[amsat-bb] QSL Cards to go out

2010-12-21 Thread Jeremy Kiehner
If you've worked me via the birds, and have sent me a QSL via snail mail and have not received one back, I apologize. Past few months have been crazy hectic and my lack of planning didn't obtain new QSL cards lol. I will be sending out QSLs to the following: KB0RZD, N2VYT, N4TRI, WO3T by the

Congrats! Yes that first contact is a rush without a doubt! I just started myself little more than a month ago, and the rush is still there! Biggest rush thus far for me was the ISS crew contact using simplex, to Col Doug Wheelock. Hope to hear you on the birds soon! I'll be working passes as I

[amsat-bb] Log Book Recommendations

2010-11-10 Thread Jeremy Kiehner
Hi all, Playing with some log book software I found online through DXZone and other sources. Nothing so far seems to be geared, or even suited to satellite work, meaning; They all have one frequency field, few have satellite as a propagation, few track grids and states worked, etc. What I'm

I personally use a recorder to record my contacts via the birds. I have two hands, one holding the antenna, the other the speaker mic, I'd need two more to hold pen and paper. I'd think so long as the QSL is two way confirmed there's no harm. Regardless how it's logged. Sent from my iPhone On

[amsat-bb] ISS NA Flyby

2010-10-28 Thread Jeremy Kiehner
Tonight about 2320 28/10/10 UTC I finally made contact with NA1SS, Col Wheelock. A BEAUTIFUL flyby I watched, turned on HT in the truck, heard voice. Few attempts later I made contact. We talked briefly about the views. I can only imagine his view of the eastern US during our night while I

2010-10-15 Thread Jeremy Kiehner
Today 10/13/10 while mobile on my way home from work I saw AO-51 making a high pass. Curiously I loaded up the memories in my Alinco DJ-G5 (mobile rig went kaput) and heard the bird and a QSO. Waiting for a break, I sent my call and location of York, Pennsylvania. An operator came back with my
