You can definitely go with a service and have someone else manage
everything for you. I generally choose not to.
Amazon Lightsail will give you a pretty powerful virtual Linux server with
one equivalent dedicated CPU for $3.50 per month, with a better net
connection than you are going to get elsewhere (entertainingly, in net 44).
It was fine for all sorts of web services, and I had to go up to the $20 a
month one to run a compile server because the Crystal compiler is globally
optimized and had a whole gigabyte working set . Although not all of their
free operating system images are up-to-date, you can update them yourself,
and from Amazon local mirrors that are really fast.
Lightsail is meant to be fast to deploy, you don't have to learn all of the
Amazon cloud APIs, just treat it as a Linux server.
Wasabi will provide you a gigabyte of online storage for $6 a month, which
can be formatted as a static website.
I generally front everything with Cloudflare, which except for their
embarrassing DNS outage the other day, has worked very well. Even at the
Free level.
WordPress takes a little work to self-host, but not very much at all. I run
Devuan or Debian and they generally take care of themselves. Just run the
updates once in awhile, and back them up.
Thanks
Bruce

K4SAT here.
I am intrigued about QO-100 and have monitored it here in Florida by
remote WEB SDR access. I have not been active in the years since AO-40
failed and have been eager to see some HEO operations like I enjoyed
from AO-10 and AO-13. Listening to QO-100 has rekindled that interest.
Last month on AMSAT-BB I posed the question about getting a GEO ride
share with a commercial satellite, something that was considered 12
years ago with Intelsat. Having a QO-100 type transponder here CONUS
would grow the hobby and get folks like me active again (and
contributing sums as I did for AO-40). However, the "old guard" shot my
idea down for the usual reasons. (See my threads last month).
Having a QO-100 type transponder with a hybrid of narrow band linear
side and wide band digital side would open up a lot of opportunities for
operations, public service and experimentation.?? I hope the new "slate"
of BOD will consider this type of project as a priority.
Personally, I think GOLF has not achieved results fast enough to getting
us a larger footprint. I am not advocating scrapping of that effort, but
sometimes you have to jump ahead of the project and grab what is needed.

Have you considered using github pages (since you already use github)?
Otherwise, i'd recommend against using any open or free blogging
services because they can discontinue at any moment and then you're
screwed. Google had one for a while and I created a bunch of content
under a blog called libjoe, but they discontinued it! So, gar! You
can get a micro-vm and host your own using lighty at a very low cost
with AWS or Google Cloud.

Amsat Rovers might find this interesting:
On Sat 18 July in brutally hot weather the 15 mountains were manned from
Maine to Ga and APRS packets and messages were exchanged end-to end.
Typical Snafu's, I had to turn back 30 mins into my 2 hr trip to go home
and get the radio! and another station had to turn back 45 mins in his 5
hour trip to get his coax!
The 4000' hike up Mt Katahdyin in Maine was again done by Tim starting at 5
AM and getting back by sunset. Here is report from MDMTN-7 about half way
along the mountains:
"At 1100 I started receiving packets from the south, including ROAN-3,
COMERS-4, AOMTN-5 and HWKSBL-6. As soon as Bob was set up on GDHILL-8
around 1220 (an hour 20m late!) I started receiving from the north, and in
about 15 minutes I saw KATHDN-15 flying by."
In our 11th year, we now do 9600 and it works fine. And are beginning to
invite other mountains within 100 miles of the chain to join us (after the
initial end-to-end success). (after 4 hours we usually quit due to
exhaustion and heat, success or not!)
The one lesson relearned over and over is that you cannot operate mountain
top without some kind of helical or cavity filter. You wont hear anything
but QRM. I used the dual band DCI filter so that both the voice channel
and data channel were fine on a D710 and dual band omni.
The main page will be slowly updated! (none yet, we are all recovering)...

Clint,
I haven't heard definitive details, but the plan was for two radio systems
for GOLF-TEE. One radio system is a V/u linear transponder similar to
Fox-1E. So a station capable of working FO-29, RS-44, or Fox-1E is likely
to work.
This will be a LEO satellite that includes a de-orbit system for testing.
We need to demonstrate de-orbiting so that we can launch into higher orbits.
The second radio system is a 10 GHz downlink that will support 1 Mbps.
You'll need a 10 GHz antenna that can be steered to track a LEO satellite
and probably a low-noise block downconverter (LNB) feeding an SDR. I think
similar receivers are used for QO-100, so a Google search may yield some
designs that are currently working, although QO-100 is nearly stationary.
My sources are
https://www.amsat.org/greater-orbit-larger-footprint-an-introduction-to-the-am
sat-golf-program/
and page C-1 and C-2 of the 2020 edition of AMSAT's Getting Started With

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble to get the ic9100 to TX when the signal link TX. I'm
trying to do some packet via the signal link. So I do get a red PTT
light on signal link. I'm guessing there might me a menu item I have

Signal link is though the DATA 2 port.
