[amsat-bb] HO-68 Not Heard ?
Hi, I noticed the beacon info showed for 5 cycles before switch on ( 18h45 UTC) that temp was 21C . FM and DIGITAL was active normal for 13 mins 23 sec after switch on. There after beacon still on and reported xponder on but silent and temp was now 25 and 26C ? Wonder if this was a "tempreture" output shutdown ? 73 andre zs2bk ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: W1PEA (SK)
I to am saddened by the news of Judd's passing. I had many enjoyable contacts with him over the period between 1995 and 2000. Judd was on almost every pass. I'm sure we worked on all of the active analog birds during that period. It somehow seems appropriate that our last contact was via AO-10. 73 de Jess - W4MVB - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 2010 1:17 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] W1PEA (SK) > Hello Satellite Friends, > It is with deep regret that I report on > the passing of a dear friend. > W1PEA,Judd Bodycote passed away this morning. > Judd was active on the satellites for than 25 years. > > 73 es RIP W1PEA(SK) > > de KB8VAO,Steve > ___ > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] FO-29 Status
JARL announced the status of FO-29 on Jan 29th at JARL WEB in Japanese. This is English translation. --- The present conditions (January 29, 2010) of FUJI3 (FO-29) FUJI3(FO-29) has been stopped the continuous operation and moved to planed schedule operation because it can not have enough battery charge current from beginning of November. The command of JTA (an analog transponder) ON has been sent for a confirmation examination from the control station at 11:33 on January 27th(UTC). JH1EKH/1, JR8LWY, VK5HI have reported to us that "FO-29 still works" . There is a possibility that FO-29 has been working consecutively after we sent transponder ON command on January 27. It is thought that the electricity income and expenditure is improved by the decrease of the shade rate, and the transponder is working continuously. If someone has information of telemetry or other working status related from January 27th 11:30(UTC) to 28th 19:20(UTC), Please send it to JARL technical section. In addition, when FO-29 battery power is lower than setting value, a transmitter becomes OFF automatically by UVC. If you find the transponder is getting off, please send the information of transponder off time and date to JARL technical section. Please use FO-29 without restriction but use proper uplink power. Thanks JARL command team. Yutaka Murata JA1COU ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

[amsat-bb] FS - 23cm M2 antenna
I have an M2 23CM22EZ antenna for sale, 16dbd gain, 28dB front to back. It will take 600 watts (!), and survive 100mph winds, overall length is 63 inches which is about 5 and bit feet in old money. And that was where the problem was; 5 and a bit feet was just too long for my available space so I ended up buying one of Bob's (W7LRD) most excellent helicals. So its never been in the air, just gathering dust in my garage. Looking at HRO, it seems that maybe M2 have superseded this model with the 23CM22EZA which retails for a whopping $185! Any interest on here before I fleaBay it at the weekend! Let me know off board; I have photographs that I can send you! 73 -- David KG4ZLB www.kg4zlb.com ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: FO-29 Status
Hi All, I experience the same, great signal during the whole pass. One remark and I don't no if others experience the same. I use SatPC32 and during the begining of the pass I have to correct the uplink freq for about 300hz and at the end it is 0hz again. I am puzzled because FO-29 is the only one I experience this.

[amsat-bb] AO-51 L/U mode
Well, tried to work AO-51 tonight during my 2232utc pass, but was unsuccessful. I did hear WO3T (FN00) during the pass and was the only one I heard. Sounds like this mode (once you over come the transmit problems) will be a great quiet mode to work. I didn't really think I'd get into the bird with 10 watts and a discone antenna but thought I'd try. Looks like its time to get a good 1.2ghz antenna and get it installed when I get my arrays put back up. Anyways, thought I'd let Carmen know he wasn't whistling in the wind and that some one did hear him. Sounds good. Really need to get the uplink antenna going here.

If anyone hears them, or more information becomes available, please post it here! As a reminder, AMSAT has two Arrow antennas, and a TH-D7 available for loan to any member going on a DXpedition, or grid trip. This is the same gear used to activate K5D last year about this time. The D7 is programmed with Alpha-Memory tags for the FM satellites and has both rechargeable and AA battery packs, and is very simple to use. Contact me if you have a need to use it. 73, Drew KO4MA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
