Howie,
I don't know all of the obstacles involved, but your suggestion is the best one
I've heard during the course of the SuitSat-2 discussion this week. The
trade-off, of course, will be a lower orbit/smaller footprint, with passes that
are a couple of minutes shorter than those of the curren

Hey Randy,
I use an FT-857 here, which is - for the most part - the same radio without the
provision of an internal battery pack. It is not full-duplex-capable, so you'll
need a separate receive radio. here, I use an FT-817ND. In terms of computer
control, the programs I've tried (Ham Radio Del

Mr. Mann and all,
I’m not sure I have a dog in this hunt, but I am an AMSAT member and
enthusiastic user of the amateur satellites and the ISS amateur station.
Before responding specifically to your most recent post, I would like to ask

I wasn't going to go here because I have before - and there's no need for a
handheld antenna conflict here on the BB. However, I have to add that as

Congrats Pete! Thanks for activating the lighthouse again this year on the

to go along with last year's certificate.

Here, I do not change the transmit frequency from 145.850, with the 67.0 Hz PL

tuning for SO-50 or the other two FM satellites. My experience is that computer

I mean no disrespect, and I'll apologize now if what follows offends you or
anyone. I agree - to a point - about pointing accuracy. Let's face it - of the
three FM satellites currently available to us, SO-50 is the largest target we
have. It is a 35mm (13.78-inch) cube. We're shoo
Congratulations, Frank! I was off the air totally from 1992 until 2007,
although I kept my license current. I didn't discover the satellites until
about 15 months ago, and it's the most fun operating I've ever done. My
approach is different than many, but the old QRPer in me likes it this way ve
Congratulations Patrick!
That is a wonderful achievement - one that way fewer than the 308 before have
accomplished (i.e., Satellite WAS on the LEO satellites).
Thanks, too, for all your work to activate grids in your part of the world.
Many of us appreciate it very much.

Hey everyone,
Patrick, WD9EWK, has asked me to post that he will NOT be on the 0223 UTC pass
of AO-51 nor the 0315 UTC pass of SO-50.
He has a drive home of about 3 hours, and is starting that way shortly.
He also sends his gratitude to the 70+ stations he logged during passes of
AO-27, AO-51
Randy and all,
Google "AGW Packet Engine" and "UISS." The former provides a sound-card-based
TNC, and the latter is the terminal program you can run with it. This combo
works flawlessly for me with the ISS.
I hope this helps - I'll be looking for you on the ISS digipeater!

Simon,
I will be thrilled if you are able to get the Doppler-tuning function to work
with stability on a netbook with an Intel Atom processor driving an 8.9-inch
screen (the one built in to my Acer Aspire One). :)
