We keep dancing around if you want to add a 7 turn helix for L-Band to your setup. Happy to put something together for you if you'd like.

I surely will. It would be later this year since I an still building my station. Thanks for the heads up. #Airspy
Replying to @MilcomMP
Hit me up for a side bar on that article Larry. (Please and thanks). The Airspy R2 is king of Iridium decoding and satdump has changed the Inmarsat STDC decode game and is making inroads to L-Band ACARS once the sole domain of Jaero.

Looks like the Airspy SDRs are really starting to get a workout from the satellite monitoring community. Great job PJ, I am impressed. BTW which Airdpy SDR and what converter were you using. I feel an article on some of this stuff in in a future TSM. #Airspy

Yes, its really easy to decode using the excellent SatDump tools - see xitter.cf/uhf_satcom/status/1629…

Off-the-shelf software and an Airspy Mini let Geoff capture this 260.125 d/l from geostationary orbit. You don't need a lot of radio to hear satellites these days. Congrads to Geoff and Prog at Airspy, Well done. #Airspy
Ok folks, I've finally managed to capture some audio from this DMR satcom downlink. Audio is broken in parts but hopefully enough to determine a possible source. Not a language I'm familiar with... anyone care to comment? #dmrsatcom audio.com/geoff.mcmaw/dsdplu…

This is an interesting intercept by Geoff. But what makes it even more so is that he was using an Airspy Mini and a VHF/UHF yagi. You don't need a lot of radio to hear satellites these days. Congrads to Geoff and Prog at Airspy, Well done. #Airspy
