1.2 GHz is never a downlink band, only uplink. Right now I think CO-56 is the only satellite with a user-accessible 1.2 GHz uplink. 73, Drew KO4MA -Original Message- >From: Vincenzo Mone >Sent: Jul 14, 2013 10:24 AM >To: amsat-bb@amsat.org >Subject: [amsat-bb] Satellite at 1.2 GHZ > >

Hi Damon, Could you please put that start time in a U.S. timezone or better yet, UTC? I'm too lazy to look up the timezone for Memphis! :-) 73 Jerry N0JY On 7/14/2013 1:00 PM, damon runion wrote: I will start a net on D Star on 1 August(Thursday evenings) for Amsat users. It will be at 8:pm

[amsat-bb] antenna direction calibration

2013-07-14 Thread Bob- W7LRD
You'd think I would have this figured out by now. I never paid very close attention to exact antenna direction until now. I mean the satellite was always within the beam pattern. I tried the SuM part of Satpc32. I am thinking of trying some EME, and I looked up the boom of the yagi' and I was ab

Bob What I do ( and I'm not sure I'm right,but seems to work ) is to use the North star to calibrate. I live at 41.2* latitude, so if I crank my antennas to 41* elevation and point north 0* azimuth I should be pretty close. I also live at 1* magnetic declination, not much so I don't worry much ab

Hi Bob, I use the Sun, late in the afternoon. The satellite program tells me where the Sun should be, and I aim the rotor to match. Then up on the roof I go, to align the rotor mount so the shadow runs down the beam. Worked quite well for aiming at AO-40. Of course in the Pacific Cloudy West,
