A New Distance Record with an ESP-32 Module? Sort of. A cool video from HB9BLA.

 It was nice to watch a video from Andreas again.  And to be reminded of the presence in geostationary orbit of QO-100.  Really sad that we STILL have no equivalent over the United States. 

Andreas engages in a lot of the kind of digital wizardy that I have learned (because of my own shortcomings) to stay away from.  Still, this is a very interesting experiment, with lots of focus on antenna gain and path loss at UHF.  I plan on again listening to QO-100 via the website.  Thank you Andreas!

    This is incredible! Thanks!

    I went to the satellite's SDR,

    and was quickly treated to car-portable satellite CW by DJ4FF who transmits through the sunroof of his car!

    Be sure to listen to the SSB (USB) on the Qo-100 web site: https://eshail.batc.org.uk/nb/
