Built a quick and dirty audio cable for #SSTV during @JOTAJOTI next weekend. QRV as PA3RVG/J from Scouting Beek en Donk!

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

Getting ready for @JOTAJOTI 2024 from Scouting St. Willibrordus in Beek en Donk, the Netherlands, JO21TM. We will be QRV on 2m and possibly #QO100 next weekend as PA3RVG/J. @jotajoti_nl

@PE1RDP @VERON_Nederland Ah ok. Ik heb het een paar jaar geleden een keer gedaan, toen ook weinig QSO's inderdaad. Ik heb nu een portable setup waarmee ik zaterdagmiddag naar Scouting Aarle Rixtel en Scouting Beek en Donk rijd. Portable geeft ook wat flexibiliteit qua kiezen van LOS-spot.

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@PE1RDP @VERON_Nederland Jullie ook. Wij zijn ook weer QRV op QO-100 nb. Jullie ook toevallig?

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@PE1RDP @VERON_Nederland Wij als PA3RVG/J vanuit Beek en Donk. Hopelijk tot horens!

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@BourascomD @JOTAJOTI Yes, with a dish of 90cm I get an SNR of about 18 dB.

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

I converted my QO-100 setup to use an external 12 volt supply instead of PoE so I can power it with a battery and use it portable in the upcoming @JOTAJOTI weekend. I plan to operate from two local scouting groups on saturday. I will test the complete setup on QO-100 tonight.

@Manawyrm @BourascomD @JOTAJOTI Thanks for your input! Did you drive it with a Pluto and the little AD preamp PCB? Because with that combination I cannot nearly drive it into compression, at least not audibly so with SSB or two-tone signals.

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@BourascomD @JOTAJOTI Good question, 4 chinese watts, so probably 1 or so. I don't have a means to measure it.

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@FrankMolenschot @JOTAJOTI Mooi, wij zijn ook weer gewoon present op 2 meter.

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@flo_0_ Nice, l have to try that too once. :)

Very interesting read on how and why ChatGPT (and friends) work. https://t.co/gqiyg8CXul

Wondered about where #Artemis1's antenna(s) are?

Wonder no more. There are four equally spaced around the capsule.

[r00t @r2x0t]

#Artemis1 uses CCSDS AOS (v2) frames, spacecraft ID is 0x14 and this matches SANA registry: https://t.co/SVKR3wbejd
This confirms the signal on 2216.5MHz is really coming from #Artemis1.

Fill frames are sent on VC 63 filled with counting up bytes (no ASCII messages this time☹️).

@MoodeAudio I recently switched over from Volumio because I had some trouble with Spotify and didn't fancy the paid plan. Works like a charm. 👌

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@pa3weg Good to hear! Unfortunately we didn't get to work you, but nevertheless we had a splendid weekend as PA3RVG/J as well. :)

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@FrankMolenschot @derendierhoeve Ja goed idee, we houden contact!

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@FrankMolenschot @derendierhoeve Volgend jaar! Bedankt voor de leuke verbindingen. 👌

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@FrankMolenschot @derendierhoeve Would you mind if we drop by this evening?

[Rico van Genugten @PA3RVG]

@FrankMolenschot @derendierhoeve Involuntary QRPP 😅
