Terry,
I hate !!!!!! you ... and if I was back in Blighty you could bet your Sunday
britches I'd cut your coax !!! ... but I can tell you now mate, you're wasting
your time chasing Joe .. that's about as sensible as a one legged man kicking
"botty".
Congratulations !!! ... and one of these days I might even be able to afford a
microphone!.

I know starting out can be tough and discouraging for our newer Amsaters,
especially when trying to make QSOs on the "easy sats". I just wanted to let
you know that I called and called and called CQ on AO-51 this morning with no
takers, just an occasional keyup from someone here too on the east coast.
Some of these morning passes I can make 2 or 3 nice contacts and even get a
chance to learn their name or what the weather is like on the other end.
I worked 2 new grids this weekend on the morning passes and heard the same
alligators on the evening passes.... Wake up early and head ourside with your
handheld or however you can access the satellites, Im sure you will discover
what they orignially meant in the words "easy sat." Keep with it. Keep
trying. Keep reading and studying. You can do it!
Here is my recording of thins AMs "no takers" pass.

Good luck

Greetings all,
Can someone explain why the only orbits ever discussed these days--and for the
past decade and more--are either very low or very high? What really happened
to the AO-7-type orbits that were prevalent in days of yore, and so useful?
Why aren't current day birds ever placed in these orbits? Are they
incompatible with today's launch vehicles or their intended orbits?
Many thanks and 73,
Tony, N2UN

Dear All,
Greetings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I have built one LVB Tracker complete kit from AMSAT-UK, and am
extremely pleased with it. Now I would like to build another unit, but
this time from scratch. I have two questions about this tracker,
which I hope someone can help me clarify.
1. Can someone kindly advice a suitable LCD panel for this tracker?
Would the Powertip PC1602ARU-HWB-G be compatible with this tracker?
(RS Part Number 466-6452)
2. I am also very interested into the Ethernet interface, but have no
clue on how this works. I know a suitable unit is produced by
Lantronix but that is about it. Could someone kindly advice what do I
need to get the Ethernet interface going? Is there an evaluation kit
readily available like the one from FTDI for the USB interface?
Any help and advice is really appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
73,
Sion Chow Q. C.,
9W2QC.
