Ham Radio Satellite Contacts on my Mini Antenna Array
In my last video I assembled a "mini-array" for amateur radio satellites. I used two Arrow II antennas phased together for circular polarization, mounted on a Yaesu G-5400 az-el rotator. Today we build the controllers to steer the antennas, finish the station assembly, and get on the air for our first QSOs with the new setup.
Check out "The Radio Artesian" K3NG's website for more details and source code for the rotator controller.

Ham Radio Satellites with Two Arrow Antennas and Circular Polarization?
มุมมอง 21Kปีที่แล้ว
My new "mini-array" is born, using two Arrow antennas phased together. I'm using switches that allow changing polarity between vertical, horizontal, left-hand and right-hand circular polarization. This setup is an experiment to test if switchable polarization will allow these little antennas to outperform a set of higher gain fixed antennas in real amateur satellite use. Either way this will be...
Receiving SSTV from the ISS with SDR (simple and automatic)
มุมมอง 5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
A few times a year, the International Space Station puts on events where they transmit images on the 2m ham band using SSTV. In this video I show how you can set up an RTL-SDR or SDRplay with free software. Best of all you can set up the software and leave it unmonitored.

VA3ASE Station Tour
มุมมอง 2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Join me on this virtual tour of my ham radio station focussed on satellite and VHF operation. I present an overview of the antennas, tower, feedlines, rotators, transceivers and software used in my home amateur radio station. Equipment seen includes Icom IC-7300 HF/6m transceiver, Icom IC-9700 VHF/satellite transceiver, Yaseu G-5500 rotators, MFJ manual tuner, and various home-brew antennas and...
