[amsat-bb] Amsat.org alias not working.

2012-08-01 Thread Tom Gentry
Since I have referenced k5...@amsat.org as how to reach me, I discovered 
that the alias is not working although it shows the correct destination 
email in the system and such.  k5...@arrl.net does work so please use 
that one for now.


Anyone know if there is an issue with the system?

[amsat-bb] AO7-b

2012-08-01 Thread K4FEG
For those wondering about AO7-b, it is alive and well on the 2100UTC 
pass over the US, good signal from Paulo, PV8DX, yes it is still FM'ing 
some, but it is very readable when it is not being hammered.

Treat her like the Grand Lady she is!

We need her to hang around!

Nikolai, again has asked me to post up that he will be mobile on 
Thursday and the Grid Hunters should check hi QRZ.com page for updates.


Remember, he is on a family vacation and is trying to work new grids 
while balancing his time with his family.


Thanks Nikolai for the grids you have worked from!

[amsat-bb] Yaesu 5500 rotor question

2012-08-01 Thread Floyd Rodgers
I had a 5500 azmith rotator lockup over winter. I finally had time to 
take it down and find the problem. Now a different problem. I forgot to 
mark the housing position before separating the upper/lower azmith 
assemblies. I think I know where it was pointed, but how can I tell 
where it should be aligned? Is this really a non issue?

[amsat-bb] FT-726R tuning problems.

2012-08-01 Thread Tom Gentry

Hi,

My Operators manual for the FT-726R instructs me to tune the receiver 
while transmitting to the satellite in order to listen for my down 
link.  However on my 726, the RX tuning is locked while in transmit, 
duplex or otherwise.  Is there a mod necessary or is this a software 
change made after mine was built?  Looking for clues from 726 users. Thanks.
