[amsat-bb] Getting back into FM LEO sats

Well, Im back. I got frustrated sometime back with the lack of progress and bleak looking future for HEO's as well as sniping on this list about HEO's vs. LEO's so I left the list and left AMSAT. Leaving AMSAT was more of an economics issue, I couldn't afford dues. Anyway, times are hard around

Hi all, Hello from BWI. First day of talks was great! We enjoyed a nice AMSAT birthday cake, too :) Looks like the talks are being recorded. 73 for now. Mark N8MH Mark L. Hammond ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author

[amsat-bb] System F6

I found this article in the last issue of Air Force Magazine to be interesting: Game Changers "System F6 is designed to help break the paradigm of monolithic satellite design-that is, planning to put all of a satellite's components on the same spacecraft bus, connected via wires. In its place,

[amsat-bb] DN00/01 October 17

When I was an Air Force pilot, and the XYL would go on a trip, I'd hit as many bars and carouse as much as the law would allow (remember those days Leo?). What do I do now?..Grid-pedition! I'll be taking a trip to the middle-of-nowhere Nevada on October 17th to the boundary of grids DN00 and DN01

[amsat-bb] Worldwide Linking

An inquiry during my EchoLink presentation last night ... "Clint, we know the orbit of a specific satellite, we know its projected footprint, and we know its expected time over that footprint. Now if we had “X” amount of ham stations, RF equipped to talk with this satellite, and these hams

[amsat-bb] Fw: [W1GHZ]Interest in a group buy of W1GHZ transverter boards and parts?

This is somewhat satellite related, and I know there are members who like to home brew and may be interested in building something for L band.   Read Microwavelenths in the October QST page 97. This will give you some background on what this project is about.   Mike (K9QHO) AMSAT 33589 ---

[amsat-bb] Cubesat RFI

The US Air Force Academy has released a request for information (RFI) on cubesat systems, subsystems and components. The AFA intends to release up to 4 cubesat size sensors from its Falconsat-6 spacecraft now in the design phase. I've put this RFI "Falconsat 6 Cubesat RFI.pdf" on my server at w

[amsat-bb] Re: Attn: FT-897D Owners & Brainiacs

Hello Randy, with the FT-857 you can't hear your own signal. But you can assume that your partner will tune his RX for best audio of your signal. So, leave your TX frequency unchanged and only fine tune your RX frequency with the "Downl.Corr." controls in menu "CAT". Clarifier issue: I made the
