• Working the Orionids

    Hi everyone,

    Is anyone working the Orionids meteor shower? A friend of mine is trying on
    6m using MSK144. The peak was over a few days ago but I'm told there's
    still activity.

    Hello Rug,

    24 Oct 26 17:14, you wrote to me:

    I have not done any work in the extraterrestrial side of ham radio..
    I should at least set a goal of building a handheld tape measure
    satellite antenna and working an satellite or two...

    It's fun to work satellites and meteor showers. I'm hoping that after my foot gets fixed and I go back to work that I can afford to get a small home with a backyard where I can put up a few antennas and have room to do more ham radio-related things like work satellites.

    I did work the ISS once using a handheld 2m rig and a handheld tape measure Yagi. It was fun!
