John Brier, KG4AKV, has produced a video showing Paul Stoetzer, N8HM,
working AMSAT-OSCAR 92 (Fox-1D) in L/v mode (1267.359 MHz uplink, 145.880

There are cameos in the background of the video by fellow AMSATers Marty,
N9EAT, Ruth, KM4LAO, and others!

Equipment used was an Alinco DJ-G7T 144/430/1200 MHz handheld trans- ceiver
for the uplink and a Kenwood TH-D74 handheld transceiver to receive the
downlink. The antenna is a Comet CYA-1216E yagi with holes drilled in the
boom to accommodate the three 2 meter Arrow Antenna elements.

The antenna rotator system behind Paul/in front of the tent is a commercial
system by Portable Rotation:

He was not using it for this demo but it was tracking AO-92 during that
time.

Aside from this L-band demo, Paul used that for all the other AMSAT
satellite demos during Hamvention 2018. He had two Yaesu FT-817 radios on
the table and a computer controlling the rotators/antenna.

The antenna attached to it is the Alaskan Arrow II.
