[amsat-bb] HR9/WQ7R
HELLO EVERYONE, for those who worked HR9/WQ7R EK66, I received my QSL card from him on 3.17.12 for our satellite contact back on October 3, 2011. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE POSTAL SERVICE IN Honduras IS VERY EXPENSIVE. 73's all and keep the faith, the cards are coming! Frank K4FEG ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] DM90 operation today
If the weather cooperates, I'll be operating QRP portable from DM90 for the ~1852Z SO-50 pass and the ~1935Z AO-27 pass. We have severe weather (high winds, hail and possible tornados) predicted, but it's not supposed to arrive until late afternoon or evening. 73 Glenn AA5PK San Angelo, TX ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Satellite Recordings 2 Year Anniversary
Today marks the two year anniversary of my satellite recordings website. Since March 18th, 2010, there have been about 2800 recordings posted totalling about 1.9Gb. AO-51 is the most recorded satellite with 1358 files. It was a great bird and its demise was a great loss to the satellite community. But the sound from it is preserved. It's interesting to go back and listen to some of the older recordings to see what has changed and what has not changed. AO-27 is the second most popular with about 920 recordings. They are all edited to remove the part of the pass that is either silent or contains telemetry. HO-68 is another bird which we all miss. There are 86 pass recordings to remember it by. Likewise there are 69 recordings of SO-67, a bird you could hear easily with a rubber duck antenna. There are linear bird recordings as well but I don't post many since you have to tune around to pick up qso's and then stay with them for a bit. But they are there and some show how much like HF a linear bird can sound like when someone like UT1FG/MM shows up from a wet grid. Now that VO-52 is back on I'll try to post some recordings of that one as well. I'm not sure how much longer I'll continue to post these recordings. Many that could b ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

John, I for one appreciate very much your efforts and documentation of passes. This is especially true when my tape log stops or picks up more wind noise than I am giving! Or for when I leave the tape machine at the office and I am a parking lot away. Many tnx fer a fine service! And for this effort to preserve a piece of ham sat history. 73 George WA5KBH -Original Message- From: "John Papay" Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2012 17:30 To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Satellite Recordings 2 Year Anniversary Today marks the two year anniversary of my satellite recordings website.

It's a great resource that many could benefit from. Perhaps a short article for the journal might be worthwhile? 73, Drew KO4MA Sent from my iPhone On Mar 18, 2012, at 6:30 PM, John Papay wrote: > Today marks the two year anniversary of my satellite > recordings website.

[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite Recordings 2 Year Anniversary
Thank you so much for your recordings. I for one have benefited from them, and have told many a new ham to go to your website and learn how to work an fm sat and LISTEN to different passes to understand how they are worked. I've played your recordings for other hams and at local club meetings and have the usual response of "I didn't know we could so that" from hams. Listening to the fm sat QSO's with my call sign in there and explaining to them I use a ONE WATT ht always leaves their mouths open. I've also used your recording when there was so much wind I couldn't hear anything on my recording. If AMSAT hasn't already given you an award, a plaque, an engraved gold tag on the next spacecraft, they should. Please keep up the good work.

[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite Recordings 2 Year Anniversary
John, I think that your satellite recordings website has been a great tool for the Satellite Community, at least for me has been a great help to improve my homebrew Sat setup, my operating abilities on Sat and save unforgettable times in my ham radio life such as: my first contact on Sat and my first portable operation from EL91/FL01. Thanks very much for this special gift! 73!

[amsat-bb] CM2ESP back on FM satellites.
Hello all, Finally I finish my portable setup and I hope being back in the FM satellites. Now featuring the ugliest ever built arrow antenna hi hi hi hi, it is not pretty but it works, I hope to be active on weekends at my roof or front yard, and may be in some other place, who knows... I give up of using my fixed antenna due to poor gain and high coax losses. I am so happy of being back. Many thanks to K8YSE and AC0RA for today's reports on AO-27. John, your work with the recordings website is very helpfull, and I use it always. 73, Raydel CM2ESP EL83sc Este mensaje ha sido enviado mediante el servicio de correo electronico que ofrece la Federacion de Radioaficionados de Cuba a sus miembros para respaldar el cumplimiento de los objetivos de la organizacion y su politica informativa.
