[amsat-bb] Re: WD9EWK's road trip - Wednesday (22 July) report
Hi Patrick and all! It was great to work 6 new grids over the past week, and I could've made a few more if passes would've been a bit more time friendly. :) In any case, I believe your trip was a huge success and many others will no doubtedly agree. It was nice to meet up with you, have lunch and chat for a bit on your final leg of the trip. Patrick, like I told you about Lake Mead, it is getting low, that's why I made the wisecrack about the water to the waitress. :) Another 19 foot drop and a formal emergency will be declared and the water distribution rights between the states, as well as Mexico, will be re-written. Sorry about the traffic over the dam, but the view and surroundings of the dam make up for any frustrations of waiting. :) 73, Jeff WB3JFS Las Vegas, NV DM26 - Original Message - From: "Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)" To: Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 11:04 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] WD9EWK's road trip - Wednesday (22 July) report > Hello! > > After 7 days and over 1905 miles/3066km on the road, I'm back home > in Phoenix.

Good morning everybody: I'm trying to find out a way to make work AO-27 telemetry software (AO-27 TLM) with the souncard and not with an external TNC. Perhaps there is another software or workaround to achieve it. Any suggestion will be wellcome. Thanks in advance. 73, Angel, EA4DUT ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

I talked to Erich earlier, because I found a small concern when switching between a V/U and U/V and then go back to a U only beacon sat, the software will not choose rhe right VFO.

[amsat-bb] DJ-G7T experiences
After a nearly 2 month wait, my rig came in recently. The good news is that they are coming through with the current firmware and manual. The manual is "OK" but lacks an index making things hard to find, and does not include all the menu items. Fortunately, after you get comfortable with the logic, it is easy to figure them out. The computer programming software is available so far only in Japanese, but they claim the English version will be available Real Soon Now. For normal operations, the RX and TX audio are excellent, and the wideband receive is useful, or at least fun. As with most HTs, the stock antenna could stand to be replaced, and has been. Packet works well, and the VOX simplifies interfacing. On the downside, the receivers are both less sensitive than they should be. In comparison with an ancient Icom HT with exactly the same specs, using the same antenna and location, marginal repeaters which are close to full quieting on the Icom are noisy and largely unreadable on the Alinco. More importantly for satellite use, the sub band which you must use for RX is significantly noisier. I use an ARR preamp. With it on, pointing to clear sky with an Elk antenna, I get 2-3 S-units of noise on the main RX. Using the sub RX, it is full scale, and actual readability is poor in comparison with the main RX. This is independent of whether the wideband RX function is on or off. Attenuators off of course. ;) I have had the impression that some of the old AMSAT hands at portable operation have been less than impressed, and so far that has been my experience. It will be interesting so see if there are any helpful firmware updates. While a disappointment so far for satellite use, I do expect to use this as my main HT for normal operations once the English programming software becomes available. Anybody have an experiences to share, hopefully positive? Alan WA4SCA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

If I didn't have fun, there's no logical reason to drive to some of these spots. I like traveling around, playing radio, and - when possible - meeting up with some of the hams I have heard on the birds. I hadn't realized how many different grids I operated from until last night. I thought I might exceed the 10 I worked from on my trip last July. Working from 14 was a complete surprise - until I looked at a grid map and saw all those grids. Six of the 8 Utah grids were new ones where I worked from (I worked from DM47 and DM57 last year), and now I think I have worked from 36 or 37 different grids in 6 states, one Canadian province, and one Mexican state since 2006. My satellite log for WD9EWK has crossed the 6000-QSO mark, not counting QSOs made from Canada or Mexico. > Sorry about the traffic over the dam, but the view and surroundings of the > dam make up for any frustrations of waiting. :) I knew it would be busy, but still a shorter travel time than the alternatives like driving from Las Vegas through Laughlin/Bullhead City to get to Kingman and then down to Phoenix. I was able to sit in traffic and get pictures of the new bridge, the low water levels in Lake Mead, and Hoover Dam without having to pull off the road near the dam. I still have to make a fuller writeup of the past week, the hamfest last weekend as well as the road trip. I know that the group working on the AMSAT Journal might want to put some of this in print, the narrative as well as photos. I have a few hundred photos on my camera, and not just of my GPS receiver and radio gear at each stop where I operated from. :-) With the summer heat here, I really should take some time to get my two FT-817 radios working with SatPC32, as well as printing QSL cards from this trip. Again, I had fun, and I hope others had fun working me while I was on the road. Now I can start thinking of my next long trip, which doesn't necessarily have to be a "road trip". 73!

