[amsat-bb] ND9M/MM Op Sked: EL72 & EL73 Update
I expect to be QRV from EL72 on VO52 at 27/1504Z. We'll be in this grid until around 27/2200Z, so I'll be able to get on again from EL72 at least one more time at 27/2113Z on FO29 before we cross into EL73. We should be in EL73 for about three hours, from about 27/2200Z to 28/0100Z. Based on that time frame, I'll be on from this grid as follows: AO51 - 27/2212Z FO29 - 27/2259Z AO7 - 27/2347Z After that we'll be in EL83 until daylight tomorrow morning. 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

The distance between our respective QTHs is 6715 km I also made others QSOs in these days on AO7 covering around 7000 km The satellite is working wonderful and I am QRV for other stations from North America who would like to attempt a QSO either in SSB or CW.

[amsat-bb] AO-51 uplink
The AO-51 repeater uplink was switched to 145.88 on the 2215 pass tonight. I realize there are multiple grid dxpeditions out and about, but that does not excuse some of the operating I heard tonight. If another station is in the middle of a QSO, stand by and let them finish. If you start to transmit and can't hear yourself, or you hear someone else in the downlink, stop transmitting and let them make the call. Finally, if you've worked that grid, or that station, or that country, how about taking a breather and letting someone else work it for a new one. 73, Drew KO4MA AMSAT VP Operations, and AO-51 Command Station ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 uplink
Drew, I'm confused, at least as to the uplink info. Are you saying the only V/U operation will now be 145.88/435.150? The web site is showing both that one and 145.920/435.300 ??? As for the 'operating practices' you describe, you should listen more. That is SOP on AO51 for many, many operators, unfortunately. 73, Ted K7TRK -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Glasbrenner Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2011 3:37 PM To: Amsat-BB; AO51 Modes; Mark Hammond Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-51 uplink The AO-51 repeater uplink was switched to 145.88 on the 2215 pass tonight.

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 uplink
The more I read the BB, it seems like some have endorsed the idea that getting grids are like an HF contest. I need to get them all today. Unfortunately, contesting has come to the birds in an indirect way. Get a grid and allow someone else the opportunity to get one. 73 Greg N3MVF -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of John Geiger Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2011 7:15 PM To: Andrew Glasbrenner; Amsat-BB; AO51 Modes; Mark Hammond Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 uplink How long will AO51 continue to use the new uplink frequency? 73s John AA5JG' - Original Message - From: "Andrew Glasbrenner" To: "Amsat-BB" ; "AO51 Modes" ; "Mark Hammond" Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2011 10:37 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-51 uplink > The AO-51 repeater uplink was switched to 145.88 on the 2215 pass > tonight.

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 uplink
I think that's a great idea, unfortunately I didn't see this in time to reprogram my ht. Maybe that's the answer, changing the uplink frequency at random and posting that change here. I would have loved to be able to work ZF2AE today, but with an ht it was impossible. Jim Adams - K0BAM Ridgway, Colorado ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
