Hi Floyd,
Domenico's advice is quite good. I also wrote a section on aligning a
g5500 az rotator from scratch, its at the bottom of this post:

Rickey, WA4NVM is operating portable from EM46, he asked if I would post

Agreed, getting something into an orbit of 1250 to 2500 km is key (and having
an SDX transponder that can survive the higher radiation levels).
Yes some launches such as the recent VEGA are into el
Thanks for the report John. I was also on that pass, and concur with your

Oscar 7 has been sounding rather rough on the edges the last few passes in mode
B.
Signals were more distorted then sounding FM.
All stations here in VK were using low power and there was only one QSO at a
time going through the transponder with our usual round table discussion.
