got my hf rig receiving (not trying transmission with this setup yet) after being lazy with my license for almost a full year; just recording wwv this week (can't hear rwm well enough unfortunately) for this: https://hamsci.org/june-2021-eclipse-festival-frequency-measurement surprised at how well a g5rv mini is working in nyc, the cw is pretty clear

thehustler posted:I posted these on the Discord but may as well share them here too. I did ISS SSTV for the first time today after previously doing some terrestrial QSOs with it. It came out so well for a first attempt and I can't believe I got images from space. super cool! that's the radio trick that made me want to get a license in the first place years ago, so i should get on doing that myself after all this time, thanks for the reminder!

best I could do this time: mad at myself as i should have adjusted the carrier down to account for the redshift that was clearly visible in the sdr waterfall and i could have gotten more of the frame; oh well, it was certainly fun trying

I was thinking of going for the first time this year because there’s HamSCI booth and I’ve been trying to contribute to that project off and on over the last year, but getting to Ohio on short notice wasn’t going to work out - I’ll probably go next year though.
