[amsat-bb] Powering a UHF mast mound LNA from a TS2000
Does the Kenwood have a inline 12V power supply option like the Icom 821? I can't seem to find it? Or do I need to connect a separate power lead to my ARR mastmount amp? 73 Pieter ZS1PK/M0PAK -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions, e-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF) standard.

It just passed over me a couple of hours ago. The signal is very weak compared to last Saturday. I could tell the satellite was there, but couldn't make out what anyone was saying.

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51
It's on, but the power on 435.300 is less than a third of what it was last Saturday, since we are running two repeaters for Field Day. We are also in the really inefficient part of the transmitter power curve. AO-51 is five years old this month, and her age is beginning to show. Power levels will start to go back up soon, as we reenter continuous illumination before the end of July. 73, Drew KO4MA - Original Message - From: Dacia Warren Brandt wabr...@madtel.net To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 9:23 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 It just passed over me a couple of hours ago.

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51
If I recall correctly from a post last week, the U/V pair is operating at roughly 290 milliwatts RF out on transmit, and the L/U pair is at roughly 260 mW. In other words, each transmitter is operating on slightly more than SO-50 (250 mW) power levels. I have had passes this week where the satellite was armchair copy on one pass, and about like has been described this evening on another. I suspect the lower power levels (half or less of what has been nominal for most of the past year) and the inevitable mismatch (depending on the angle between the satellite and a given ground station) of its circular-polarized antennas to many ground stations' linear-polarized antennas are contributing to the reception differences. Drew (KO4MA) or Gould (WA4SXM) can comment - and I hope they will if this is incorrect - but I suspect that AO-51 continues to operate as it has recently. I appreciate very much their efforts to maintain the satellite. That being said, it will definitely prove to be a challenge to work for many Field Day stations. I hope I can get the one contact on it that I can count for the club FD effort I'll be a part of. And I hope that other stations will make their one allowed contact and give other stations the same chance to get theirs. Best of Field Day luck and 73 to all, Tim - N3TL -- Original message from Jeff Yanko wb3...@cox.net: -- Wondering if AO-51 is operating? Just listened for the 2357z pass and nothing received.

[amsat-bb] AJ9K on FM birds from KL7 (2-11 July)
I will be on vacation in Alaska between July 1 - 11, and will try to be active during a few passes during my stay. I will be using my 5w VX-5R HT and AL800 whip on AO27, SO50 and AO51, if in mode J. Here's my schedule: 2 July2 BP51 Anchorage 3-4 July AO63 Dutch Harbor, Aleutian Isl 5-8 July BP64 Fairbanks 9-11 July BP42 Denali NP While in transit, I may be able to fit in a few more grids. Since this is a vacation, and I will have minimal control over my schedule (that's my family's job, and I'm only a minority voting member...). I hope to be as active as practical. 73, Dan AJ9K ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
