[amsat-bb] RCI-SE G5500 Interface
Trying to setup Sat32PC, I have a G-5500 rotor and using an RCI-SE control board. I have been using Linux gpredict and hamlib to control rotor OK but wanted to try Sat32PC so trying setup a system. ARSWIN says I'm at 45 degrees when antennas are actually at 90 degrees. If I tell ARSWIN to go to 90 degrees antennas will then be at 180 degrees. Nowhere in setup can I find something to correct this. ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] KD8KSN/p EN80/EM89 this Afternoon
I have made a last-minute decision to operate from the EN80/EM89 gridline this afternoon. I will be on the AO27 pass at 1946z and AO51 at 2040z. There is a very, very slight chance I will NOT be on AO27 at 1946z, but that is a very remote chance. 73! Zack KD8KSN ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-7 Mode A antennas
Hi John, I have worked AO-7 on field day using a 4-foot vertical plugged into an ARR preamp. 73, Tony AA2TX --- At 11:52 AM 10/30/2010, John Neeley wrote: I notice, looking at the logbook on the AO-7 website that the Europeans utilize Mode A alot more than use here in NA. Since the downlink frequency is in the upper 10 meter band, and I wondering what antenna they are using for receive? I have tried dipoles, horizontal loops, G5RV, etc to pretty much zero luck in hearing the bird, even with close passes. Any info would be appreciated.. John W6ZKH ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Interference
Mr. Larry: Good afternoon, this same 145,800 khz FM interference occurs in Bogotá Colombia, there are several telephones in service, brand SENAO, which are sold freely without control of the communications authorities Personally I can not work as an amateur radio on ISS 145,800 kHz FM frequency, sometimes the case with the satellite AO-51. Amateur radio frequencies are occupied by squatters, such as taxi companies, hotels, among others, however that writing and recordings have been made known to the authorities of Control communications, but so far has resulted in a eradication of these pirates.

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-7 Mode A antennas
I've had recent Mode A success into Europe (Germany, France and Italy), using a cut-down Radio Shack CB magmount whip. It's stuck on to a large metal serving tray borrowed from the kitchen. I hide it behind an easy chair in a corner of the shack. 73 GL! Nick KB1RVT ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-7 Mode A antennas
Jeff: I have not used an external 10M preamp yet, but I just got an ARR from another op, so I'll be giving it a try. So far, I've used my FT-847 and the internal preamp. It has not been as consistent as Mode B, but when the 10M signal is coming in, reception is usually fair to good. I have noticed quite a bit of QSB at times, so it's worth being patient.
