[amsat-bb] NH6VB on HO-68

2010-04-20 Thread John Neeley
This last pass of HO-68 over the Pacific produced another Hawaiian station, Peter, NH6VB. Leo, W7JPI and I were in QSO and at the last 5 minutes of the pass, Peter broke in from Honolulu which was a surprise. He is a local there from what we gathered. He's in BL01 grid square. John W6ZKH

I have for sale a Yaesu VX-3R dual band HT. While it is not full duplex, it works well as the RX side of a mode J handheld station. I've had it less than six months if even that long. It has never even been outside the house and is in like new condition. Of course box, manual, charger and stock

Hi Luc and all I am using a Transystem 3731AA downconverter.  Also an old Kenwood TS-700A for the tunable IF.  I have compared Keps 13LNC-PH downconverter against the 3731.  The 3731 is virtually immune to desense to 2M tx as well as wifi etc.  However the Keps (pricey) is affected by the

In my sub-urban QTH, I can hear nothing EXCEPT wifi noise starting right at 2401.025MHz in all directions. I'm planning to optimise my BBQ grill/3733 antenna in order to improve off-axis rejection, and hopefully the noise - without having too sharp of pattern for manual tracking of AO-51. I'm

[amsat-bb] VO52 OK??

2010-04-20 Thread John Geiger
Is VO52 doing ok? Got on a pass a few minutes ago (0330Z) which was a long lasting one here (80 degrees max elevation) and called CQ repeatedly. Didn't hear a single other station on. 73s JOhn AA5JG ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions
