Has anyone got a reliable source to overhaul the Yaesu B5400 rotors? Or
should I just replace with new? Or with the sats dying, should I even care
to fix them?
Thanks for any insite.

Do a Google search for Yaesu Rotor Rebuild. There's several websites
detailing how to do it, complete with pictures.
It's not hard to do, and sure beats paying over $700 for a new one!

Miraculously I passed my Extra Class exam and my call sign is changed from
K0BAM to AA0CW. Still in DM68 Ouray County Colorado. So if yall hear this
new call on the sats er sat don't go crazy, it's just me.

I didn't say I was guessing, I said it wouldn't surprise me.
And I've been running Linux since I got on the Internet, so the hack
didn't occur on my end.

I'm testing my Field Day setup all day, and AO-7 is definitely on the
list. If it's in the wrong mode for me, then I guess I'll get a chance
to see how well my BuddiPole works as a satellite antenna on 10 Meters!
I'll let you know what I hear today.

I just heard it a few minutes ago in Mode B. Two stations on SSB,
several CW, and a lot of FM'ing.
I could barely hear my downlink on a 60* pass, so not sure what's going
on. I was able to get into FO-29 earlier today FB, so I know my station
is working.

back on the birds, but I do have several thousand satellite
QSOs that I could log from years back if there were really any reason to
do so.

There are several different orbital prediction models in use, and I
would guess that they are not using the same one.
SatPC32 gives you a choice in the setup options, but it's been so long
since I've used NOVA, I don't remember if or where the oprion is located.

more comfortable using the station because I knew it all
worked, and the stress level was much lower.
Good luck, get going, and listen for K6AA on Field Day, and KQ6EA the
weeks before while I'm practicing!

You pays your money and you takes your chances.
I'd rather pay more, and have solid equipment.

I've had it running on XP and Win 7 64-bit for WEEKS at a time and
_never_ had a crash.

And IIRC, the downconversion is handled by the LNB (Low Noise Block
Downconverter) mounted at the feedpoint of the dish.

Don't think so.
Most DVB-S receivers require input of 900 to 1600+ MHz or something like
that.

Thanks, Bob.
Is there a commercial yagi available for 435 MHz which is R-L switchable?

I'll be working /p from DM58 Delta County Colorado during this weeks
evening SO-50 passes if anyone needs that grid or county. It'll be the last
time I'll be in that grid.
