Oh yes, yes. In an earlier life, I was an engineer for the company that commercialised the Wadley loop for stabilising the IF oscillators in HF SSB. (Racal RA17). My time was just at the beginning of phase locked digital oscillators. So bring it on, SSB, disciplined oscillators, antennas, RF design - oh, I can’t wait! Wonderful idea!
Yes, please Andreas, the project as a whole is pretty interesting. But also the diverse parts and challenges are interesrtin by themselves and can be used in other projects. Thanks a lot in advance!, Cheers!
Andreas, I was one of the people who asked for this video, thank you for producing it. It's great to see projects like this - sometimes we all need to be "taken out of our comfort zone". I look forward to the next instalment!
@@AndreasSpiess Pretty similar as yours: I have documented my setup on my website: tbspace.de/qo100eshail2.html and also some info about the reference clock: tbspace.de/plutosdrclockinput.html
Yes, continue with the series! I'd love to do something like this, I'll do it someday when I get a license... I've always wanted to send signals to satellites (next step being building and sending my own satellite, but one step at a time). I might buy a second hand rubidium oscillator, though, having an atomic clock at home sounds pretty cool even if I don't need it, and it's not that expensive.
Lucas arts was known to go to several obscure sources for sound effects. Likely they used SSB receivers for the inter-ship communications in the movies. One of the other cool effects was the blasters, obtained by tapping / rapping a telephone pole guy wire with a stick or pipe (the cables going into the ground to stabilize the pole, no power on them). There is at least one documentary on this subject that was made.
@@EngineeringVignettes I think i saw that documentary, sound of the Tie fighter was the sound of the freeway recorded through the tube of a vacuum cleaner iirc :)
The concise reasoning without the garbage is the beautiful aspect of all your contributions. For a person who has a plethora of mechanical skills related with fruit growing and the machinery involved I see how I am on a steep learning curve with too little time to work out mistaken ideas. Thanks for keeping it simple and substantial.
Yes yes, this will be brilliant. I've been following the projects on this for the last year and have my Pluto SDR sat here waiting. Keep up the great work.
Yes please Andreas, do continue. As you say, the whole project may be out of range for many of us, but the individual elements would be so useful to learn. A side benefit will also be your showcasing of what is possible, and therefore increase interest in amateur radio in general. I'm looking forward to this.
This isn't a project for everybody but that is why most people watch videos, to see what it would be to make such things. It is a very interesting project that combines the knowledge you provide on previous videos. So go for it!
Yes! Please continue! All kind of Radio content is hard to comeby on youtube, since Radio Frequency generally intimidates makers, so your videos on stuff like LoRa are greatly appreciated!
Really liked the video and would love to see more as well. Coincidentally, my thesis consists in building Rb atomic clocks, and my PhD advisor helped building the METAS Cs clock you showed. The least I can say is that I am more than interested now :)
Do not hesitate! Start your series. I am very excited to see how you will tackle the technical challenge, because I am sure that you will again find very surprising and reliable solutions. 73, Martin DG6MS
As someone who doesn't currently have an amateur license, but will be getting one in the future, this series is certainly of interest. Even if I weren't there's still plenty to learn from, so I hope you do continue to make videos about your progress! :)
We all love to tinker, after all, we're all makers. As we can now see, a lot of us are Radio Amateurs as well. How cool! I can't wait to see this Andreas, thanks for taking the time to do this for us. 73's from Sweden. SA6DAZ
Andreas Spiess, i am an old, bit rusty ham myselve, bit radio-inactive at the moment. But i did some test with Oscar 7 at the time wit a following antenna. So i am looking forward to your series about the wifi relay. And i enjoy your video’s very much!
That would make for a great series! I don't believe this topic has been covered elsewhere on TH-cam, or at least not with the Swiss precision. This first episode is a teaser enough for me to stay tuned for more. Thank you!
