Serious question regarding satellite durability. It seems with HO68, SO67, and
now AO51, the FM satellites are quickly going away. It also seems that the
older linear counterparts such as AO7, VO52 and FO29 all seem to continue
working properly.
Is there a design issue with the FM birds tha
I know this is a bit off topic I am finally ready to make a dipole or two.
I noticed that the solder I've been using (it came with the Weller gun) is
60/40. I am Planning to purchase a bit more and it seems to come in a variety
of mixes. Is there a preferred solder for amateur use and where
I miss most of the mid-day passes due to work (uugh) but am on most of the
evening passes and I haven't heard KL7CN yet on his Caribbean adventure. I'm
curious if anyone has heard/worked him and if so, is there a pattern to the
passes he is on? I'd like to try and "sneak" home during a day
A bit off topic - I am hoping to get better at making cables and dipoles
etc... and would like to replace the antiquated soldering iron I am attempting
to use with something more suited to the job. I'd appreciate a recommendation
as to brands/models I should be looking at for this type of work
Congrats John!!! That is quite the accomplishment.

I'm still struggling to figure out the best antenna configuration for me. I
was originally planning (and now own) to use a Gulf Alpha dual band fixed at
15* elevation, but I am now having 2nd thoughts. Being limited to 1 roof top
tower it might be prudent to get as much use out of the single m
Does anyone know the email address to send correspondence to Amsat? When I try

I just ordered my LVB box from Amsat as one of the final pcs. necessary to
finish building my base station. I know a CAT cable is needed from my 847 to
the computer, but what is required from the computer to the LVB box and from
the LVB to the rotator control box? For this installation, I plan
I am awaiting delivery of a Gulf Alpha dual band antenna that I plan to mount
on a single mast for azimuth-only control. I've read various reports of metal
masts causing polarity (?) issues and others that say they are ok as long as
you don't align the elements with the mast etc...
So - what
I purchased a Yaesu 847 for both satellite and HF work. Since this is my 1st
base-style transceiver I am now in need of a power supply. I was originally
considering the Astron RS35M and am curious if linear or switching is the
proper choice? Is there a Amsat BB favorite between switching and
I am finally in the market for a base station radio for satellites. I should
mention that I am also planning to install a wire dipole in the backyard for HF
work, but convenience shouldn't be the reason to buy/not to buy a radio.
It seems that the Icom 910 and Yaesu 847 are the two main tra
I am getting closer to putting my first satellite base station together (in
lieu of the Arrow that I am currently using) and am giving serious
consideration to a fixed 15* antenna setup such as the Gulf Alpha designs.
Having never mounted antennas, rotors etc... I am a bit concerned about my le
Now that we have a week of so67 activity I am confused about the tone. I am
currently using the tone, and made 1 contact (new grid!) on the only pass I
could work yesterday. I'm also reading a few reports about not using the tone
as the preferred method of working so67. What is the BB vote -
Good afternoon all -
As I am officially hooked after my first week of operating the satellites, I am
trying to gain a bit better operating setup. I love the arrow and tripod that
I am using and find the Yaesu FT60 to be perfectly suitable. I am thinking
that operating duplex would be a big h

Hi Zach,
Couple quick things to check:
1--make sure you're using the same TLE file for both WinAOS and the regular
part
I recently downloaded pcsat32 and find it pretty amazing. I have verified that
the keps are current and the time and coordinates are all correct. The program
also shows all of the sats that I track in the proper place. When i click the
countdown, these times are correct as well. However, whe
