Adding to what Mike said, You indicated you have an RSP SDR receiver. If the
though of to 818's puts a crimp  in your budget, why not just use one for
the uplink and use the SDR on the Downlink? Patrick Stoddard WD9EWK uses
this set up with great success.

I?m unaware of a QRP HF rig that can do full duplex satellite as well.
However, since yaesu doesn?t make an official FT-1634 you can make one with
2 FT-817?s, one for the uplink and the other for down. If you?re buying new
it would be two FT-818?s so I guess that would make it an FT-1636.

There are some rigs that do HF and satellite like the TS-2000 and IC-9100
but they?re not QRP rigs.

Hi Burns, good info you?ve shared. I had the same/similar issue on the
azimuth side.  Reducing the voltage top end and calibrating fixed it up.

Ron,

RE the rotator, check out K3NG's project for an arduino based project.
I have built many of these.

If you can find a G5400 or 5500, building the control hardware is not
a big reach. Lots of help on our (K3NG) mailing list.

Nice features include remote relay keying (think preamps and other
relay things), Adding a gps for sun/moon tracking. This rocks. Makes
setup a breeze. Once the gps gets a lock, engage sun or moon track,
move tripod so that the antennas are pointed at the celestial body,
operate kill switch to return to normal ops. This list of features is
not exhaustive.

Downside is that the code only runs on a mega 2560.

Pic of the total homebrew here:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/37074076991/in/dateposted/

I've got it torn down to change the el to 180, the motors to 12VDC and
swap in 2:1 gearboxes. Will work much more smoothly.

The G5400 based device here:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/27426986382/in/dateposted/

Portable radios are IC-7000, Yaesu 875d in a Pelican 1440 and an Ettus
B210. Longer term goal is to use the B210 all by itself. One step at a
time.

Hello,

There is no portable radio that I am aware of that can do it all. You will
need some combo of radios to get full duplex, HF, and portability:
-- The Kenwood TH-D72A will do full duplex 2m/70cm for FM sat work and APRS,
but has no HF. It's also just a darn nice HT. I have one and it is my
everyday radio.
-- The Yaesu FT-817/FT-818 will do half duplex HF/VHF/UHF FM + SSB, low
power and portable.The 817/818 will give one advantage that you won't get
with the D72A, if you're also lugging a computer around -- they can be
computer controlled and the D72A cannot. I don't have these yet, but I do
eventually to get at least one for sat TX (I haven't decided if I will use
another one or SDR for sate RX) and portable HF.

The Arrow is a great antenna for the VHF/UHF side. I have an Elk dual-band
which is comparable but both are good!

For an HF antenna, I would suggest looking at the Spiderbeam GoPAK for a
decent multi-band, portable HF antenna good for up to 100W. I purchased one
back when they were still the National Park Activation Kit and used it as my
primary antenna on my Yaesu 857D for most of a year, and was making decent
DX contacts with it (Cuba, Argentina, Japan). Lightweight, easy to set up
and tear down:

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ ARISS Students

??? ARISS-US program?s education proposal window open Oct. 1 - Nov. 30, 2018

?

September 25, 2018:? ARISS is seeking proposals beginning October 1, 2018
from US schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations
(working individually or together) to host amateur radio contacts with an
orbiting crew member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between
July 1 and December 30, 2019.

?

Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with learning
opportunities about space technologies, communications, and much more
through the exploration of Amateur Radio and space. ARISS has been pleased
of late, to be one of many possibilities of interest to educators during
NASA?s A Year of Education on Station, which celebrates an almost 12-month
presence of a teacher aboard the ISS.? The ARISS program connects students
to astronauts on the ISS through a partnership between NASA, the Radio
Amateur Satellite Corporation, the American Radio Relay League, other
Amateur Radio global organizations and the worldwide space agencies. The
program?s goal is to inspire students to pursue interests and careers in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in Amateur Radio.

?

Educators report regularly that student participation in the ARISS program
stimulates interest in STEM subjects and STEM careers. One educator wrote,
?Many of the middle school students who took part in and attended the ARISS
contact have selected science courses in high school as a result of that
contact.?? Educators are setting up ham radio clubs in schools and learning
centers because of students? interest.

?

ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed, exciting
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications, wireless
technology, science research conducted on the ISS, radio science, and other
STEM subjects. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk directly to an
astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions. ARISS will help educational
organizations locate Amateur Radio groups who can assist with equipment for
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students.

?

The proposal window opens October 1, 2018 and the proposal deadline is
November 30, 2018.

For proposal guidelines and forms and more details, visit:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html

?

Proposal webinars for guidance and getting questions answered will be
offered October 11 and October 23, 2018, both at 8 pm Eastern Time. Advance
registration is necessary. To sign up, go to:
