Hello everyone, I will be in EM06vu from January 21 to the 23 for the January VHF contest. This happens to be close to EM06/EM16/EM07/EM17, so I will be going that corner also. I can't get to the exact corner, so I can only do 2 grids at a time. I am going to try to be on most afternoon

It was the worst I've ever heard which was a shame as there were several new calls and grids that I haven't heard in the past. I think I made it into the Bird once but that was it. AO-27 earlier in the Day was bad as well. It sounded like someone was pushing the buttons on their Mic and

Robert G8ATE Thanks for the reply . I live in the boonies , at least 10 miles from the nearest super market scanner . So I think I can rule that out . I do have a remote weather station , Maybe from that , but I've never seen it before . I thought maybe that or some internal software message ?

Hi! Saturday (8 January) morning at the Thunderbird Hamfest in Glendale, Arizona, was a great time. This is the only indoor hamfest in the Phoenix area, and there was a good turnout. At different times in the late morning, I had some help at the AMSAT table from Israel AD7ND (I still need to

It might have been GO-32 telemetry, based on what you saw. Check out Mike DK3WN's OnlineKISS+ program and see if you can capture some frames via your TNC. That will help you see what is really coming through... 73, Mark N8MH On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 1:14 PM, jerry jkb...@wildblue.net wrote:

Hi Jerry, you heard the GO-32 beacon (every 30 sec a short burst). It's no UI-frame so you can't use MixW. If you use a TNC in KISS mode you will receive a short beacon like that: [47 Bytes KISS Frame (without CRC)] 1 C0 00 0A 0B 15 00 8C 00 3C 7D 01 00 54 65 63 68 53 61 74 2D 21 56 34
