[amsat-bb] Re: Antenna Opinions?
Hi Greg et al I have been partial with the helix for satellites. I run 10W to a 16 turn helix through 40 feet of LMR-400. I rarely have an issue getting into AO-51. I believe AO -51 is our only L band bird, I try to "exercise" my gear when the opportunity is there. I experience very little fading with the L band uplink, input to the satellite is quite solid down to fairly low elevations. The yagi would as you mentioned would better for terrestial 1.2ghz stuff. 73 Bob W7LRD - Original Message - From: "Greg D."

Hi folks, So, we had a swap meet a couple of weekends ago, and I found a bargain I couldn't refuse. Of course, now I need to decide what to do with it... The Find was a 35 element 1296mHz antenna, well built and in excellent condition. Linearly polarized, horizontal; supposed to be 23dBi gain. Manufacturer, of course, is unknown. No markings, but it does not look home-built. By the mounting hardware, it looks like it was part of some sort of stacked array. The problem is that I already have a 1296mHz antenna. Home-made, circularly polarized, 18 turns Helix. Should be something like 17dBic, if the calculations are correct. In the shack, which is at the wrong end of 60' of 1/2" hardline and a total of about 15' of RG-213 or something like it, I have my Yaesu 736R and its 10 watts of screaming RF power. No preamps. Which antenna should I keep up on the rotor assembly? Last weekend I put up the new antenna. I've made one AO-51 LU pass with the new antenna, and I was not impressed. Several times I couldn't get into the bird, presumably because of the crossed polarization. But when I did get in, it was full quieting, even at low elevations. I don't recall having this much trouble with the Helix. I think AO-51 is the only current satellite on L-band, right? For other uses, there's nothing terrestrial to aim at, repeaters-wise; they're all hiding behind one or more hills, or went off the air years ago. That leaves Weak Signal work (hence the horizontal mounting). I do have one shot into the valley, to the North West, but probably slim pickings for contacts. I haven't tried EME. I'm leaning towards putting the Helix back up, and passing the new one on to someone more able to use it. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Greg KO6TH ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Antenna Opinions?
Greg, I would keep the one that works the best. I have been disappointed in the performance of long boom Yagi's for UHF. Resistance loss in the elements often reduces the gain by several dB over calculated gain. Also they are very narrow band, the helix is good for an octave.

[amsat-bb] ND9M Road Trip Update #3
Here's a tentative schedule for Cori and me tomorrow (Wed, 22 Sept) as we take the grid hunters route from Thermopolis, WY, to Grand Teton NP. Emphasis is on tentative, but with several passes available to my QTH, including two HO68 passes, we should be able to get to five and maybe even six grids if we keep our stops to a minimum. Sat / local AOS / Grid(s) HO68 / 22/1707Z / DN53 & DN63 HO68 / 22/1855Z / DN52 AO27 / 22/1931Z / DN52 AO27 / 22/2110Z / DN62 AO51 / 22/2235Z / DN51 & DN61 On Thursday, we'll swing up along the western side of the state and hit DN41 and DN42 along the way. Our current destination will be at Grand Teton in DN43 where we're expecting to camp for three days. For the 6M ops, I'm still CQing for several minutes on 50.125 MHz after each pass, but I've heard nothing but noise. Even though I'm running the rig off batteries on a short leash and with the car shut off, I'm also getting S8 noise. That's not unusual when I'm in or near a town, but following today's DN54 / DN64 operation at Bald Mt. in north central Wyoming, there was nothing around for miles, yet the S meter was sitting on 9. I'll keep trying though. 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC Thermopolis WY / Hot Springs Co. / DN53 ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Jamboree on the Air, October 16 &17 -- Let the Scouts have the Birds.
Greetings to the list, The 53rd Jamboree on the Air is coming up on October 16th and 17th and many groups who are hosting events for Scouts are going to attempt to do satellite contact demos. These contacts always stir up lots of excitement for the Scouts present. As a person who is leading up a JOTA event at the National Scouting Museum in Irving, Texas as K2BSA/5, I would like to request as much leeway as possible be given on those dates for Scout groups, especially on the FM birds. Many of these portable stations will be using HTs and Arrow/Elk antennas and just will lose out on things if they get buried by high power, fixed stations. The whole purpose of JOTA is to expose the Scouting community to the excitement of Ham radio and we want to present as positive an image as we can on that weekend. I know this is just one guys opinion and I also know that this mailing list only goes to a small percentage of Hams involved with Satellite communications, but hopefully it will help to keep things sane on that weekend. I thank you all for your time and consideration in reading this and hope you get involved with a JOTA location near you. These kids are our future in the hobby.

[amsat-bb] Re: SatPC32 & Easy Com
Hi Rick, Yes it does, and it works well. If you tell SatPC32 that you have a SAEBRTrackbox tracker, it will use the EasyComm I communication protocols. 73, Mark N8MH (co-creater of SAEBTrack tracker) On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 8:55 AM, Lawn, Richard wrote: > Can anyone tell me if SatPC32 works with Easy Com style rotor interfaces? > Rick > W2JAZ > > > ___ > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS keps
I noticed that over the weekend. He reported being over the junction of Lakes Huron and Erie, when the tracking program showed him over the east coast. I think he's just looking out the window at an angle rather than straight down.

[amsat-bb] Re: New to APRS
Clint, I have been looking for a reference like that for some time, but as someone else has mentioned, there really doesn't seem to be an "APRS for Dummies" to recommend. Recently the area where I live "discovered" APRS, and it required a bit of effort to keep some of the more enthusiastic members from going off into the weeds. WB4APR's site is the best in that it is the most current and accurate. One thing to watch for is that there have been some changes as the technology evolves, but there are a lot to references which include old data. For instance, the paths used to include terms such as RELAY and WIDE. These have been replaced with WIDE1-1 and WIDEN-n. You will still see excellent discussions in most aspects which have the old information on paths. Fortunately the basics are easy to pick up by osmosis. I would suggest subscribing to the TT4 mailing list for specific information, and the TAPR APRS mailing list for general information. The APRS list can get heated at times, but there are no questions too dumb to ask. I know, since I have asked most of them. Great bunch. I use the TT3 and TT4, and use the latter to run a small fill-in digi, so drop me a note off list if I can help with any specific questions.

But say this ham attended, for example, a local ham convention over the weekend, and met the fine folks at Byonics. Further say this ham picked up a TinyTrak4, display, GPS receiver, and associated radio cabling - hooked it all up - and is receiving packet info. What book/manual/text would you recommend to this fictitious ham to learn more about this exciting aspect of amateur radio? Please let me know ... and I will make sure to read --- er, I mean, I'll be sure to pass on the info to this ham. Clint, K6LCS ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
