Hi!
I just finished uploading my satellite QSOs into LOTW. Except for
any SO-67 QSOs, they are now all in LOTW. The server is still
processing a few of my uploads with over 600 QSOs remaining, but
it now has 9277 of mine. Of those, 1230 are QSLs, a confirmation
rate of 13.2%. My "VUCC accou
Agreed, but thats not to say that someone outside UK couldn't set up a GS,
using the info in the AO.
I am sure that the UKSA would welcome that, and also wish to know if any
organisation would be willing to do that.

Greetings from the Indian Ocean!
My merchant marine ship is enroute from Diego Garcia (grid MI62) to
Charleston, SC (FM03) and is taking the Pacific route this time. I've
got the FT897D and FT817ND with the Arrow-2 with me, and I'll be QRV
from quite a few wet grids along the way. Unfortunately
Hi Jeff and group,
When I submitted my original VUCC app I had to indicate the gird in pencil
on a couple of my cards, and my checker had no problem with it.

I have the D7A (full duplex), but I don’t like the receiver sensitivity. I

Hi!
It looks like LOTW took about 5 minutes or so after I shut down
last night to get the rest of my uploads processed. The numbers
now stand at 9911 QSO records, with 1332 QSLs (13.4% confirmation
rate). I also had to adjust the ruleset for my VUCC "account" based
on activity in and around Ph
Hi Zach,
I found my FT-530 on QTH.com and it had a charger and a battery with it.
There's one on eBay right now that looks to be ok. I would just watch eBay,
QRZ, QTH, and eham for some to pop up. The FT-530 has a good receiver and
hears great when you are transmitting on 2m.

RAX, OREOS, NANOSail-D,
I feel dumb asking this,
1) Because we see these questions everyday here and I ignore them all
2) I assume they just have not looked on celestrack
But now I went to get TLE's for the recent launches and I'm getting nothing.
AMSAT web pages have nothing on them. CELESTRAK

Look at what happened from 1998 until 2008. In just ten years it has grown
and grown. Watch the pieces come together as they are sent up from Earth.

I agree 100%. I am still pretty new at this, I also have trouble
finding up to date sites. So a friend of mine let me have like half of this
site and I get to put whatever I want on it, and he does practically all the
work! all I have to do is keep it updated. Easy right?
Hello Kevin,
Glad you are finding information and sharing it.
AMSAT does offer a publication specifically to assist the newcomer "Getting
Started With Amateur Satellites", available at the AMSAT store. It has
yearly updates and many years of input that cover most everything that those

Is anyone else in Northern California having interference on the SATS
from PAVE/PAWS, particularly on the downlink for SO-50?
I notice some S3+ modulated noise blocking all weak signals. If I'm
lucky, I hear the Sats at S3, so the noise is really squashing at
least that Sat and others on passes to
Gould,
Your book got me interested and gave me plenty of information I needed to on
the birds. It's well written and organized. And as you mention the price is
right and goes to support AMSAT.
I also recommend the Sattelite Handbook from the ARRL. A great follow up to
your intro.
I'll save
Hi Jake,
Oh, so THAT explains it! I heard you on SO-50 last night, called you
back a few times but it didn't seem like you ever heard me. No one
else was on the bird at the time -- my duplex downlink was full
quieting at the time so I knew I was making it in as well. I was
intrigued by your C
Hi Patrick,
You are the go-to guy for any Kenwood HT questions - have you owned/used all
of them??? ;-)
The toggling between VFOs was not as big of an issue for me (like you say,
small price for a full duplex HT), but the receiver seemed weak. I know I

Hi Ron,
According to his QRZ page under the "detail" tab, he responds to direct
only - no eQSL or LoTW. I don't know how current that info is, so things
may have changed. I am planning on sending a request along with an SAE and
IRC to his Germany address, and we will see what happens.

Here is an article I saw about the US Army's recent Nanosat experiment.

Hello group, I need help interpreting the following VUCC rule.
For VUCC awards on 50 through 1296 MHz and Satellite, all contacts must be made
from locations no more than 200 km
apart.
I'm I correct to interpret it to mean that all one's operating locations, QTH
and portable, must be within 200
Thanks to kk5do and k6yk my question concerning the VUCC 200 km rule has been
answered.

Not exactly Until the past 3 months, I have not owned any
Kenwood gear since the mid-90s. The G71 was my ex-wife's
HT, and I used it for some satellite work a few years back. A
nice radio.
