This week, we've gathered some interesting material for those of you exploring beyond the usual HF fare. There's a good piece on current satellite operations, covering both LEO and GEO birds, which is always something worth revisiting as the constellations evolve. For the portable ops crowd, we’ve got a practical guide to POTA antennas, focusing on field-friendly designs. And if you're looking to get on 10 meters with a minimal footprint, there's a neat build for a vertical antenna using common hardware store parts. Plus, a rigid 6-meter Moxon construction that won't break the bank, and a look at a long-standing DX group.

This week, we’ve pulled together a few items that touch on practical antenna work and some digital modes. There’s a good look at a multi-band portable dipole, something that comes up often for field day or SOTA ops, detailing a switching arrangement for 40 through 15 meters. We also have a piece on building and testing 50 MHz traps, comparing different capacitor types—useful for anyone experimenting with 6-meter antennas. For those running APRS, a comprehensive symbol table is included, which is always handy for interpreting what you see on the map. Finally, we’ve got a mention of open-source firmware for LoRa transceivers and a popular Android application for APRS tracking, both relevant for modern portable and mobile setups.
