Great job, heard you work Kristy KB6LTY. Hope to work you on the satellites. Great tutorial. Lower elevation passes yield further distance, but shorter time to work the satellite.
Thanks, John. I hope to learn more and one day work an astronaut. Isn't that on every Hams bucket list? I hope others get out there and try it. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂
Great pass. More than one contact is great on the ISS! You should be able to hear yourself when you transmit. You might want to try using the boafeng for transmit and a better filtered radio for receive. Keep it up!
Yeah, I don't why I wasn't hearing myself, I was hearing my squelch tail. I think that radio might have to tone set on RX too? Thanks for watching, I hope to practice and improve. I'll try using the good radio for RX next time. I appreciate the advice! 73
Good video! I haven't yet been successful on getting a contact but I'm going to try some of your tips. Also, why don't you change your transmit freq to account for the Doppler effect? Thanks!
Thank you! The doppler effect causes the frequency to be higher or lower. Just like the sound of a train coming at you, the sound as it passes, and the as it goes away. The frequency is changing. news.mit.edu/2010/explained-doppler-0803#:~:text=The%20Doppler%20effect%2C%20or%20Doppler,the%20source%20approaches%20the%20observer.
@@W6IWN_Radiosorry, I should have been more clear with my question. I understand Doppler shift but why wouldn't the transmitting frequency also have to be adjusted? That's the part I don't understand. I get that the satellite is moving and we aren't but there is still a relative speed difference between us and the satellite. Thanks for your response!
@drewmedic23 that is a very good question. I'm not sure, but maybe it's because the transmitting station is stationary. If you find a solid answer, please share.
The TidRadio was connected to the 2m side of the antenna for transmit, and the Baofeng was connected to the 70cm antenna for recieve. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, Fred! I hope to work you too... Oh, I didn't know that about the lower elevation passes. Great information 👍
Great video! Glad your out there having fun and learning satellites. Great stuff! John N1PTX

Thanks for the explanation. I'm just starting my journey in the hobby and really appreciate your videos!
No problem, I'm glad to help. Enjoy your journey! 😃
That was RAD!! Love your videos. Thank you!
Thanks, I'm still learning working objects moving through space at 17,500 MPH! It's a big rush, and I hope to improve... I appreciate the view!

It's moving by at 17,500 MPH

Did you have both of those radios connected to your antenna? How did you do that?
The TidRadio was connected to the 2m side of the antenna for transmit, and the Baofeng was connected to the 70cm antenna for recieve. Thanks for watching!
@@W6IWN_Radiogot it … 2 antenna connections. Helpful thx!
