HAM RADIO – How To Make A VO-52 SAT QSO
Using a home made 10 element 435 & IO Loop for 145MHz, with a Yaesu FT-847. Simon - 2E0HTS, adjusts his (uplink) transmitted signal to correct the doppler of the Received (downlink) frequency whilst talking to fellow Ham Operators around Europe. Thanks to the Stations worked via the VO-52 Satellite which were SP9FPP, PD0HF & SP6DCO. Stations Worked in the video are All Licenced Amateur Radio Operators. more info at www.hamradiooperator.blogspot.com

@Dreamlgider congrats on your set up.
Once you hear yourself adjust the uplink to remain on same downlink RX frequency.
Hope to hear you on the Satellites someday soon G L & 73

i have a station setup at the club with a 8 element cross yagi (8 each) and a 4 element vertical yagi and a small channel master rotor and at an angle of about 20-30 deg.
and the station is an old yaesu ft-726r.
question:
Once you are tuned(hear your self on the downlink) do you correct the up or down link for doppler ?

Hello Simon,
Nice video of Satelite you have worked well!!
I don’t know yet the operation to make QSO using the satelites, but I did see in your video,
it worked very well, your homebrew system! amazing!
because of very fine tuning, nice audio and low level noise…Very interesting for me.
( who don’t know well about the satelite working… hi hi.)
And Simon, Your hat….. Cuuuuuutee! Hi hi.
