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.

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.

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!

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 benefit from them don't know they are there. 73, John K8YSE ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

I would like to echo the same. I do appreciate the dedication and the time it takes you to organize and label all the recordings.

Congratulations, John ! No doubt, it is going to be a great treasure in the history of Amateur Radio Satellites.

Thanks for posting all those recordings. They have been a most useful resource, which has helped me in my operating. I record the passes I work for my log, but it is useful to hear recordings from another location for passes I work. > I'm not sure how much longer I'll continue to post these recordings. > Many that could benefit from them don't know they are there. I know it is a lot of work to keep posting those recordings. I hope you're able to continue with it. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite Recordings 2 Year Anniversary
Many thanks to John for the encouragement he has been to so many of us to whom he has been the first or at least one of the first contacts. John always uses his big guns to help us little pistols get in the game and that is the way it should be done. Before I got my recorder, John's recordings were invaluable to me in helping me to understand why or why not a particular pass worked for me. They were a great learning tool. If John decides to hang up the pass recordings archive job, I would hope that somebody else might pick up the ball and run. This is a hobby you know and doing a task on a daily basis can get old after a while. I would not blame him if he wanted to hang it up. Thanks John for all you have done throughout the years to the Ham Satellite community. Hope you get to collect a few hundred more grids someday soon.

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.
