[amsat-bb] EL60 and EL61
Hello my friends >From july 13th to 17th I will be on vacations from EL61 and EL60. If the recreations activities with the family (my wife XE1BMG and my 7 and 9 years old childrens) give me a break, I will glad to activate those grids with my QRP station (FT-60R and Arrow II) If some of you are interested, please sent me an email to make a list. Remember that sometimes AO-27 is a zoo, so I will answer only with your callsing and my grid locator. I will try to do my best. My direct email: oma...@gmail.com Omar XE1AO DK89df P.D. I will post some scheldures by tweeter: XE1AO, so please help me to redistribute the information. M.C.

July 8, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-190.01 New AO7 Distance Record Set Twice This Week On July 2 at 0955Z Bill Dzurilla, NZ5N operating from Slovakia as OM3BD (grid JN88) reported a successful contact via AO-7 Mode B with Wyatt Dirks, AC0RA (grid EN31). The GPS-measured distance be- tween grids JN88 and EN31 is 7849 km. Bill wrote, "Wyatt did all the hard work by waking up at 0300 his time, driving to a hill an hour away from his home, setting up his station, and working me be- fore sunrise. It appears that an even longer distance is attainable, and Wyatt is looking for a suitable place from which we can try be- fore I leave Slovakia in mid-July." Prior distance records set via AO-7 included: + PY5LF and ZS6BB 7630 km + PS8RF and ZS2BK 7694 km + K3SZH and PY2OV 7738 km + ZS6BB and EA6SA 7766 km + PY5LF and K3SZH 7843 km + OM3BD and AC0RA 7849 km (July 2 record with AC0RA in grid EN31) + OM3BD and AC0RA 7903 km (July 4 record with AC0RA in grid EN41) On July 4, Wyatt, AC0RA woke up early and this time drove 150 miles to EN41 and set up his portable station. A contact, lasting 30 sec- onds, with OM3BD extended the distance record to 7903.55 km. The theoretical maximum range of AO-7 is estimated at 7907 km.

[ANS thanks and congratulates Bill Dzurilla, OM3BD/NZ5N and Wyatt Dirks, AC0RA for the above information] - Italian HF Special Event Commemorates Apollo Space Program ARI, the Associazione Radioamatori Italiani, and their club station IQ1TW announced a special operating award "Apollo Space Program - >From the Earth to the Moon" for contacts between July 1 - July 31, 2012. This is to commemorate and keep alive the memory of the space program which has revolutionized the life of mankind. To qualify for the award you need to have confirmed contacts with the ARI Headquarters Station IQ1TW and any three stations from this list: IZ1UMD, IZ1RFU, IZ1XBB, IZ1WVX, IZ1LBH, IK1WGZ, IZ1RGY, IZ2SMV, I1MXI. On July 20, the anniversary of the first moon landing, a confirmed contact with IQ1TW (without the necessity of the other 3 contacts) will qualify you for the award. The special event stations will operate with 200 watts using dipole and vertical antennas. Full details, including a list of the planned HF operating frequen- cies and modes, log and confirmation information, rules, and appli- cation instructions are posted on the ARI web pages: http://aritortona.xoom.it/ [ANS thanks Associazione Radioamatori Italiani and the DXNL Bulletin #1786 -Jun 27, 2012 - for the above information] - Listen for ARRL TI-2: Space in the Classroom Satellite Contacts The ARRL Teachers Institute - Space in the Classroom is this coming week - July 9-12. The Institute will meet in Dayton, Ohio and is sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association. Additional sup- port from ARRL ETP donors and Yaesu make this program possible. The TI-2 Space curriculum focuses on the nuts and bolts of setting up and operating a satellite ground station. This serves as excel- lent preparation for a scheduled contact with the ISS through the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program. But it also provides instruction for continued use of satellites and other man made space assets to explore naturally generated sig- nals, space and a variety of topics. The course is 4 days: the first half will be setting up and learn- ing to operate the ground station, the second half will be practice making satellite contacts and instruction in using space borne assets in the classroom. Participants will receive all the equipment neces- sary to set up a basic satellite ground station. Matt Severin, N8MS will be instructing the Teachers' Institute. He will have 8 teachers learning how to set up and operate ground sta- ti

Hi Jimmy, The Houston AMSAT net is the feature of Tuesday evenings. They are still active. You can check into the Houston net simply by logging into Echolink and joining the AMSAT node 101377 on your computer ... just like on your Saturday AMSAT net. You'll be able to copy all of the 2M repeater traffic out of Houston via your computer's soundcard. -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM k9...@amsat.org Editor, AMSAT News Service -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Jimmy KC9PXZ Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2012 18:34 To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] AMSAT net I was reading online about the AMSAT net out of Huston as I understand.

Hello again, I was wondering do the Wisconsin AMSAT members do things radio together at all. Like meeting or ops as a group. If so I would like to get in on the fun. If not to bad, it seems (at least to me) that it would be allot of fun. Thanks for your time 73 KC9PXZ Jimmy Norwalk, Wi. En43qt ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: OK/OM/NZ5N AO7 1020Z
Guess the notice was too short, only worked EI5EV, no one else heard anywhere on the downlink. Guess the Americans were sleeping and the Europeans were setting up antennas for VHF Field Day, which will be starting in 2 hours. This weekend I am with the OM3KII contest group at Velka Javorina in JN88uu, right on the border between Czech and Slovakia. Great location at 970m ASL. Noticed that the 2m and 70cm operating positions were close enough to be able to listen on 2m while transmitting on 70cm. Just wish I had thought about working the sats sooner. Maybe next year. 73, Bill OM3BD NZ5N On Jul 7, 2012, at 11:55, Bill wrote: > Sorry for short notice, 2 countries next pass, look for me around 145.960. > 73, Bill ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
