Scott,
I completed WAS on 144 MHz via EME and I greatly appreciate the OPs who
went remote to help make that possible. I would be happy to go to Delaware
to help you get your WAS. Can we do this on an FM bird? I need some
time to pull together a portable system. We'll do a test run from my QTH
in NJ and then I'll drive south to DE and we'll do it again. Does that
work for you?

Wow Paul, that's incredibly generous.? I usually avoid the sometimes random
chaos of the FM birds and would hate to see ya do that and then catch a bad
couple of passes, as they sometimes tend to be.
I've got a Field Day 847 I'd be happy to put in a box and send out there if
you wanted a loaner to do a little rover action and go when you could line
up everyone that wanted DE on FM or SSB.? It's a little rocky on mode J at
over a few watts out, at least with my close spaced attic antennas, but fine
on all the other linears and FM birds.? I'm certainly in no hurry, my Hawaii
QSO was on AO10 in 1995, and the first KL7 was a 21/29 mhz QSO on RS12 in
94.? A few months one way or the other shouldn't make much difference :)
If interested just drop me a line direct ka9p@???.???.
73 and thanks Scott ka9p

Hi All,
To support my interest in building amateur radio equipment I recently dove
into 3D printing. I'm sure many are aware of the technique below, but
still others might find it interesting.
*You can easily install threaded brass inserts into 3D printed parts,
making them very robust and useful.* Feel free to view the PDF file at the
link below for a brief introduction to this technique.

Scott,
Check out my QRZ page and you'll see my Squam Lake house setup with two FM
HTs. This has worked nicely with SO-50.
I am very familiar with the FT-847 since that was my first satellite radio.
I'll build up an antenna system and we'll test. SO-50 mid-week should be
ok. Right???????? :0
I went to Connecticut with a 144 MHz EME system to give PA5Y WAS EME.
It will be a pleasure to activate DE for you.

Hi all,
I am not a big grid hunter/rover, but I got an email request to activate a
grid near me to help someone move closer to his GridMaster award, so?.
I will be making a trip about an hour and a half west of here with my
daughter, to hopefully the EM02/EM03 border, on a state highway in North
Central Texas. If the roadside or terrain is not good, I may end up moving
up the road to the next town and just do EM03. Hoping for the border though
but not sure.
Date, Saturday, September 5th, weather permitting of course.
I am going to try and make the following FM passes.
1602? AO-92? Max El 10 E
1616 SO-50? Max El 22 SE
16:48 AO-91 Max El 24 E
17:35 AO-92 Max El 32 W
17:52 SO-50 Max El 31 SW
18:24 AO-91 Max El 28 W
All times UTC for my AOS.
Depending on how things go, I may not make the first or the last pass on
this list, but will try if possible, to make all of them. I do not do
Twitter so that is not an option for alerting, but think I am in the current
Facebook group so may hang out there. During the lulls.
Give me a shout please.

Hi Paul,
Right! This 3D printing enables so many different projects, is relatively
EASY and LOW COST !!! To share some of the salient points for those not
too familiar with 3D printing:
A good-quality printer can be had for $250 (Ender3 is a VERY popular
printer)
Parts the size of your fist cost about $1 to $2 (roughly speaking)
As Paul noted, there are materials which nicely survive UV and heat. You
could print PETG parts for outside, or in the heat of your car.
Parts take between an hour and a day to print, depending on size,
complexity and density.
FreeCAD software is really, really a nice match to what we do in amateur
radio. A couple of hams here in Tucson love it, and it is very nicely
suited to making ham radio widgets :)
Cura software (also free) is used to take the output of FreeCAD and create
"gcode" which drives the 3D printer.
The heat insert tool that Paul referred to in his previous email can be
seen at the link below:

As for material, I get filament made by eSun which prints very nicely. I
use PLA+ for stuff indoors, and PETG for outdoor products.
Fun Fact: I print 27 whistles in a batch (takes 23 hours), add split
rings, and give them away as gifts. They're about a dime each.
Another Fun Fact: "Thingiverse" contains 1000's of projects that can be
printed.
All of this information is well known to avid 3D printer people, and I'm
sure others can chime in with their perspective / ideas / product
recommendations.
BOTTOM LINE: If you like to build stuff, ANY stuff, and are willing to
learn a very minor amount of software, the payoff is very very high!

Dear
The Vega rocket was successfully launched. The satellites were separated.
