One thing I run into, the kit and enclosure from NA and UK aren't

Hi Charlie
Thanks, I have refrained from suggesting that you can program the tracker
through a USB rather than a real hardware RS232 port. The reason is that the
programming method I designed sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and at
any rate it's a lot slower when it does work. Despite

After the 2 feet of snow melts, I will be refurbishing the rotator where
needed. I am hoping this and the antenna deployment coincides with the
arrival of my U/V full duplex 60w on both bands, transverter block

Hi Bob,
Really, at the risk of oversimplifying, all the LVB tracker does is ground
pins, so any rotor hardware/interface that works from that principle is set.
I'm sure lots of us are interested in real world performance and ease of use

I heard myself very well on FO-29 this morning even when it was a
good distance out -- but didn't hear anyone else. I'm not using much
power and pretty basic antennas so it seems to me the bird is working
well. If you've left it off your standard list of satellite passes
to check out, try

About a month ago the events that turn AO-27 on and off seemed to be
timed so it would be on as it passed over North America. More
recently, for the passes I check (more than 10 degrees here in NC),
it seems like according to schedule on www.ao27.org, the ON time is
when the bird has pretty
Thanks Alan !
Will again be a lot of fun and experimenting !

Listened to orbit #721 (per NOVA) (23:23-23:40 for my location) and
did not hear any activity nor my 145.825 (67Hz) uplink. I heard the
CW beacon on the previous pass, but not this time, though it was well

Just wondering if it was my station or was the
Hi Ed,
Were you in SSB or FM mode? I was on the earlier pass (20:00z) today, and at
least for that pass the bird was in SSB/CW mode. Had my first contact on
HO-68, a nice chat with Kerry, WC7V, in Montana. It was quite loud, like S5
when most birds barely move the needle. Really easy to
I really like n3fjp logging that everyone here recommended. I have not been
able to get eqso to upload though. It keeps telling me bad mode.
Can anyone who is using this software and eqso tell me what are you entering
for your AO-51 contacts in Band and Mode? I tried 2, 2M and SAT J in
The rescheduled shuttle launch is for early Monday morning.
Is there any way of finding out what direction they are heading during
launch? It would be pretty cool to see it from the eastern seaboard if it
came up that way.
Thanks

Are you talking about EQSL? I'm not familiar with EQso.

I really like n3fjp
For uploads from N3FJP to eQSL:
AO-51; Band = 2 (if its in V/U); Mode = FM; Prop_Mode = SAT
Of course this changes as AO-51's operating mode changes.
L/U for instance would be Band = 23

I believe after launch it heads out eastwards towards Europe which is
why one of the emergency landing sites is in Spain.
From here (EL96 - the other side of Florida) I get some great views at
night as it launches but once it starts heading out I quickly lose it.
I may be wrong of course but
Yes, it heads east, but it has to match up with the ISS, so it has to match
the inclination of the ISS. It all depends on which orbit they're trying to
match up with the ISS as to what eastward direction they head after launch.

I'll likely be portable in EM80 tomorrow night and Tuesday. If someone
needs EM80 on satellite, drop me an email and I'll look out for you.

Thank you for reading this.
I'm still trying to determine if the aerial I have is working correctly or
not.
If -120 dbm for a 12 db SINAD is considered the minimum usable signal,
what is the likely signal level required to indicate an S1 reading (at 435
MHz) on an FT-847 with the internal

We're currently holed up near the New Mexico border where we've got a few
inches of fresh snowfall and looking for up to several more
