Small Activation to test my equipment. Everything worked well and I almost completely achieved my imitation of @OH8STN sitting in a hammock 🛜 doing Winlink 🤣🤣. I was relaxing on a few rocks enjoying the atmosphere. The Yagi had stronger signal reports. My🛜 mic coming soon!
So my SOTA POTA situation is coming together very well. 🛜 connectivity and operation will be the focus of this set up. 2m packet, APRS super use via various gateways and servers, Winlink packet if desired, satellite tracking (FM), and all the integration features KISS TNC !
You won’t be disappointed. When you run the apps right click and run as administrator. I found things ran WAY smoother . Read about the VFO and how it works in the Various Modes( 3 blinks for Windows) and if you wanna do SSB make sure your in mode 1 or 2 ( to control VFO).
Sunday Funday Cleaning the Shack ! With APRS clients running, Winlink Smashing packets through my TX-500 and potential repairs to my SBitx( finials may need replacing) @N4JAW check your winlink man! @OH8STN you too Devil Dog!! Monthly check ins !!

This is an extract from the video earlier today where I'm receiving a message from Julian N3JF, operating as M/N3JF from England.
I'm using a 60m OCF dipole hung for NVIS during this session. It's amazing I can make any contacts at this distance at all.