[amsat-bb] Rare Grids and Gridpeditions
It's great to see the renewed interest in activating "rare" grids on the birds. If you don't have a particular grid worked and confirmed, it is a "rare" grid. It is important for all of us to recognize those who are operating "portable" in a grid away from their home. They are only there for a short period of time so giving them the frequency is the thing to do. If you hear a callsign that you have not worked before, call that person rather than someone you just talked with on the last pass. We need to encourage the new people as they are the future of the amateur space program. Use the portable designation if you are operating away from home so others will know that this might be a new grid. We have enjoyed a long stretch of AO51 being in the V/U mode on 435.300. After the end of the month, the bird will be in sunlight continuously and that will allow higher power and other modes to be used. If AO51 is in a non-V/U voice mode, as it was for a 2 week period not long ago, grid dxpeditions are not going to be worthwhile. If you plan a vacation ahead of time, you might find later that the bird will not be in a v/u voice mode during your trip. The Operations Team sets the schedule and they do it based upon requests from the membership for alternate modes. Personally I think that there should always be a 435.300/145.92 mode available. Everyone who is interested in chasing grids or activating grids away from their home should email KO4MA and request that V/U voice remain on. You cannot plan anything if you don't know if AO51 will be in V/U voice during your trip. The schedule is based upon input from the membership and if we don't make our requests, those that want the bird in other modes (both transponders) will most likely be served. The second transponder is fine for other modes but there are probably some modes that cannot be activated if V/U voice is to remain on. Maybe Drew can clarify this for us. There are some that would say that there are other satellites that can be used for FM voice. Very true, however, if you are out there trying to activate grids, not having AO51 available is a handicap. You spend a lot of money to do it and then have 1/3 of your potential air time, on the best FM satellite up there, not available to you. It makes no sense. I'm on L band now and will have S band RX running soon. I enjoy setting up for different modes. But after you work a few stations in those modes, and fine tune your equipment, there's not much left. Chasing grids never ends. There's always one more to work. If you are interested in working or activating new grids, please email KO4MA and request that AO51 always have one V/U voice transponder available. There is no guarantee that this will always work, but if there are no emails, it is likely that there will be more periods of non V/U voice on AO51. John K8YSE ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Rare Grids and Gridpeditions
John, I certainly understand where you are coming from, although I disagree with some of your positions. AO-51 is currently our only satellite with multiple modes (other than ISS), our only S band satellite, our only BBS, our only L band satellite, etc. Unfortunately our power budget doesn't allow us to run every mode we want to at the same time. This problem will only get worse as the batteries age. We are already at the point where after this extended period of mostly full illumination, we will most likely only be able to run one transmitter at any time, and possibly not the S band in eclipse at -all-. The good news is that the full illumination lasts for quite a while, and during this period we can support two UHF transmitters at a high power level, or one UHF at modest power and the S band transmitter. If we run separate S and UHF, the UHF downlink will have to be on 435.150, as the 435.300 and S transmitters share an audio path. So...that being said, do not expect us to completely forego L and S just for more grid swapping, as fun as it is (I'm at 550 confirmed). Send your requests in early for whatever mode you'd like, and we will try to honor them. Meanwhile, get your S band downconverters ready for portable ops, your 817s and 706s working with SatPC32 on a laptop, and be ready to occasionally run your grid trips on ALL the satellites. It's a real shame to hear so many ops on V/U FM, and so few on V/U and U/V SSB/CW. Since I try to walk the walk, look for me on the SSB -and- FM birds as G/ and OZ/KO4MA over the next 2.5 weeks. I hope to stretch the footprint to North America on FO-29 and AO-7 with my little 817 and Arrow setup. Mode requests should go to ao51-mo...@amsat.org, not to me direct. 73, Drew KO4MA > We have enjoyed a long stretch of AO51 being in the V/U mode on > 435.300.
