I "had" a really nice Yaesu 857D with an ATAS120A antenna on my truck, however someone at the Orlando Hamcation in 2024 wanted my stuff more. Smashed out my window and stole my stuff .... MUH!

and make plenty of contacts.

do i cut through a group of 40 callers just to sound like a bored rich fart that paid for voice acting classes? no

but i've still made some great contacts from Michigan into Europe pretty easily.

I actually had that happen back when I had TM-D700 in vehicle. Seems someone really wanted it. Interestedly, because my auto and home owners were through the same company, they actually covered the lose minus like a small deductible at the time.

Right now, I am pretty much just down to a few HTs. I had to get rid of a lot of stuff when the wife and I RV'd full time for 3 years. Now that we are not doing that, we been dealing with getting the house in order. Which is why I am still down to just the HTs. Hopefully by the end of year, I might actually get some new gear.

I successively decode voice data of Inmarsat SAT (1545Mhz) with RTL-SDR Blog
L Band antenna and the JAERO software.

Hi fusion,

i have a rinky-dink antenna like this one: https://i0.wp.com/k4fmh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_5695.jpg

Nice Antenna! I only have 10 mts of speaker wire, a heating pipe as a ground, 9:1 unun and my SDR (SDRPlay and others).

Same here, except I use the various online SDR networks; no antennae required.

Don't fall for what? Nothing wrong with people talking about their setups. That's part of being a ham.

Sorry, i don't remember. Maybe a "RTL-SDR.com" tutorial, on their book "THE HOBBYIST'S GUIDE TO THE RTL-SDR" on Amazon. Or one "Tech Minds" YT video.

I also listen some web-SDR like "sdrpt.pt" in Portugal. Listen CB/10m bands.
