Labor Day 2023 Amateur Radio Satellites 

Thank you for your comment! I’m using an app called GoSatWatch.

I keep meaning to write a detailed description of the antenna with a link to the STLs, which are not yet uploaded.

www.igatemini.com/sat This device, controllable through a web browser on any wifi capable device, basically drives the radio, setting the up and downlink frequencies based on which satellite I select from the configurable list of "next passes" on the browser page. (The SAT box basically generates a feature/info-rich webpage-based Graphical User Interface.) It also controls the VFOs, adjusting for doppler effect. If I had a Yaesu rotator, it would control that as well. The thing provides a lot of other handy features too, like logging, info about current pass, map display, etc. I can use it remotely (away from an internet connection.) I'm barely using the full capabilities of the thing in these videos. For more info, there are quite a few videos showcasing the CSN SAT box.

Yes, the element clamps (thanks for that, I couldn’t decide what to call them) are 3D printed. MkII will be all the same color. Phone holder attachment is a great idea; I could use a counterweight! Thanks for the kind words.

@@NC0QI've used a bicycle cellphone mount on my antenna.

Great tip, thanks!
