UPDATE - SAT Antennas, TX-500 Amp, and Unrelated Scuba Prep

#m2antenna #eggbeater #hamradio I have been busy getting the Green Ham Machine livable with water, hot water, a lavatory, kitchen, refrigerator and ham radios that don't bounce around when in transit. Like a lot of folks, I spend most of my waking time at work. I always fit some Ham Radio in the mix. Besides the QMX which is an awesome radio, I have begun to figure out satellites and contacting them., That includes installing a couple of M2 antennas. I had to get and figure out transverters, as well. I was lucky enough to get a TX-500 amp that is working very well. The hardest part is figuring out now to capture what is important about any of this with a camera.

Thanks for stopping by and taking time to join in! Diving is going well. Probably will start a channel specifically for scuba eventually; not as a pro but with activity and observations. Just went the other day at Lake Norman Scuba. First time there, but seem to be nice folks. Finished the PADI Reactivate in their pool. Good to be back in the water. See you out there. 73 de Bill

Chuck, Thanks! 👍. I guess I did alright on reception, that's only part of it, right? Now I have to get the transmit part, lol. I'm having fun with it. It is limited, but I'll work in a portable rig with a yagi to cover the rest. Been watching your videos; Great work. See you out there. 73 de Bill

Nice work Bill! Great to see the vision and work is coming together! Good to hear some of the Satellite results in your clip at the end as well! 73!

Thanks for taking time out to join in, Bob! If there is any success, it's due to you, Sean, Kyle, and others. I watch a video, re-watch the video, and try to recreate it at home. So far so good. I'm watching your videos. Keep making them, lol, or I'll be stuck. See you out there. 73 de Bill
