I’ve had sats/ISS on my list of things to learn for a while. Maybe 2025 will be the year I get that yagi built.

The ISS is an easy one to start with. The signal is much stronger than most of the others.

Do you think you could receive from it with an omnidirectional antenna?

@JackbyDev @AG7LR
I bet you could. Here are the pictures I received during the autumn experiment.
The cheap Quansheng UV5-K8 radio with custom firmware and whip antenna Nagoya NA-771 (which is most probably non original) were used.

That's cool! I have the same radio and also have some knockoff NA-771s.

Direct link to the toot for Lemmy users, because apparently images don't show.
