[amsat-bb] QSL backs for roving satellite operators
Has anyone designed a QSL card back for satellite operators who operate a lot of rover? I am trying to trim cost and time associated with multiple cards to QSL my rover contacts. In the past I have hand written many /P cards and some image-based cards using photo printers, but would like to order a better quality card with an image front and QSO data on back. I'm looking for a QSL card back that has room for pertinent information such as my rover grid, satellite, and the necessary items to confirm a valid QSO for award purposes. The idea would be for the card to support at least four QSO's. My question is -- has anyone designed such a card and are you willing to share with me your image? Perhaps someone is a real graphics hound and would like to help? Thank you 73, Clayton W5PFG ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

Search for UX5UO and design your card with an empty spot for the grid. $48 for 1,000 cards with free shipping. 73 de Sebastian, W4AS On Jan 26, 2012, at 12:08 PM, Clayton Coleman W5PFG wrote: Has anyone designed a QSL card back for satellite operators who operate a lot of rover?

[amsat-bb] Re: HI4 Operations Suspended
Thank you for trying and providing the opportunity for HI4 and sorry it has been so unpleasant. Agree. Unfortunate. But I respect Bob’s choice -- it’s his time, his enjoyment. I listened to the 25-Jan 1807 pass (the day Bob “suspended”): http://www.papays.com/sat/AO-27_25Jan2012_180657z.mp3 Outside of some packet bursts and the “taxi drivers”, the only thing I hear is folks not letting grids and calls being exchanged both ways, on what were, I think, “pre-arranged” attempts (Bob was calling them). Because of the rapid-fire exchanges there is a tendency to consider that any “empty” time on a active FM bird is wasted time, so if the exchange is not completed on the first pass and there is a pause waiting for the repeat, folks can’t resist the open channel to call. I am not condoning it, but certainly understand the temptation. Bob also said he wanted to work new folks as well... not sure how many calling had already worked him. I guess only Bob knows for sure. And yes, we must remember that not everyone who works the birds reads this list, and would have known his desire. When I worked Bob, we did not complete exchanges on the first attempt (he did not confirm my grid), and 30 seconds later when there was a gap I called him again to confirm he had my grid. IMHO though, compared to passes that capture the full US in the foot print, that pass was actually pretty “organized”. I have heard much, much worse. Listen for yourself and decide. Then listen to the 16-Jan pass further down: http://www.papays.com/sat/general.html Bob, if you are reading, I hope you will be back on during the time you have left there. It is appreciated.

[amsat-bb] Phase 3 Express Launch Opportunities?
Despite the increased cost to launch a Phase 3E class spacecraft into a GTO type orbit it would seem a multitude of launchers are possibilities such as: 1. Molniya 8K78 launch vehicles from Plesetsk and Baikonur. I believe several dozens of Molniya 1, 2, and 3 series have been launch since 1965. This launch would be ideal and no propulsive component would be needed. 2. China’s Long March 3. India’s GSLV 4. Japan’s H-IIA 5. Space-X Falcon 9 6. Ariane 5 ME debut 2018 Also, what happen to the rideshare option? ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
