Worked someone last week on AO 7 but mostly I just hear myself. So I am convinced that the bird and I are in fact functional. I've listened, tuned around, and threw out my call, where is everyone? For example this early A.M. pass over NY. I heard myself pretty good. Tuned around... heard no one. Now and then just using this particular bird as an example, I've convinced myself I am going thru the bird normally but in the recent past also nothing... Just wondering, perhaps I am missing something? Hi Myles, N2EHG We have missed many satellite CW and SSB operators and got many on FM with HT and arrow antennas . Going to Dayton '12 It will get better with more support! Myles Dav Landstein N2EHG myles.landst...@gmail.com 73 de i8CVS Domenico ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

I was born 2 years before Sputnik, so I grew up with this as well. My earliest recollection was of a news item I saw on TV about an American launch.

Having learned my lesson, I try to keep my comments to the technical issues, but here goes. Has anyone been able to copy AUBIE? If so, tell me how you do it. I want to publicly thank Ed Long for his job as AMSAT Journal Editor. His guidance sure made things easy for article submissions. Delfi-n3Xt is good news. The linear transponder on the non-battery Delfi-C3 worked well until its failure. I still download packets from its scientific mode as it has excellent signals on 145.870. The JAVA based software is easy to load up and run needing only an audio link from the radio to a computer sound card. Hopefully n3Xt's design has a fail safe circuit so the battery won't take it down like so many, and it will operate on solar just like C3 and AO7.
