To improve your contacts with the ISS using Doppler shift, know that as the ISS moves across the sky, it causes an apparent frequency change. For example, on 437.800 MHz, the received signal might vary by Β±9 kHz during a pass. Adjusting your radio frequency to compensate for this shift will help you hear more clearly. Modern radios, like the one shown, feature frequency tracking to assist with this. For more details, check AMSAT-UK.org's Beginners page on FM sats.

Planning an ISS repeater contact In addition to tracking the station across the sky, be sure you are tracking the frequencies Doppler shift.

The center frequency of 437.800 can shift +/- 9 kHz during a pass.

Vienna Convention puts embassies & consulates as β€œinviolable”: can’t be searched, entered, etc by security forces w/o permission of mission.

So a warrant is besides the point except as extra fascist fuckery.

Not extraterritorial in sense it’s Ecuadorian land…

…& this is not how one does things

so swap radios from FT991a to Xiegu G90

time to play FT8 with only 15-20w into main antenna instead of the smaller secondary antenna it normally uses for WSPR

the G90 has better ATU so i can play on 12M and 60m, which the ATU on the 991a wont tune the antenna on
