HAM Radio Fun With KO4PDI
United States
Приєднався 21 тра 2022
I fell in love with HAM radio (2021) and have been enjoying satellite contacts, including those with astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). Im having a great time with my UA-cam channel, where I share videos of my satellite contacts, global conversations, and instructional information about the equipment I use. Promoting HAM radio through my channel is a fantastic way to inspire others and spread awareness about the hobby.
I encourage you to enjoy sharing my passion and knowledge with others through my UA-cam channel. It's a great platform to connect with fellow HAM radio enthusiasts and engage with a wider audience who might be interested in learning more about the hobby.
If you have any specific questions or need assistance with anything related to HAM radio or my UA-cam channel, feel free to ask, and I'll be happy to help!

Frank has been involved in every aspect of this project from the start. He worked for NASA and is now serving with ARISS.

Driveway Portable ISS Pass 8/27/2024 Someone once said that necessity is the mother of invention. Since my IC-9700 is headed to ICOM for repairs, I am limited in making some satellite contacts.

Waited 10 mins and nothing started. Time to go to another channel.
Well bye. I'm working on the problem.
Great video, a small suggestion, please reduce the sound level of the background music. Thank you.
I think you mentioned using the SAT box to control the rotator but use the new handheld for the radio (which will work, I think) while the 9700 is out of service. That seems like a good idea for your UA-cam channel while waiting for your "real" sat radio to be returned.
Hey Mike. Thanks for the podcast and this interview. You should know that your audio is clipping. Excitement is great, but try a peak limiter please.
Thanks for hosting Frank on your podcast Mike!😃
couldn't get past the AI thumbnail
Awesome I'll be there!
Great demonstration! Can you use the RT3S's built-in audio record feature to record satellite QSOs while running OpenGD77?
I think I heard that same noise from the ear buds starting right before you said it's over...
When you get the chance, I’m really interested in your tripod setup. K3DMM
I heard you that day and responded but seeing this video I see I was covered up by another when I replyed... KG4BLR
Hope you enjoy your visit up north. K3DMM
Please do a video on your tripod setup. K3DMM
So cool that you can reach the ISS with your HAM portable.
Fun to see your neighbor come over to see what you are doing. 🙂
I’d love to see your tripod system in better detail.
came here looking for a link to that gimbal mount on his tripod. best adaptation of a tripod for sats ive seen
What tips???? Like software, handheld operation, gimbal/tripod setup. Learned very little except some equipment names.
That’s all I use. The Retevis RT3S with the OpenGD77 firmware and an Arrow II. I love them both. K3DMM
Awesome Job! It worked!
DJT approves the garden signs haha. Great pass Mike, what a great wee HT with OpenGD77, eh?
Let me know when you are doing some voice HF I will try to get you in the log. Sorry to hear about the 9700. That sucks for sure
How many volts was your SAT box putting out? My SAT box also damaged my 9700. My CIV and CW ports no longer function because the trace for the ground burned up (CW and CIV pins share a common ground).
The SAT box didn't do it. The 9700 was affected by the lightning strike near me.
Aw Mike that sucks pal! I hope it's just gremlins or a firmware glitch. Fingers and toes crossed for ya buddy!
When you get the OPENGD77 on the Retevis you can hook it up to your tower and still work the FM Birds!
Can you share that gimbal mount here I didn't get the link yesterday
Hiding in plane sight ua-cam.com/video/DYzkCtbwHqU/v-deo.htmlsi=Vl1t1w-bxpMF-RM7 derp state #POW
just bought 2 M2 eggbeaters nib I plan to get everything going by fall my ? have you tried eggbeaters and whats your view on them thanks de W9US
good content keep it up and you need to do a second instance of wsjt-x just for the 9700 so you don't have to worry about to make sure if you have the right settings de W9US
Today's pass, your transmission seemed more reliable than yesterday, That is, you were hitting the bird today. Yesterday it seemed like you were hearing better than others were hearing you.
Keep up the great videos 😀
Mike, great setup. I may need to do that with mine. Also looking at doing a pulley system for the crankup section of my tower.
Sounded great! I worked the next pass then it went down for a day Boo!!
Sorry I missed you friend! Awesome video, enjoyed it very much.
Big Mike! Good video, I am going to have to get me some of that spray on any-corrosion!
Nice video, do it again!
Thank you for the Tower Ziggy.
Awesome setup Mike! I thought it looked like it wasn't aiming in the proper direction. I'm really excited to hear you do a pass and hear how it sounds now!
Thanks Don.
KV4I - Looks great! Also good sig on ISS today.
I made 10 contacts on one pass from MI to PR. It works.
not everyone has HUGE antennas ore can work QRO ...FT8 can help you understand conditions and see how youre antenna is working .. just my opinion
I got you logged in qrz. My time might be off. Did you log the downlink? i logged the uplink
I heard ya once this pass and called to ya were ya live?
Pretty dang cool this is an interesting software. Where do you find it.
Thanks for the contact! 73s from Joe KE2CDK
Great Job figuring out the issue. I really think that high of a pass with your setup you should be receiving ALOT better than that though. Not sure why youre not. Also rewatch this and compare your antenna location to where Satbox says it should be pointing. It almost looked to me like it wasnt pointing where it should be but I dont know where your N, S, E, and W are at. Just trying to help cause you should be hearing it alot better in my opinion! 73 my friend!
Hey there big Mike! How is it going my man?!?!
Hello, I made my first ISS contact this afternoon, with the same Arrow antenna, handheld, but with a TYT2027 HT running openGD77 firmware, which corrects the rx/tx doppler shift. Have fun and vy 73!
I was thinking after the live...maybe something isn't right with that 12 foot antenna...because I used to hear you really well last year. When did you switch that antenna?
Keep up the great work I hope you have a great day 😀
Mike I am not sure if this is live now 8.7.24? You are clear, I will give a 5》》》9
Thanks for having me on the show Mike! 73 de W8CPT
have fun doing content
Great backgroud music Mike ...Scorpions rock you like a hurricane .. from the album Love At First Sting (1984)