Im an amateur radio operator, but im in Chile, so i dont have QO-100 footprint here, but this is a very interesting proyect, for the ham and non-ham community, because you can learn a lot about dish antenas, focal point, LNB, oscilators, RF paths an so on... please continue with the series :)
Yes, please do a in depth series for that kind of stuff! Longer projects are always a win. By the way the FOSSASAT-1 Project you presented finally pushed me on getting my CEPT1 License. ;-)
My favorite nugget of info I learned from this was about GPSDO's that's crazy! So if you want a super stable frequency source, all you need to do is basically copy the frequency of a GPS satellite! So you're not only sending data to a satellite thousand of KM's away, you're also using a seperate GPS satellite thousand of kilometers away just to copy their frequency! Now that is what I call a distributed system haha. Keep up the great work man! I'm really interested in seeing the next video!
I'm so pleased you're starting this series. I have a QO-100 setup but I'm interested to see your take on the subject. Would be great to have a QSO with you on the satellite some time!
Sounds very interesting, please continue! Especially the use of GPS as a timing reference for non-positioning applications is new to me. This may become handy in other projects as well.
Yes please continue! This is a very interesting project. Also when you say “A series of amplifiers” on your slide on “THE TRANSMITTING PATH”, my Siri triggers consistently.
Very interesting project! I got my ham radio licence recently and cannot use big antennas in my flat, so this might be the perfect starting point for me.
yes!! Do it !!! this is very very good stuff, specially after we all had a bit of a "incomplete experience" on the Very Good idea for the Open Source LoRa over Satellite.
I picked up a Rubidium standard from Aliexpress a few years ago, obviously it is a salvaged unit from something but it works very well, was only about $150 at the time.
I'd like to see more of this project, please continue on. One thing to consider with the cheaper GPSDOs is the phase noise. Some GPSDOs have enough phase noise that it is a problem when their 10MHz is multiplied into the GHz range.
Your videos are really interesting. I love the way you describe things, makes them sound easy! I'm not likely to build this but I REALLY want to see you do it!!
I'll really enjoy this series, even if I can't build it, because it will take me back to when I was involved with the manufacture UoSAT satellites - laying out flight PCBs and installing ground stations in the UK, Portugal and South Korea. Different frequencies for those but satellites have always given me a buzz.
This sounds really interesting, I am in the 7 th grade in the USA, taking some classes on computers and electronics. I could not afford to do this but like watching your videos after classes top give a second source of knowledge about something we did in school. I hope you do the series.
That is what I was waiting for! Even though I know more or less entire subject I'll be watching for sure every episode of bonus serie. Hope that HAM RADIO topics will became permanent part of this channel. Especially about microwaves where you cannot go to the shop and buy brand new and shiny TRX. Almost everything have to be build by yourself. That is what I like at most! 73!
I can't wait to see the next video. So many different and interesting topics are covered with this project. Maybe this video can encourage more people becoming ham radio. Thanks
Great project! And it can be great base to do other radio projects, like receiving stations - there are quite a few working projects that beam data to earth from various satellites.
Please continue! I've been a ham for over 40 years and have always wanted to have access to a geostationary repeater. Wishing you Much Success!! 73, N1FNE
@@AndreasSpiess Still, I love the concept, and there have been many "near-misses" on getting a geostationary "Oscar" here in this hemisphere. "Never give up, never surrender."
Very cool, I'm keen to follow this. When I was a teenager, my dad used to run a HAM radio service to support charity workers in the Pacific Islands, way before cellphones were really mainstream even in developed countries. The mickey mouse voices were a constant problem!
i'm currently building my own setup for QO-100 and i find this approach very interesting. I have settled for the far more expensive LimeSDR as you could also do broadband like DATV with it. Haven't checked if itwould work with the ADALM Pluto, though. I know quite a few people here who aren't radio amateurs like me and still find this topic very interesting and i hope to get them more interested in this and in maybe even doing the exam.

Interesting project. I've wanted to learn how to use GPS for clock stabilization. My Kiwi-SDR has such an output I believe.
We will cover that. The Kiwi probably has an input for a stable 10MHz source. The HackRF one has one.
