Best to use 2 radios.  Might be able to work the UHF up VHF down satellites with one full duplex radio, but that is only 2 of the 5 active FM satellites.  We’ll need one person to aim the antenna, another to work the radios.  I have a headphone splitter and 2 sets of headphones.  You have to tune TX and RX in opposite directions to account for doppler shift as the satellite approaches / recedes.  From what I’ve heard listening so far the satellites can be busy and the passes go quick.

I feel like someone at the meeting said they could bring their satellite rig. Could we arrange it? If so, I will let the Villages know and see if I can confirm their interest.
