Patrick,
Are you working the sats with a single T7H? If so, how are you getting it
to uplink and downlink on different bands?
I really love my T7H for repeater and simplex work. For sats, I currently
only use it for RX and use a 2M mobile for TX. I'd love to consolidate to a
more portable setu
If you are operating away from home and want to send out QSL cards, is it
acceptable to use your "home" card and note corrections to the location?
Can I just put "portable FM17" in the notes field? Should I strike
through my home grid?

How hard is it to reproduce the Elk in a homebrew? It's a log perioidic and
all of the "build your own" articles I've found on the web are for yagis.
Are the log periodic's dimensions more critical?
What about building a pair of yagis (

I used the AMSAT web site to check your numbers (
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/predict/). Enter the coordinates you
gave and choose "next 30 passes" or so to look ahead into the future.
The first passes of the day seem to be within +- 1 minute of your
predictions for 50, 51, 27, and

After working Simonyi in February, I sent my QSL card off to ARRL HQ and got
an NA1SS card back within several weeks.

I believe the decision is made by the ISS crew. This website tracks the
current status and may give clues to upcoming events:

I built a handle for the Elk out of PVC pipe. It's long enough (about 4
feet) so that I can rest one end of it on my hip to carry most of the

tired with the rest of the weight. I cal

Hi Kev,
The active FM birds are AO-51, SO-50, AO-27, and ISS. I think SO-67 and
HO-68 are sometimes available. I'm sure someone will correct me if I have
omitted any.
You can get their frequencies by clicking on each one on this page:

On a related note, I saw a FAQ that indicated that LOTW does not accept ISS
contacts. Is that still the case? Seems kinda strange.

To clarify, I was referring to contacts relayed via ISS either through the
digipeater or the voice repeater.

Do you think that if we asked real, real, nicely they'd go boost AO-51 for
us while they're up there? :-)
Just kidding - I know the reasons why this could never realistically be
done. But it does give me a great deal of appreciation for how reliable a
satellite can be when someone else is doing
Greg, you're overlooking something - the time dimension.
Yes, packet is a one-at-a-time affair, but those packets move quickly -
1200bps vs 31bps for PSK31. So, each station only has the bird tied up for
a short period of time. You could think of it as a form of time division
multiplexing.

A packet satellite can also be operated simplex (TX and RX on the same
frequency). That means a single antenna and no diplexer for both the bird
and ground station equipment.
