AMSAT Satellites With Tripod Mounted ELK - Operating Ham Radio Portable Balcony Myrtle Beach SC

This was my ham radio satellite set up during our recent trip to Myrtle Beach South Carolina.

This uses my six dollar solution for tripod mounting, or monopod mounting, and ELK antenna. Check out my channel here on YouTube for more information on the six dollars solution. See    • Elk Satellite Antenna working with both a ...  

I also came up with an easy solution for a microphone and headphones extension for my Yaesu FT 991 so that I can listen to the pass while manually adjusting the direction of the antenna. Also by using Teamviewer, I was able to control the frequency with my iPad while the transceiver stayed in the dining room.

While this approach worked well for making several contacts during our month-long stay in Myrtle Beach, operating from a balcony is very limiting since two thirds of the compass is blocked by the building.

Just this week, I purchased the Kenwood TH-D72a so that I can operate the FM birds full-duplex for future portable operations. Stay tuned for upcoming videos showing this approach.
