With a ton of help from my friend Frank N3PUU, I’ve got my first 3D printed #satnogs rotator running. This unit will be for grid square activations, the second one Frank and I built will upgrade SatNOGS ground station 1066 from omni antennas to yagis…

I'm digitizing my late father-in-law's slides. He was part of the Gemini 5 splashdown recovery as a Naval Medical Officer. This photo taken on board the USS Lake Champlain (CVS-39) shows Astronauts Conrad and Cooper talking with President Lyndon Johnson. #NASA

Did a test ride to Parvin SP K-1626. Let time get away from me this morning so I had only enough time to throw out a couple of CQ. Had all the right gear so perhaps next weekend I’ll get out earlier and do a real activation. #POTA #bikePOTA Hat tip to .Jim "Ham on a Bike"
