Over 10 years as a ham and no satellite QSOs in the log. But, to be fair, that’s mostly for lack of trying. I recently decided I should give satellites a try
I built a portable 3 element dual-band yagi and have been itching to try it out. Hooked up to an HT, I was able to hear QSOs on a couple of amateur satellites and the ISS over the past couple of days, but I was unable to make any contacts. Suspecting inadequate power was the issue, I hooked up the FT-857 in "split" mode and gave it a shot on a low pass of AO-27. Did it work? There’s one way to find out…

I’ve owned this new radio for about a week now and this is my first opportunity to make you a proper video introduction. I’ll look at some of the first things that strike me coming out of the box that may interest you.
JS8Call setup and demo from its creator, Jordan, KN4CRD. Jordan came onto a Livestream a couple of months back and was gracious enough to show us this setup and demo of his software. I’ve taken the "meat" of that video, and cut out all of the extra talk of the livestream, and put it into a more-watchable format for you to use for your own setup. Please let me know your thoughts on this format.
