@M0SKN_SA5IKN Very impressive!
What kind of tripod is this? Something self-made or commercially available? Thank you.

@AJamesMcCarthy The camera still needs to be tracked for these 4 hours to point at the same sky area... still very impressive.

@KF7Romeo Wow! Congratulations!
It says "Digital"... What was the mode?

@w3ipa @OGridPete Could you, please, message them to me as well... I would appreciate it very much.

@MikeOK1M I wonder how an improved Kernel affects sensitivity? A different/modified decoding algorithm?

@N4JAW Did you connect WINLink RMS on 30m? How far was it? I guess, what I wonder is was it an NVIS contact or a hop with the mag loop. Thanks!

@AD6DM Did you try to place it near a smoke detector? How different are the readings?

[Nikolai 📡 🛰️ VE3NKL (@[email protected]) @VE3NKL]

@ryzerth Looks very interesting. The signal bandwidth is 800 kHz, do I read it correctly? BTW, do not forget to tuck in a callsign somewhere in the frame to comply with regulations. Great work!

@EA6AJ A great looking Balun... Planning to build something similar except I would need 2:1 for a Delta Loop. What kind of antenna is this one for?

[Nikolai 📡 🛰️ VE3NKL (@[email protected]) @VE3NKL]

@AD6DM Are they still use NiMH or switched to Lithium?

Congratulations to @StefanWagener3 and @ve1cwj for their first 2 way SSB contact through QO-100 from Newfoundland. They were out portable in difficult conditions but succeeded in their goal. Needs a lot of patience and perseverance !!! Congratulations to both !

#hamradio Played with #RigExpert ZeroII board on the weekend... Started with #Arduino Nano but then switched to Rpi Pico W. Since I could only find C libraries for the board, I decided to write my own Micropython module to communicate with the device. So far so good...

[Nikolai 📡 🛰️ VE3NKL (@[email protected]) @VE3NKL]

and about this Micropython module I wrote... If you are interested, take a look at https://t.co/aYqM38Hzo9

This strange looking USB cable with a switch on the picture is actually proved to be very useful. You can turn off power lines using the switch while leaving data lines unaffected. It is great for when you power your project not from the USB connector of one of the boards.

@DigitalRanch3r @QuirkyQRP I am out. Really like my D72 capable of full duplex.

[Nikolai 📡 🛰️ VE3NKL (@[email protected]) @VE3NKL]

The sequencer will be used with FT-817 and switching to transmit will be triggered by the radio's PTT button. By using the transmit inhibitor signal the sequencer is able to temporarily block outgoing RF from the radio to switch relays and other circuits.

#hamradio #10GHz #homebrew
My home-brew sequencer for a 10GHz station is ready for testing. I chose to have a more powerful DC-DC converter inside to power Arduino. It allowed me to have 5V output to power additional electronics such as Leo Bodnar miniGPS reference clock.
