It appears they simply skipped F As the increment is .03454 MHz, F would be 28.17369 MHz. 73 Glenn AA5PK - Original Message - From: John Fickes To: Glenn AA5PK Cc: AMSAT BB ; Star-Com BB ; SAARC List Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2013 12:01 AM Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Slightly OT What does one do thats call sign ends with F ??? 73 John KC0BMF On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 9:07 PM, Glenn AA5PK aa...@suddenlink.net wrote: Say Hi to Juno NASA's Juno spacecraft will fly past Earth on October 9, 2013 to receive a gravity assist from our planet, putting it on course for Jupiter.

This is pretty cool, I'll be in there sending, Does it have to be Hi Hi Hi Hi etc.? or something that can be heard better? I remember during my EME days the easiest thing to hear was the O O O report --- --- --- --- the three dashes stood out far more above the noise floor than anything else did, Joe WB9SBD Sig The Original Rolling Ball Clock Idle Tyme Idle-Tyme.com http://www.idle-tyme.com On 9/3/2013 9:07 PM, Glenn AA5PK wrote: Say Hi to Juno NASA's Juno spacecraft will fly past Earth on October 9, 2013 to receive a gravity assist from our planet, putting it on course for Jupiter.

[amsat-bb] Re: Slightly OT: That's no moon!
That's neat! I love seeing stuff like that. Once I saw the ISS on a bright overhead pass, followed by the space shuttle (probably hundreds of miles behind it) It was a once in a lifetime sight. On another note, once my Sister in Law called me, very excited, and told me to go out and look to the west, the moon was HUGE and RED!! I thought, hmm. I don't think there's an eclipse tonight, but went out to look anyway. To the east, was the moon, normal as can be. I thought for a minute, and busted out laughing! her house backs up to a shopping center, and they had a big RED weather balloon flying above, with the parking lot lights illuminating it, I remember seeing it. I called her and she confirmed... she was so embarrassed, but it's a funny story now! ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
