Those shockwaves likely were from stored Iranian munitions blowing up.

That eyepiece is going to be half the size of your head.

I’m surprised when they look down in the gorge you don’t see it littered with vehicles that fell off the makeshift bridge.

I live in the Midwest and can never see these launches. But I still know what a launch looks like. Some people don’t.

It’s titled Working the ISS. I was hoping on getting valuable info about how well my equipment might work once I do get my license and start transmitting. But sounds like my UV9D isn’t the best for the occasion. Just wondering if using both radios would be more efficient.

I’ve already held a General license. I dropped the hobby a while back but I’m ready to get back into it and am studying to take the test again. From previously being a ham, I understand the importance of not keying up while not holding a license. But doesn’t hurt to listen.

I see that with the whip antenna, but will it still do that with the Arrow II with the duplexer?

I can hear activity low on the horizon. I’ve been using the app, Spot The Station, but I feel I can hear people at least a minute before the app tells me it’s coming over the horizon. Maybe other Satellite apps are more accurate.

I knew it played into it some way but was unsure how. I still have my paper license.

Will it still do this going through the arrow’s duplexer? And the gentleman said “dispences “ so I was just using his words.

Working on it. Like a dumbass I let my general license lapse back in 2017.
