Group,
Once again, it seems that some of the Amsat-bb members have
apparently no clue as to what goes on outside America.

The future of the ISS, discussion ...

It does appear that some of the contributors are oblivious to the fact that
The Russians have already informed NASA that they (The Russians) intend
to pull the plug, to concentrate on their own space station ... more than
likely backed by The European Space Agency.

News and comments at the end of the following website. ...

<http://www.russianspaceweb.com/opsek.html>

GM1SXX and myself wrote an article on this very subject some time ago.

Those interested may read it at ...

<http://www.observations.biz/Joint_Observations/Joint_observations_07_07_2009.
htm>

Somebody commented - "It's politics" ... that part is true, it's mainly a
combination
of politics and money.

My own personal opinion is that the Russians don't fancy the idea of footing
the bill alone, and prefer to do things their own way.

Hi Jim,
I have the IC910H with the L band module.  I have used when AO51 is
in L/U mode.
I am using LMR400 for feed and I have a DEMI Circular polarized 12 turn
helix antenna.
When I am on AO51 I can not get to low to my horizon.  I know it works I
have been able
to work Washington and California  from south central Alaska with it.
My plans are to get
one of the KJ6KO amps and a power supply for the amp.  I am pleased to
have it working barefoot.
I may have 6 watts at the antenna.

Subject: [amsat-bb] ?A memorable night in the AO-7


Hello to all,

I published a video/audio on the Internet with a few QSOs among of friends via
AO-7 - in the same orbit. I found interesting post the video file because I
still had not heard at other times this number of friends by using the AO-7. I
feel privileged to be in my city and listen to many friends through the AO-7.
I gave the name the video "A memorable night in the AO-7". Well, I am not an
expert in assembling the videos, but I hope we all enjoy and feel excited to
participate actively in future projects of satellites for radio amateurs.

The video is approximately 22 minutes,
see here: http://spacesat.blogspot.com/2009/08/uma-noite-memoravel-no-ao-
7.html

Hello Jim

I use a 910 on L band, it drives a KJ6KO amp at about 60-70W.? This goes
through about 17M of LMR400, so I am?loosing a few db there.? Antenna is a
homebrew 16 turn RHCP helix.? I should try AO-51 without the amp, just to see
what happens.? I'll send you picture in a separate email.

Hi Folks,

??I would be interested to know if anyone is using an ICOM 910 with the L-Band
module for Ao-51 uplink on the BBS? (The optional L-Band unit for the 910 runs
10
watts according to the book).

??I am particularly interested to know what type/gain of antenna I would need
to get
a reliable up link. I am planning to use about 20 metres of Ecoflex 10, which
will
introduce a loss of something like 3 Dbs.

??I know that the LBand/Digital up link is currently off, just gettting ready
for
the next 'on' period!

73s
