[amsat-bb] Re: OZ/KO4MA
Hi Drew, Although I did not manage to hear or work you (yet?), I did have confirmation from one of the stations you worked through AO-73. That was PB0AHX in Delft, a good friend of mine. Good to see the transponder being used! That's what it is for.

[amsat-bb] Happy New Year
I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year from myself, W4BUE, and our K4AMG organization, now a Public Charity 501c3. It has been a great year for us and after February we will be on the air with our new Circular antennas and a hand held station for FM. Tonight, Straight Key Night, K4AMG will be operating CW on HF and a few OSCAR passes. 73 God Bless Rich W4BUE Pres K4AMG ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Re: Operating linear transponders - Newbie.
Hi Peter, Dave is correct; tune the higher frequency. See this link for a more detailed explanation: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/features/one_true_rule.html 73 and best DX, Tony AA2TX --- On 12/31/2013 1:25 AM, David Johnson wrote: Hi Peter. If you don't have computer control, always tune the higher frequency. Ie the one with the most doppler. For ao73 keep the rx fixed and adjust the uplink as the doppler changes. 73 Dave g4dpz On 30 Dec 2013 23:39, "Peter Wilson" wrote: Hi all, I have just tried working through AO73, with limited success. I need some very basic help with satellite operation. I have an IC-9100, I set the uplink and downlink to mid-range (435.140Mhz and 145.960Mhz), then call CQ until I hear my own signal which has worked every time, then I get problems. When someone calls me back I panic, what do I do when the doppler kicks in, do I move both TX and Rx, or do I just move my Rx to follow the other guy. I haven't managed to get SatPC32 controlling my rig yet, also, I want to learn the hard way - manually. Can someone point me to an article that explains in detail how to operate. I know this is a very basic question, but we all have to start somewhere. I have managed tow contacts so far. First was AO73 and tonight with FO29. Not sure how I did it, but thanks to ON5NY and EM5SR. Happy New Year Peter G8KEK ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
