Hello Outernet users,

I recently submitted a text file with a short message, my name, callsign, and email address.

I wasn’t sure if they will would be willing to broadcast it, but they did!

The first person to email was Chris EA4UC from Spain.

Here is a pic of my very slap-dash setup.

My setup is a raspberry pi 3, an rtl dongle from rtl-sdr.com, and the

LNA and patch antenna from Outernet. My snr varies between 5-8.

The Pi on the right is for ADS-B tracking.

Thanks to the Outernet team for giving us a new technology to play with, I really hope this catches on.

Welcome to the Outernet community.

Hello to all from Madrid - Spain.

I´m also happy of using this interesting project called Outernet. My setup is the DIY Receiver Kit connected to a Raspberry Pi 3.

My neighborhood is enjoying like me about the contents available via The Space Library from Alphasat. The SNR varies between 5 and 7.

Also I´m an amateur radio operator with callsign EA4UC and like to do small electronics projects and antennas.

Have a nice weekend.

Christian

Outernet in a bag :wink:
