[amsat-bb] Re: amsat satellites in use
For relatively recent status and frequencies, take a look at http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/status.php . I'm not familiar with the Unitrac interface, but I am familiar enough with Nova to strongly recommend you avoid it in favor of SatPC32 ( http://www.amsat-na.com/store/item.php?id=100020 ). What university are you at, and are you working on a cubesat project? 73, Drew KO4MA AMSAT VP Operations -Original Message- >From: mahdine...@aut.ac.ir >Sent: Oct 11, 2010 5:36 AM >To: amsat-bb@amsat.org >Subject: [amsat-bb] amsat satellites in use > > >Dear amsat member. >I am a university student and research on getting stated with amsat satellites. >could you please tell me what amsat satellites are in use and i can receive >beacon and telemetry from them? >also How do I can setup a UniTrac 2003 with a G-5500 rotor?

[amsat-bb] AO-51 mode: dual repeaters (to support JOTA)
Hello All, Thanks to Kevin WA6FAF we are now running dual repeaters on AO-51, as per the schedule below. The 145.880/435.150 repeater is for QRP operations only --unless-- you are contacting a Scout station during the Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) this weekend. The early part of this week is a GREAT time for new and/or inexperienced operators with simple/portable gear to make some contacts on the QRP repeater! Some hams are reluctant to attempt contacts because of the normally fast pace on 435.300, so here is a chance for folks to make some contacts they might otherwise not even attempt... Encourage people to make use of this mode--both for QRP and for JOTA!!! Operators on the East coast can expect some early morning interruptions on 435.150 while we download telemetry. AO-51 Schedule October 10 (late UTC) FM Repeater, V/U Uplink: 145.920 MHz FM (no PL tone) Downlink: 435.300 MHz FM QRP (Oct. 10-15) and JOTA (Oct. 16-17) Only FM Repeater, V/U Please give way to JOTA stations or QSO’s with JOTA stations Uplink: 145.880 MHz FM (no PL tone) Downlink: 435.150 MHz FM 73, -- Mark L.

At the Symposium this past weekend many people were recognized for their efforts and achievements for the prior year; I think the Journal will list them all in due time. Germane to this thread--both Patrick WD9EWK and John K8YSE were appropriately recognized for their incredible effectiveness with making contacts and promoting our niche of the hobby. Way to go, guys! The contacts these two alone have chaulked up is nothing short of amazing... 73, Mark N8MH On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 4:05 PM, Peter Portanova wrote: > Clint, > > Well said,Clint, Patrick, WD9EWK and you are also very knowledgeable and > approachable, enough said I used up all my syllables for the day! > > 73- Pete > WB2OQQ > > Subject: [amsat-bb] WD9EWK - Hardest Workin' AMSATter > > >> We have to create a "Hardest Workin' AMSAT Member" award, and give the >> first one to Patrick.

You AMSAT folks out there need to watch this dude in action. His set up, his technique, tuning the radio ... the works ... teach you something just watching him. Patrick's enthusiasm and operating skill makes ya want to run out and grab your satellite gear and operate too. Good luck to Clint this weekend too ... working at one of the big ones. -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM k9...@amsat.org Editor, AMSAT News Service Copy Editor, AMSAT Journal ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: AMSAT Banner
The amsat banner is not an item we sell as they are quite expensive. If you are going to be at a hamfest with a table a wish to offer the amsat goodies up as well as have demonstrations, then you can request from martha a goodie box. It will come with a lot of neat stuff including a banner and member applications to mention a few of the items. 73...bruce Sent from my iPhone On Oct 11, 2010, at 2:25 PM, Bob Herrell wrote: > HI all, > > Where can I get an AMSAT Banner to use when we do demos?

[amsat-bb] SO-67 sounds fuzzy?
Got my first QSO on this very strong SAT. Signal is at least 3 S units more here than than the average pass of other birds. Very excited about working it. But the audio on it did sound very "fuzzy" to me. Not the usual crisp clear FM I hear on AO-27, SO-50, and AO-51 when tuned in to center. I tried FM and FM narrow on my FT-857 and tried fine tuning with the VFO but it didn't seem to help. Is this the nature of this bird or am I missing something I need to change on my settings? 73's Mike WB1AAT ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

Hi all, Lately my LVB Tracker (USB) has been stopping in the middle of a pass. It does not happen all the time, but lately it has been happening more often. When this happens I have to turn the G-5500 off/on then restart SatPC32. Has anyone experienced this with their tracker? I wonder if I should remove the USB chip and use the RS-232 port.

Clint, I couldn't agree more. Add to all you and the others have said, Patrick is a great Elmer. I first met him at WestFest in Glendale back in January and his demo convinced me that I wanted to work the birds. He's been a great help to me as I learn the ropes of working satellites. He always has the time to answer my questions (and anticipate a few as well. He's gonna be blushing when he get back home..:) BTW, you're a pretty strong voice as well. 73 Clear Skies Rick Tejera Editor SACnews, Public Outreach Coordinator Saguaro Astronomy Club Phoenix, Arizona www.saguaroastro.org saguaroas...@cox.net K7TEJ -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Clint Bradford Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 12:27 To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] WD9EWK - Hardest Workin' AMSATter We have to create a "Hardest Workin' AMSAT Member" award, and give the first one to Patrick.
