Have you thought about upgrading your station to full-duplex capability?
I started out using full duplex, and it's a much nicer
experience. I'd recommend it for every satellite operator.

I recall the "fun" part of full duplex on AO-40 (sobsob) was there was a
significant delay with the returned signal and you started talking a little
weird if you didn't turn down the volume a bit. Mayabe again someday. My
satpc prog ram it totally messed up.

Hi Bob,
I'm sorry that you have problems with the program.
I suppose you are running the latest version 12.8b. Also, I suppose the
program worked when you first started it after installation and the problems
occured after you configured it.
The best will be:
Uninstall the program and re-insta
Hi Clayton, W5PFG
You have reinvented the wheel ! Since 1972 i.e. 40 years ago
beginning with OSCAR-6 all of us we were using full-duplex
capability because in the last century to call a CW or SSB

possible answere from someone it was consid
You omitted all of the other full duplex radios: The D7 and D72 HT's and
D700 and D710 mobiles.

Yes, Bob, I see those old D700 at hamfests regularly. Add to the list of
full-duplex HTs the Yaesu FT-51R. I bought mine on ebay years ago for way less
than it costs to go to a Texans game. I did a quick check and found one for
sale:

If it hasn't been mentioned, the Kenwood TM-V7A, the starting point of all
the D7XX family, also works well on full duplex. I have had a few Mobil
QSOs using a poor, for satellite ops, antenna. The only problem is that the
original display tends to fade and develop lines, which eventually render
And please use full doppler correction. I always have to follow the
other station going higher in frequency and than come in the middle of
someone elses qso.

Hi Cl
The only addition to your list is a receive preamp if you're running full
duplex.
Norm, I completely agree. I hang a ARR 432 pre-amp with it's own small 12v
pack between the
diplexor and the 432 side of the Arrow. I have an RF switched version just
in case I do
something stupid with the FT-53
And the V7A has an excellent receiver in it! QST measured it as more
sensitive on UHF than most dualbanders. I miss the one I had, and wouldn't
mind finding another.

I have made 1000+ contacts via satellites using a TM-D700 and TM-D710. The
receive is excellent. Without a preamp, I can work any of the current FM birds
from AOS to LOS. I'm always on the lookout for deals on used ones locally. I
actually prefer the 700 for portable since I can run a serial
If you go to www.n9xh.org you will find some shots of a young man, new to
the hobby, with his freshly delivered by Santa HT and a home brew antenna
catching the last few SSTV images from ARISSat. I think he's been a ham
for just a couple of months. Great to see.

John,
This is reality... This young man outside in the cold is dedication. I
wish him well.
Maybe our new editor of the Journal can use this as a cover page to show
that ARISSAT-1 was a great attention getter to all hams.
Thanks for noticing this. All the best for the New Year, John.

I'll do that.

Couldn't we have a "ARISSat-1-2-3 etc. sitting on the shelf and everytime they
send up a supply/crew change bring another ARISSat. Then throw it out whenever
available. Seems simple however I am sure the logistics would be complex.

I received a certificate today and a friend of mine was wondering if they where
still giving them out. I forgot where I sent my pics and stuff from ARISSat-1
to. Does anyone have info on that?
Thanks.

Gawd, I don't know what for ... (grin) I mean, ARISSat-1 was a measly 250mW on
its 2M broadcast, and I couldn't ask for a stronger, cleaner signal from it
that I had while receiving it with my HT and an Arrow antenna.
Same with SO-5
Or just maybe, YOU could respect what others choose to do in operating on
the sats. Some people simply do not like using the HT method...(me for
example)
I know of no rule that says its Clint's way or the highway..
Jeez, you are truly a legend in your own mind !!
