A little about me.
How long have you been a HAM?
I got my Technician level license in April of 2021 and my General level in August of the same year.
What radios do you use at your home QTH?
I have an ICOM- IC-9700 for Satellites and local 2 m and 70 cm Repeaters. I have an ICOM IC-7300. I also have many HTs both Yaesu, Baofangs, and more.
What Antennas do you use?
I have a Diamond 2 m Yagi and a Home-brew 70 CM 22 Element Yagi for 70 CM. These two are used mostly for satellite contacts. For HF I have a Palomar 80 M OCF that works great with the IC 7300 all bands from 80-6 less than a 2.0 SWR. I also have a 160 EF Antenna which handles from 160-6 Meters less than the 2.0 SWR.
Do you do portable satellite work?
Sometimes, I have an Elk Log Periodic I use with an HT. I also have an Arrow 2 dual-band antenna for that. I have two Wouxun KG-Q10H which are great for doing portable satellite work. Both full-duplex quad-band radios. These also work on GMRS.
Tracking Satellites how?
I have used the S.A.T. Box from CSN Technologies. It is the best thing since sliced bread if you want to work the birds.
