Provided it also works on SSB/CW on VHF/UHF might make someone a good sat rig.

Good day all,
Let me attempt to add a few cogent thoughts to the ongoing 'future of AMSAT'
discussion...
I don't know if I am the typical ham or not, but I've been licensed for 35+
years... started in my teens. Have built some of my own gear, joined clubs,
worked HF, chased DX, dabbled in
But as far as I'm concerned, it IS NOT the ultimate objective of a
satellite operator. It is the BARE MINIMUM of satellite operation, and
there is no way I'm going to be satisfied with that for more than one or
two passes.
Fair opinion to have, you are entitled to it. However, stating it the
Hi all,
I was checking an online sat tracker to see about upcoming passes and when I
went to the bookmark that I saved, it showed the correct sat number (#39569)
and displayed the correct track, but it called it Skycube and said it was
presently decayed and launched in 1998! I checked a second
Unfortunately, a while back, Yahoo changed how multiple messages about the
same subject (even to different reflectors - those are bundled into a
single message) are handled and, when a reply to any of those messages is
sent, all of the attached messages cannot be deleted! At least I have
Congrats all around! I was one of those 7... Right behind you, Paul, with VUCC
#249, also issued in March. I waited to submit 150 grids to match up with the
150 I previously had (under my old callsign) which was VUCC #86. Those were all

the LituanicaSAT-1 FM transponder will be active from 0930Z-1400Z tomorrow.
That window includes three passes over North America at around 0940Z,

I think you may have your times off Paul... I show passes over North America
Can anyone confirm if these are the proper TLEs for LituanicaSAT-1? From

different object number.

Some older full duplex HTs that you can pick up at a fest or on eBay
include Yaesu FT-470 and FT-530 and Icom W2A and W32A.

On the IC-W32A's... I read several places that the early ones with 5 digit
serial numbers are okay, but that is not necessarily true from my experience.
Another point to consider is you can buy two of the cheap Chinese HTs for

what the diplexer
in the Arrow costs. That's the cheapest way to get to full

Sure, now you tell me that after I buy the Arrow with the diplexer! =^D But
seriously, I bought a used Arrow

Sorry, but it doesn't get to 10 there are only four operational.

Sorry but BAND is the transmit band and RX_BAND is receive band.
Tony, I believe you are a bit mistaken... I could be wrong, but it's my
understanding that Clint WAS an AMSAT Area Coordinator and he was recently
asked to step down from the position. Or informed he was stepping down
involuntarily... whatever way you want to say it.
As for comments about
Many times I have been engaged in a QSO only to have someone CQ'ing on
CW drift across my existing QSO. Anyone who operates satellites has
probably had this happen to them many times. Sometimes myself or
others in QSO may try to tell the CW operator Hello - QSO in
progress but it is
Computer-control stations and manual-control stations are adjusting for
Doppler differently. I have done - and will continue to do - both. In my
opinion, neither is incorrect; they simply differ from each other.

Yep I hear SO-50 better with an IO antenna mounted on my HT sitting

To whom it may concern... if one goes to AMSAT's webpage and looks under

John, it's not just the west coast... There is one in the middle of the US that
does about the same thing. On the linear birds, he calls over top of others who
are already trying tomake a call. And he also tends to act like a 'grid traffic
controller' on SO-50 with unnecessary chatter.
I tried that. And I can assure you both I was very polite. My first attempt was
replied to with three words, all in caps and exclamation points. I took that as
being yelled at. Then later when the person was 'speaking' to me again, I tried
a second time with more better detail to very politely
