU]

@N4AKV_ @N0GVK I’ve been loving everything else about the HT for sure!

I could possibly add a dial interface, but I need to get CAT operational over BT and go from there. Also without it having RIT, I want to consider how I want tracking to work with it. Need an easy way to shift
