- In Episode 6 of DX Engineering’s Amateur Radio Satellite series, Sean Kutzko, KX9X, explores the fun of operating your amateur radio gear from a grid square other than the one where you live. Sean and four top U.S. rovers have plenty of tips for your next portable satellite adventure.
Tnx, Sean & all of my fellow rovers...73s...Tom KB5FHK
Thank you Sean KX9X for your series on getting on amateur radio satellites.
Very helpful video. Just ordered an Arrow and am excited to work some birds.
Even after working Satellites for over a year now, this video was very helpful and I had several take away points. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all of the great tips!!
Sean, Thanks for this exceptionally video series and the last episode was fantastic!
Great Video ! Lots of nice insights - TNX KB3H
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
This was so interesting, I watched it three times. Especially helpful were the Rover opinions - equipment rundown, procedures, useful apps and helpful tips. You might throw a few Multi- colored kids Chalk (the big fat ones) into your rover vehicle. You can actually draw a colored line on the road surface and comment each side. Chalk is cheap.
Thank you very much Sean, for that important information.Two grids at a time, good knowledge and tips imparted.

Hi Sean, long time no see! You know you're really whetting my whistle with these video episodes. TBH, I got a little burned out on contesting and I think Satellite ops will be my next adventure. Portable and roving is great for some but I'm leaning towards the automation and tracking. More money of course to go that way but the cool factor alone is just way cool. Good to see you maybe catch ya on the birds sometime soon. de W4ANT
Thank you ! I will try to activate all 4 gridsquare near me !
I am in FN46RX , I will try roving in FN47 FN56 FN57

In the early 90's I was ZP6XD in Paraguay and had a nice complete station and was a member of AMSAT-US and AMSAT-UK, went to AMSAT conventions in Orlando, FL, and Arizona, worked KO-23 and KO-25 digital mode satellites, did EME, and many other things. Those were the good days! Now I live in Chile, and I wondering if there is anything new in Amateur Satellite technology that is worth getting into? Like high speed digital modes, or high resolution earth imaging with downloading, or possibly direct laser link communications between ground stations and satellites? What is new?
Great video Sean! K6SUD
Interesting. How do rovers log the grid they operated from? Doesn't LOTW use your 'home' grid (associated with the address for your LOTW cert) by default?
You have to make different "Station locations" in LOTW for each grid you operate from
