[amsat-bb] Re: 1.2 GHZ to AO 51 with 1 watt ?

[w7lrd]

Hi Mark-Maybe with a fairly high gain antenna and a high elevation.  That would 
be fun to play with.  Tracking the doppler would be a challange.  But then, "if 
it were easy, everyone would be doing it".

I recently acquired a 1.2 GHZ handheld that has a max output of one watt.   Any 
thoughts about how well this would work with AO51 ?  Would a hand held antenna 
be feasible ?   Just curious.  Thnx

[Rodney Waln]

i hate cross posting, so please don't shoot me :-]
i have built one of the 1296 as seen on this thread the person the posted it 
had pictures:
 http://www.worldwidedx.com/home-brew-mods/35899-homebrew-1-2-ghz-10-element-yagi-antenna.html
 
it is the WA5VJB version, i have also built other versions 145,220 MHZ...ect
so if you hear me on AO-51 with a messed up signal it will be the IC-x2a's falt.

[amsat-bb] Re: 1.2 ghz antenna?

[N0JY]

I have been using a homebrew helix that I built on the VE3NPC design.  
It works quite well, and wasn't too expensive to build.  Sorry I can't 
remember how much I spent, but it was probably less than $50 easy.

Google VE3NPC and you should be able to find the design.

[amsat-bb] L/U report

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

We had quite the crowd tonight on L/U. I heard and worked K8YSE, KG4ZLB, 
KC9ELU, K4YYL, WO3T, WB8OTH, KD8CAO, and N8MH. Counting myself that makes 
nine on one pass, 10 if we count the radar operator. Can we do better before 
the end of the week?

[amsat-bb] iPhone / iPod touch Tracking software

[GW1FKY]

Hi all,
Further to the recent posting on the BBS about availability of  "  Tracking 
Software " for iphones.
I thought that I would point out that Jim Berry also now has tracking  
software for the iPhone / iPod Touch.
PocketSat3 is now available ( including a demo version ) from his web site  
_http://www.bigfattail.com_ (http://www.bigfattail.com) 
or _www.pocketsat.com_ (http://www.pocketsat.com) 
 
Jim's  versions for PDA's such as Palm and Pocket PC have been around  of 
course for some time now and 
prove to be very useful when operating portable. Some of these devices are  
available so cheap these days
but are of course some are much very much slower than an iPod.
They still do the job with prediction and tracking and have proved very use 
 for me not only for operating but also for demonstrations on working  
satellites.
Good luck and you will find Jim very helpful, he is also   looking its use 
on other possible Windows mobile
devices.

Oh - I'd appreciate it if you'd point out the existence of PocketSat3  
for the iPhone / iPod Touch when you're demoing. A new iPod Touch 
costs  < $200 and blows the doors off of the Palm devices - and 
PocketSat3 is  way cooler than PocketSat+, as well. ( www.pocketsat.com  )

I don't think Bob has a website up at the moment but no doubt he will 
read this thread and respond to any interested people.

As an aside, he also donates 20% (I think its 20%) of every sale to AMSAT.

I can send you pictures of mine if that helps (?)

[Fabio Roccatagliata]

Hi everybody,

I've noticed how the UX-9100 looks like the UX-910 just with "something
more" probably for interfacing the radio with the module.
I hope they really changed the module otherwise I would appreciate, since
I'm quite sure the module is the same, if Icom would allow us to use the
UX-910 module even if I don't think so.
