Gordon,
Where is the ISS at the time you are hearing this signal? It's been running
packet quite often on that frequency. Just a thought.

Well south of the horizon. NO-44 was at it again today (gpredict

Picked up a new one this AM, worked Erling on AO-7, at 6960Km not a record,
but a fun challenge. Thanks go to John-K8YSE for keeping the bb updated. This
stuff never gets old.

There is a webpage for PCSAT on findu.com. The callsigns from the
satellite
appear as W3ADO-1 and PCSAT-11.

Hi drew,
I notice that when AO-51 comes over ZL/VK after coming out of eclipse (about
5 minutes since eclipse) that after some use the transponder drops out and
will not retrigger for 10 to 15 seconds. This behavior continues right
through to LOS. I presume this is
Hi Guys,
I have been playing around with my Garman NUVI GPS and comparing the
readings to Google Maps. This is something you call try at home. My

Nobody guarentees your GPS to be accurate to within 30 feet and neither does
Google maps.
My GPS usually claims around 10-12 feet accuracy provided it can see around 10
satellites.
Leave your GPS on laying in your yard for a couple of hours plotting it's
course and see how far it wanders.

Hi Lee,
Thanks for your observation. I remember in those days when the accuracy
wasn't that great, and the GPS were rather rare. Showing his newly
acquired GPS and showing off the exact positon , well nearly.
OK I will tell you now where we are
We are on that hill pointing a mile away
Well

Has AMSAT, or any frequent satellite demonstrator, developed an information

space programs? I sometimes attract attention while operating in public and

This week, K2BSA will be operating on the satellites from the 2010 National
Scout Jamboree. We expect to make most of the FM satellite passes that cover
FM18 (Fort AP Hill, VA) in the evenings, and we will experiment with the
linear birds too. Finally, we have an ARISS contact planned too.

That's around 45 feet, I believe the owner of the GPS network only claims half
that accuracy most of the time.

Some of you know about my qrptracker project, which is aiming at a
compact, microcontroller-based doppler tuning device for use in the
field. My previous videos showed an FT-817 controlled by this device
and using a small speaker and CW to announce the bird. I've just
posted a video to YouTube at
Cool! Trakbox lives again!!!
