Hi everyone,

Is anyone working the Orionids meteor shower? A friend of mine is trying on
6m using MSK144. The peak was over a few days ago but I'm told there's
still activity.

I hope you don't mind a response in the negative (I liken it to telling someone.. IT WORKS ON MY COMPUTER.. (Yeah thanks..).. Though we need activity in here.

I have not done any work in the extraterrestrial side of ham radio.. I should at least set a goal of building a handheld tape measure satellite antenna and working an satellite or two...

It's fun to work satellites and meteor showers. I'm hoping that after my foot gets fixed and I go back to work that I can afford to get a small home with a backyard where I can put up a few antennas and have room to do more ham radio-related things like work satellites.

I did work the ISS once using a handheld 2m rig and a handheld tape measure Yagi. It was fun!
