I made a cryptic post the other day, new rig in the house!! I opted to get the ‘Edgewood Package’ which included a case, internal ATU, and all the accessories. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I am a huge proponent of built in auto tuners. Having less gear to lug out, hook…

Started the day early with my SOTA team, Mark K3MGM, AJ W6CMY, and Edward KO6DVZ. Wheels up at 0530 from my QTH got us on the trail by 0600. The last half mile of this hike was grueling and steep. Would not recommend for the casual hiker. We all wiped out on the way back…

We gathered at my QTH for coffee and pastries before heading to the summit. Special thanks to Mark K3MGM for bringing the treats! The coffee was from our local favorite, Moby’s, in North Hollywood. I recently…

My WiMo phase cables came in from DX Engineering and the written instructions were in German. Their website also had German as the only download option. What I want to be 100% clear on is which way to connect this cable up to ensure I know what circular polarization I’m using. The goal is for…

Not finding what I’m looking for There are a million videos and posts describing how to setup up your ICOM 9700 with the WSJTX software…. but I can’t find anything dedicated to this setup when focused on operating satellites. With the CSN Sat Box, it drives your radio and adjusts for doppler… but we still…
