I wonder... Has anyone at SES considered just turning off their transmitter, while Galaxy-15 crosses their path, and using it instead? Just a thought, Greg KO6TH > > If SES were to do nothing, Zombie-sat would soon start picking up and > retransmitting signals sent to AMC 11. To users on t

[amsat-bb] W1AW/5 for DM73 Wednesday

For those that tried to help with the Teachers Institute demonstration today, thanks, but I had a battery failure and missed the pass. I will attempt again tomorrow first during the AO27 pass at 1922Z and then again if not successful on the 2209Z pass. I'll be using W1AW/5 from Roswell, NM DM73.

[amsat-bb] Gordon West's Technician Class 2010-2014 Book

Well, we didn't get the entire text I submitted to Gordon printed in the new exam prep manual. Darn those editors! (grin) But AMSAT did get their "Ham Hint" box with a plug and Web address on Page 100. And of the URLs I submitted, the following appear as "Web Site Resources" on Page 104: AMSAT

[amsat-bb] 'Zombie-sat' and the clever orbital dance

The "dead-but-alive" telecommunications satellite, Galaxy-15 , has begun to enter the space of neighbouring craft, and their operators are planning evasive action. "Zombie-sat" has captured the imagination of the internet space f

Thanks for the links, Ron. It's been a while since I've dabbled with 2.4ghz, since AO-40's heyday. Going to get my old toys back out this summer. This info will help stir those brain cells back up. Rich >http://www.k3roj.com/images/AIDC3733downconvtr.txt > >http://www.jrmiller.demon.co.uk/product

Hello Reid: If you don’t mind experimenting, connect one of these 2.4G MMDS grid antennas http://www.amazon.com/2-4GHz-24dBi-Outdoor-Antenna-Cable/dp/B001J1Y7IA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top to the downconverter taken from this antenna http://cgi.ebay.com/Yagi-MMDS-ITFS-AFN-High-Gain-Antenna-Downcon

[amsat-bb] Transystem 3731 vs. 3733

Can someone tell me the major difference between the two downconverters? Ten years ago or so, I used a 3733 un-modded at the fed point of an 8ft dish to copy ao-40 tlm. Today I read a lot of references to the 3731, but not much about the 3733. Just wondering if one is preferable to the other. Rich
