@NU1U_ant At least she is trying her hand at the radio! My son got his tech license and made an ISS contact, but basically uses his for prepping. Our daughter on the other hand...if she got her tech license it will only be because I bribed her.

@KB5FHK_Tom So glad you are safe and walked away from that Tom.

@Kilo7GAF What I’ve done in the past is to put some 3M SOLAS reflective tape with 146.52 on a plastic sign. Then put that on my rear window when doing a road trip

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

Howdy everyone! How are people logging their GreenCube contacts in TQSL? Under SSB or some other mode? What about the sat designator?

Very pleased with my new magnetic name badge!

@scottN1AIA @GridMasterHeat That AO-91 pass was busy! A little too low for me to make you out good. I'll try AO-27 and RS-44 upcoming if you're on those here.

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

@W4Zxt Yeah…I’ve recently lost some ground radicals this way because I forgot the lawn guys were coming. Doesn’t hurt as bad as coax, but yeah…I’ve done that too! 😂

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

@KJ5Z_Michael K2A had a good strong signal. You could tell the OP had some experience with the birds. Others, well...there's always next pass right?!

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

Well, I snagged K2A and K2D out of that RS-44 pass, thank you! I heard K2B struggling there and K2E at the end of the pass at 3deg but too much QRM.

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

@KC1MEB heard you there on RS-44 but I didn't make it through the clutter this time. Sounds like you twisted your ankle, so wishing you a speedy recovery. Rest Ice Compression Elevate ;)

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

Too much fun! Attention Walmart ham @KJ5Z_Michael thanks for the contact on #XW2C and try to stay cool out there!

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

That was a cool pass on RS-44 just now. I got #K2L and #K2F along with @HR1jbrE. I heard #K2D and #K2B but they got stomped on.

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

Thanks #K8WU and @W4KDK for the contact just now on XW-2C. Able to make it there to about 2deg EL when pointed north before losing it woot woot!

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

@KB9VBRantenna I have a few envelopes from QSL cards I’ve hung onto for just this reason too!

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

Mike mike mike mike, you know what day it is today? FIELD DAY!

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

@w8lid I want to know…how did you pop it?

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

Ok I take it back! There were a few other people jumping on there which is great!

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

XW-2C is back! And I'm the only one here...

[Ben @n6elf.bsky.social @N6ELF]

Trying LilacSat-2 here but very few stations seem to be able to break through.
