Well Keith (KF7DRV) today was just a little warm up for your igate... Tomorrow we are going to give it a work out!

looks like we will have three beacons on the water. It should be a good day of APRS fun

Take care all and Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Hi Andy,

I'll make sure it keeps an ear out for traffic. It's running a new Alinco DR-135 that seems to have cured the issue I had with the older one. 

Good luck and have fun tomorrow!

73's,

Nice Work Robert!!

Did it take a bit of work or once you had it set up was it fairly easy?
Either way that's awesome.

Keep up the good work!

I Have become a  huge fan of that little DR 135. Once I get the Ski to Sea stuff behind me I am going to get back to working with mine.
Long live Packet Radio! 

Lol.

Looking at it again this morning I should have searched logs more last night because I see I was heard or at least in the mix several times.

To answer Andy: It was really quite easy since it was dark and the ISS is really bright.

I just took that Arrow Antenna I had at the last meeting, out in the yard and pointed it at the ISS as it passed over.
