Does anyone in the group use SSTV or FT8, or may be even the older type of digitl modes live Olivia RTTY, PSK31 etc, that might be heard from VK land "Soutern States" "Victoria / Tasmania / South Australia etc.
Its been a litle while, but when the ISS is active with SSTV, I would
reveive SSTV images from it. The satellite and ISS stuff was the first thing that I got into with amateur as that is my military background (SATCOM). For amateur satellite stuff, I mainly use a Kenwood TH-D74A to RX and any other HT to TX, usually a Yaesu FT60R. I had a homebrewed Yagi that I was using for a while, but eventually just got an Arrow satellite antenna (split-boom with duplexer).
Haven't done any FT8 yet, but just got a a FT991A not to long ago, so probably will eventually get to that. I do some packet and AX.25 stuff, but just on 2m now such as APRS, WinLink, chat, etc. For TNC's, I have a Kantronics KPC-3+, MoblinkD TNC3, a couple SignaLinks, and a RPi running just DireWolf. Running
a Yaesu 8900R right now as an iGate for both 2m (144.390) and 6m (50.620) using a RPi and DireWolf. Eventually, I'd like to get Synchronet up and running on packet over HF.
