For those using ADALM-Pluto + SDR Console on QO-100: I’ve released Pluto Status Monitor, a software tool to monitor the Pluto useful for remote setups. 📥 Download + info: ik3itb.com/en/projects/so… If you have a moment, take a look... and let me know — feedback is welcome!

Just worked #FP5KE (OP: @F4BKV) in Saint Pierre & Miquelon 🇵🇲(Gridsquare: GN16WS / distance: 4568.4 km) on RS-44 🛰️ (3.8° el / 280.6° az) using SSB #hamr #wavelog #amsat Because of the AKV rover (@N4AKV_ ) that was too easy. 🤣

If you are a satellite operator and have not filed an objection it's time to get busy. Don't just sit waiting for other organisations to do it on your behalf.
AMSAT-UK@AmsatUK

Threat to 70cm band. AST SpaceMobile have 5 Bluebird commercial LEO satellites using amateur radio 430-440 MHz band. They have asked FCC to authorize a further 243 commercial satellites in #HamRadio band. FCC is asking for your comments, see amsat-uk.org/2025/06/26/use… #amsat #hamr

@KH6WI_Ham_Radio It is a foldable camping dish. It is the only 60cm dish which fits in a suitcase... Unless you homebrew something. It comes with a small tripod.

FY/DL4EA Finally worked EU on RS-44. Thanks to EA4CYQ. Rig is IC-705, 20w THP amplifier. Pstrotator Doppler control. I finished the QO-100 operation. QSB was very noticeable. I hope the setup works in PZ-land. Foto on GJ35QD.

🇮🇸 Yesterday weather turned (dramatically) but with the early start, we were still able to make it happen before the full cold front hit. Many thanks to the early birds:) Ultimately I lucked out big time during my QO-100 activations through Iceland. 🌞 Super sunny. Not one drop of rain. Temperatures touching mid twenties. 73s. Check out Icelanders @olafurw and @greipjokes with accounts on TikTok. #qo100 #hamradio

🇮🇸 Will try IP03 today. The southern tip of the island. Forecast still favourable. Passage-planning months beforehand, sometimes means rebooking flights/lodgings because of weather. But this time …pure luck. Como um amigo me disse “Tempo assim …nem por encomenda.” 🌞 #qo100

🇮🇸 Black sand beaches, glacier lagoons and fields of purple lupines …all to get to IP13. But some dodgy waypoints around here. So, last month used some hires sat imagery to weed the best sites out (costly but paid off;) Over 100 SSB QSOs done …tnx. And now FT8’ing for a while until bored or battery dies hi. #qo100 #amsat #hamradio

🇮🇸 The forecast for today …purple temperatures and wide isobars. Iceland is slowly becoming a misnomer (rather like Greenland hi). Have checked the car coolant and slapped on more sun cream. Shorts and espadrilles are on standby. #qo100 #hamradio

More washboard gravel roads. Set up for HP75 beside an old airstrip. Only 7deg elevation limits the places where the satellite can be seen from. The challenge is part of the fun. Prepared two months ago using topo maps. #qo100 #AmaterRadio
