ISS

With my homebrew 2mtr Yagi (picture of me and the yagi on stand below :) ) and the TH-D72A... getting into some nice passes of the ISS.

Note that I worked in the parking lot while at work, in Mr. Laurel, but here's a pic showing the yago in the foreground:

I worked both a 21deg and 61deg pass of the ISS this afternoon:

Still didn't complete a QSO, but I'm learning the TH-D72 display and quirks

Fun times.

This is a MUCH better radio than the UV-5R. More money, of course, but performance to match!
