Hi Zack,
I use an Alliance TV-type rotor on its side for elevation, and a regular light
duty ham-type rotor for azimuth, both tied into a home-brewed controller for
fully automatic operation.
See: http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/ at the top of the page.
Have fun,

How does the Elk Dualband yagi work as a satellite antenna in a base setup when
you are not elevating it? Is it better to mount it for vertical or horizontal
polarization to get maximum coverage of satellite passes? Still trying to
figure out the best FM sat setup here after some station redesi
I hear a lot of noise from GO32 on it's pass on the beacon downlink of 435.325
. It is supposed to be 9600bps , but I can't copy any packet . Is the noise the

Hi All,
RAX is recovering from a low battery charge condition. We observed an anomaly
last week that has severely reduced RAX's power generation capability on her
remaining three panels (the first being shorted out). The only two safe
operating modes for RAX in this condition are infrequent bea

Hi Loren,
I would hazard a guess and say in one word -- NO! :-)
The split between the satellites may be similar to what others are doing,
but I seriously doubt if ANYONE is working the satellites to the level that
you are.
If you stopped at 1000 qso's, how many did you actually work?

If everything works out today I'm going to try to work the afternoon
passes of AO-27 from EM14/EM15. (1853Z, 2031Z)
Should you need a card, an email will work fine.

Downlink: 435.300 MHz CW over FM (is this A2 over FM ?)

Congratulations Loren!
I would say your percentages below are very common of someone that has been
on the birds for a year. I have never taken the time to look at mine, but I
would guestimate they are about the same.

I get a warning message from Norton as well, however, it does allow me to
access it. Like the others said, I just usually wait till it comes around
the bb as I believe Alan posts it here before he posts it to camsat.

Bill,
Alan Kung normally posts the same schedule here, and in fact just did so
today. I usually just save the message text for future use. FWIW, IE let
me go there, but that may not be much of an endorsement. ;) Firefox gave
me the same message.

Being snow-bound today, I decided to count up QSOs per bird
for my first 1000 QSOs on the FM satellites. I Stopped at 1000
to make the percentages easy to figure. I wonder if my
percentages are typical of other hams who has been on the FM
birds for about one year.

If you're talking light-duty, for modest-sized homemade antennas, there are
several azimuth-only TV rotors and light-duty ham rotors that would do the
job. Just mount your antennas at a fixed elevation of 15 degrees, and you

Is there any other good light duty rotor other than the Yaesu G-5500 that would
work well for satellite work? I might like to consider getting one for some
homemade antennas that I might use for a rover setup. Other than the rotor and
