Hi,
A bit more technical detail on the FC Data Warehouse for those that are
interested.

I have over 100 emails saved on A0 73 and can not find the one I need, so
what is new.
Is it apx plus 10 khz or minus 10 Khz offset on the RIT to zero in on AO 73?
The pass last night around 0940 and could not find the combonation! heard
AC0RA (?) very strong.
Thanks guys for all your help.
It sounds to me like something is binding. These rotors run at 1 RPM; you
could try running it for 30 seconds and verify that it moves 180 degrees. Then
the same in reverse.
If the motion is correct, then the pot is probably bad. If not, then check for
anything that might keep the whole kit
I wasn't going to touch this as I've made my opinion about P3-E known
before but I can't be silent about some other things. I don't believe
it will ever fly because of the economic realities of today's world but

The last satellite AMSAT-NA built and flew was an SDR based linear transponder.
Fox-1 and RadFXsat are FM, and the comms capability got us the launches for
free. Fox-2 will be a SDR based transponder. At current count AMSAT orgs have
four operable transponder satellites, another in orbit awaitin
Hey Michael,
Insulting the many fellow radio amateurs who enjoy making contacts
outdoors with the stroke of one email is quite an accomplishment.
Momma must be proud.
It is obvious from your lack of knowledge on presently active and
future, planned satellites that you really are just hear to stir
Hi Michael,
I have to defend AMSAT-NA a bit here, the perception that the
organization is "bent and determined to keep building and flying FM
repeaters" is not quite accurate.
Fox-1 which is an "FM repeater" was underway over 3 years ago when AO-51
was failing. The purpose was to put up a q

You're certainly entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. I wasn't

I'd like to propose some alternatives to the whiney "I want a HEO" BB emails:
- Write up your vision for how a HEO linear transponder might be
constructed and launched. AMSAT-NA is always looking for articles.
- Share with us your plan for obtaining the funds necessary to launch
a HEO linear tra
HI Jerry,
First of all, thank you for being civil. Nice change from the last
two responses to my post. Second of all, I apparently stand corrected
on one thing. It was my impression that Fox-2 was also intended to be
another FM sat. If I am wrong in that then I apologize for the previous

We're listening... what do you suggest? Sophisticated home stations like

Probably no one is going to believe me but I actually had an inkling for
an idea similar to Mark's rotator system awhile back. On one of my few
attempts at portable sat ops, back in the days of AO-51 I remember
thinking, "this is too much work" and thinking it would not be that hard

Here is my few cents worth:
My perspective is as someone who has always been interested in space,
satellites, etc, as well as the down-and-dirty parts of the techno-marvels.
I'm also someone who played with a Part15 broadcast band transmitter as a
kid, always assumed I would be a ham someday, but

Thanks for labeling me and tons of other Hams as IDIOTS for participating

UGHH!!! It was poor choice of words while trying to express my
overwhelming frustration with the seeming "status quo of satellite
operation" and it's already been apologized for TWICE!! I suppose none
of you have ever chosen words less than wisely when you were frustrated
about something.
Bored? Let's put up a Broadband Hamnet (HSMM-MESH) node! That would
be pretty darned cool.
