@ME_Xianming @N6DNM @K3TripleR @NWDigitalRadio I use it on pi zero, it works well

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@2m0sql TU Pete @2m0sql, always a pleasure! Nice also to work #DL6IAN from the balcony of this holiday cottage in KP43!

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@ve3hls Looks great Ken, thanks!

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@MWimages I should be in KP24 or KP25 on those dates

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@VE6WK @K0JM_Mark Yeah, I didn't take the Raspberry for automatic Doppler correction as I knew I couldn't work bare hands. I have to find a solution, maybe a huge keyboard :)

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

Hello NA! If you're interested in KP25, then I'll be on RS-44 today 2021-03-09 from 1535z. I’ll be portable and full-duplex but with no Doppler correction, so look for me somewhere around 435.656 MHz. It’ll be cool for you and cold for me (-8°C) #hamr #amsat

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@G_0ABI @K0JM_Mark I heard you call only afterwards in the playback Peter, sorry. I had a huge desense during the whole pass and no Doppler correction. And -8 C. Not the best scenario I'd say.

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

TNX @ON8GE_Pierre, @G_0ABI, @F4DXV, @dol_g4, @iz5nrf and @EA3AGBJavier for QSO on PO-101 and RS-44 from KP21. Unfortunately not too much time for sats but happy to have worked all of you! And also to get a lot of fish, ready for soup :)

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

Cheers from KP21! Tomorrow 31 Oct I will be active on sats during the day. Let me know if you want a sked. Best on SSB sats. Unfortunately view of the horizon not so good towards NW #amsat #hamr

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

TU @KI7UNJ and @W4Zxt for QSO on RS-44! Not bad with 2° C and 7 m/s wind, although the windsurfer doesn't really seem to care: maybe I should also get a wetsuit? Sorry I couldn't work W5CBF (@CO6CBF), but we will definitely have a new opportunity to break my distance record!

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

Snowy RS-44 pass this morning from KP24. Worked #N0JE and @G0ABI, thanks for QSO! #amsat #hamr

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

Tomorrow morning I'll try again to reach NA on the RS-44 pass at 0709z-0720z. This time from KP25. RX around 435.655 MHz. Off-frequency possibly caused by frozen fingers #hamr #amsat

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@G_0ABI @g0abi Yeah, roads in town are clean (it's 2 C right now) but I pushed the bike on the uphill, didn't dare off-road biking with radios in the backpack and a mounted Arrow (well, only the 70cm part) in one hand :)

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

What a wonderful weekend in KP44 on RS-44 satellite! TU @2m0sql, #dj8ms, @G0IIQ, @G_0ABI, @R9LR3, @K9UO, @F4BKV, @N9EAT, @7z1sj, #II4IOTA, #UA1WAN, @Sergio_EA5GX, @F5RRO_Olivier. I miss the recording of the last pass (1916z), please let me know if I missed somebody!

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

Interested in KP44? I'm here until Sunday. Fishing and satellites, can't ask for more! #amsat #hamr

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@Sergio_EA5GX Yes, I'll try to be around .645. I have desensing problems so not sure I will be able to hear myself. Even with the BLP-200+...

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@flo_0_ @Sergio_EA5GX ... and I'll be there!

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@flo_0_ @Sergio_EA5GX Yes 1916z

[Raffa OH8FKS @OH8FKS]

@Sergio_EA5GX It was yesterday, but tonight there are good passes for me e.g. 19.16
