Satellite SO-50 on the Icom IC-9700 and a Cardinal on the X-Quad!

Welcome Back!
Join me for a fairly busy pass of FM Satellite SO-50. This was a good pass of the old bird, it is getting weaker by the month. But it still sounds good with the preamp on.
I decided this time to include the audio from the antenna view for background noise. At the start I get visited by a Cardinal who decides the X-Quad is a great place to take a break for a song! Oh....... and you get to hear the first emergence calls of the DREADED Cicada!

Thanks for posting! I was a bit surprised about the prices for your station, I was expecting multiple thousands of dollars for the antennas and about the same for the rig and antenna controllers. You have put together a great station! Great equipment picks!!
