Re: [amsat-bb] L-Band (1260) signals on CO-65
It's just the big linearly polarized M2. I primarily use it on terrestrial 1296. 73, Drew Sent from my iPhone On Jul 17, 2014, at 9:24 AM, Eric H.

I've got 20-something elements on L but I've never pointed it skyward. I'm working on replacing my single-polarization 2m and 70cm antennas with dual/circular polarized and might want to upgrade my 1.2GHz side as well. 73, Eric W4OTN ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] AO7 demo @ 2025 UTC today
Hi! Depending on weather, QRM/QRN, and AO-7, I hope to be on the AO-7 pass around 2025 UTC this afternoon from outside the ARRL Centennial Convention in Hartford (grid FN31ps). I will use my two FT-817NDs and Elk log periodic antenna, and should have a nice audience listening to wrap up AMSAT#39;s training seminar today. This is an 81-degree pass for Hartford, which should be good for us to deal with the buildings around the convention site. I have been sending out photos and other comments from today#39;s training seminar via Twitter. You can see them on my @WD9EWK Twitter feed, or visit http://twitter.com/WD9EWK using a web browser if you don#39;t use Twitter. We are hoping for more demonstrations during Friday and Saturday. Due to the buildings here in the center of Hartford, we will look to try for higher passes instead of trying to work shallow passes. I will try to post advance notice of other demonstrations here, as well as my Twitter feed I mentioned above. 73!

John, Do you mind if I ask what you're looking for in terms of price? I have a G-5400B already, but am missing the PC interface. I'd be more comfortable buying a complete set-up that attempting to add PC interface. 73, Les N1LF Les Rayburn, Director High Noon Film 130 1st Avenue West Alabaster, AL 35007-8536 (205) 621-7500 (205) 621-7505 FAX (205) 253-4867 CELL http://www.highnoonfilm.com - This e-mail contains information that may be confidential or privileged and is intended only for the person(s) named above.

I have been using a unit from http://easy-rotor-control.com/ They even wired it for me to be plug and play with my 5400.
