To all
I have a Loral latching relay that has gone belly up in the switching
department and would like to know if anyone has done a mod to switch the
relays just by applying the voltage to them without going through the
printed circuit.

I'll still be in DL41 on the next FO29 pass at 16/1112Z. But we should
cross into DL40 at about 1240Z and be ready to go for AO7 which comes up
locally at 1243Z. We'll be DL40 for just over an hour, so that will the
only pass for the grid.
I'll be on from DL50 on AO7 pass at 16/1436Z and VO52
Hi James,
And welcome to the addiction :)
Glad you had such a great first experience. You represent the type of person
that makes all the early hours and occasional restless nights all worth while.
Best wishes for LOTS more contacts and 73,

Hi Everyone,
I just thought I'd relay a bit of QRM I observed on AO-51 on this
morning's 3/16/2011 1322z pass. The bird was totally quiet (just a
nice carrier) for the first 5 minutes of the pass, but then it sounded
like a repeater was getting into the sat uplink:
3/16 1327z: Connected,
Hello James
Yes, satellite communications is a fantastic part in our hobby. I am a
new satellite operator too, but not new to Amateur Radio. I also did my first
contact as
a Novice at 11 years old. Now, I am 22 years old.
�
I am really enjoying make contacts on the birds. It is fantastic,
Well the IC9100 has hit the market, when is SATPC32 going to be updated to
accommodate this new offering from ICOM?

Thanks for the heads up. It's likely an echolink or irlp node. Does anyone have
a recording? If we can nail the call down I'll follow up with them.

He told me later that not only was it a new grid, but that it was grid

Congrats Alvaro! Muy bueno!

Hi Dave,
KD7QAF is an ex call sign (now AC7VA - Washington) and KD7QAN is a op in
Yuma, AZ. From the looks of his QRZ page he has not been very active, so I
would doubt if he has a repeater.
73!

John, K8YSE, records almost all of the FM LEO passes... it'll probably be up

I will check for any Echolink or IRLP nodes for that call sign or area when I
get home. Hopefully we can get hold of the owner
Andrew,
The System gets it's position from the GPS satellites and reports it to it's
network via the Globestar Constellation. SPOT is a subsidiary of Globestar:

Hi All,
The power budget on AO-51 has really been stretched with both transmitters on,
so we are now in single transmitter mode. That means quite a bit more power on
435.300 (the voice repeater), which is now around 1.3W or so. We'll be in this
mode for a while (until further notice).
... This works I just sent my letter . Recommend everyone join in ...
The ARRL is wisely recommending that we do NOT send letters directly to our
reps (unless you have an inside contact with a legislative aide).
To be most effective, we are sending signed letters/faxes to our ARRL lobbyist,

Could not find a Solar Power group similar to the expertise and experience of

So I formed a new one. solar...@yahoogroups.com

Kevin,
I first worked Al in May 1978 on RS-12. He was my 85th contact and I believe
he was just starting out as well. Neither of us had good V/UHF rigs at the
time, so HF satellite was the way to go. Seems like yesterday...
