It is definitely worth the experience. I have viewed it from the viewing
area at the Cape with only a 30 minute delay, but the most memorable was
actually from Clearwater on the other coast of Florida. I had just checked
into my hotel room for a business trip and turned on the television. As I
Hi Joel,
It is great to hear you on the BB. I hope to work you on the birds when I
get my antennas back in the air. We moved south of the Tennessee River near

Reid is correct.
Unfortunately, WISP has a limited number of entries (50) for satellites in
its database.
In order to add a new satellite:
1. Go to Database->Edit Satellite data.
2. Go through the list and delete the satellites you do not use or at least
one for your entry.
3. Modify a Kep lis
Read the AMSAT rules. The title of the AMSAT rules IS clear when you read
the title as "2011 AMSAT Field Day Competition ".

The common failure of the motor windings is caused by heat which causes the
enamel coated wire to breakdown. When the enamel breaks down an inner winding

I have successfully rewound motor windings on these rotators just to say it
could be done, but it takes some work (not recomme

The problems I've had in the past have always been due to water getting

Drew,
You might check with the SEDS team at the University of Arizona.
It has been a few years since I collected any data from the satellite. At
that time the batteries were not healthily. Thus, the transmitter was not
active all the time. It could go days/weeks before you heard it. I would

I am not sure Tek Sharp continues to make the patch feeds. They certainly
do not make the tri-band feed, but I was able to get a dual band patch from

I have rewound a few of these motor coils and a #24 to #26 gauge enamel wire
should work. A #22 gauge enamel wire would be too large and you would not be
able to wind the same number of turns.
It is the breakdown of the enamel due to wire heating that makes them fail

You are a wise person and understand this aspect very well. You are correct,
