Hi,
Wes, KP4WES; is the youngest ham in a family of hams. His father
Walter, WP4T; his mother Carmen, WP3PJ; and his 13 year old brother,
Walner, WP4NYS; are all active on the satellites. They can often be
heard at the beginning of the afternoon, AO-27 passes coming up from
the south.

Hello all,
I just returned from my trip to DM86/87 and wanted to post a short bit of
info about my adventures.
The main purpose for my trip was to attend the Okie-Tex Star Party just
outside the tiny town of Kenton, OK in the far west part of the OK
Panhandle. At night I planned to do lots of stargazing from this incredibly
dark location and during the day I wanted to work as many satellite passes
as I could. Kenton, with a population of about 23, is located in grid
square DM86 and is just a few miles south of the OK-CO border and about 1
1/2 miles east of the OK-NM border. (Kenton is the only town in Oklahoma on
Mountain Time). I also planned to make a few trips to the DM86/87 grid
boundary to activate that rare grid.
On my way out west I had a planned stop Thursday night, 9/10, at Wilson
State Park in Kansas, Grid EM08. I had pass predictions for SO-50 and AO-51
but only ended up making 5 QSOs from this location on SO-50, as I was
unaware that AO-51 had not been operating. These QSOs were from N38?
55.452' W98? 29.523'
On Friday night, 9/11, I ended up staying just outside my final destination
near Kenton at Black Mesa State Park in DM86 where I worked one pass of
SO-50 and made 7 QSOs. These QSOs were from N36? 50.587' W102? 52.942'
On Saturday morning, 9/12, I arrived at Camp Billy Joe where the star party
was held at N36? 53.904' W102? 57.073' All of my contacts from DM86, except
the state park QSOs, were made from this location. My satellite operating
was mostly confined to mid-morning to early evening passes. I had to work
around the star party activities, meals and my sleep schedule. During the 8
days I was here I made 44 QSOs on AO-51, SO-50 and AO-27 from DM86.
For my DM86/87 operating I had to travel only about 8 miles north to the
CO-OK border. My location was just about 500 feet east of the point where
the states of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Colorado have their common border. I
hoped to operate from this common border where there is a granite obelisk
marking the tri-state point, but the coordinates of this point are N37?
00.012' W103? 00.139' thus it seemed to be located just north of the true
grid boundary. I ended up working all DM86/87 contacts from exactly N37?
00.000' W103? 00.000' This point was easy enough to find, fortunately,
because someone had created a small marker made from a pile of rocks to mark
this convergence point. I set my GPS on this rock pile and let it average
for about 10 minutes to confirm that I was standing on the exact grid
boundary. To the best of my knowledge this point is smack dab on the
Colorado-Oklahoma state line, or possibly just over the border in Colorado.
(Google maps show this as bein!
g in Colorado, but it's pretty close to the true border, nonetheless).
The DM86/87 site was accessible from the star party by driving north on an
unmarked but paved road just outside the entrance to the camp, around the
east side of Black Mesa (the highest point in Oklahoma) then north to the
Colorado border. At the border the pavement ends and continues north into
Colorado as a dirt road. At this point I needed to head west about a mile
down another dirt road, which leads to the tri-state marker. My operating
location was just about 50 feet north of this dirt road in the middle of an
open field full of cactus, Yucca and sunflowers.
I made two trips to DM86/87. Both were chosen to coincide with simultaneous
AO-51 and SO-50 passes that were both high elevation passes and not far
apart in time. I ended up making a total of 34 QSOs from the two trips to
the DM86/87 grid boundary. It was a very fun experience hearing station
after station calling me, sort of a mini pileup! I was very surprised how
well I could hear SO-50 even down near the horizon. From home I usually
can't hear SO-50 until it's at least 30 degrees above the horizon in the
clear from the trees and buildings. On the first SO-50 pass I worked from
DM86/87 I could hear Patrick WD9EWK calling me very weakly but perfectly
readable. This was a few minutes before the Heavens-Above AOS prediction.
The satellite was at less than 10 degrees elevation at the time!
I ended up with exactly 90 QSOs total from all three locations for the week.
I have not tallied up how many different stations or grids I worked on my
trip yet.
The Black Mesa area is a very beautiful and remote region. My DM86/87 QSOs
were especially memorable because they took place near sunset which really
added to the experience and beauty of the area. I plan to use some of the
photos I took for making up the QSL cards.
As for QSLs, I have received a number of nice emails and had a pile of snail
mail requests waiting for me when I got home. I'll get QSLs out ASAP,
hopefully within a few weeks. If you need a card just send me an email or
you can send a direct request to my QRZ address. No SASE needed.
The only downsides of the whole trip was the speeding ticket I received in
Keyes, OK, having one of my van's windows completely shattered by a rock
that fell out of a dump truck on I-80 near Des Moines, Iowa on my way home,
having only three clear nights out of eight at the star party and driving
2300 miles round trip. On the plus side, one of the emails I received
thanked me for the new grids and stated, "You've made my day." Well, that
email made my day too and made the whole trip all worth it.

I've been meaning to setup some antennas for satellite operation for
awhile here. And since I will probably end up doing it this
fall/winder I had a question I was wondering about, before I get the
antennas completely built connected up.
I plan on using a circular polarized antenna, for lhcr and rhcr.
Since this setup has two coax that your switch a 1/4wave (if I
remember right) to either side to create the two rotations in the
antenna.
Is there a way I can modify this to feed two radios? so one radio
would receive lhcr, and the other rhcr? Or would I be forced to use
two antennas to do this?
The only idea I have is to use a signal splitter on each of the two
antenna halfs before joining them, then join each of those splits into
the cr parts. But I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this
without as much loss, or if this might cause a backfeed that would
defeat the me from getting any signal at all.
Maybe there is a good writeup of this on the web somewhere, but I have
no clue what the proper terms to google it are, and haven't had any
luck.
Thanks.

Hello,
You can use this preliminary TLE's to peak the beacon data from SwissCube
satellite. More information's & tools on http://swisscube-live.ch &
http://swisscube.epfl.ch .
First pass is on West coast (LE) at 07:10 UTC but low elevation & short time.

Hi all,
please find an update on the ISILaunch01 below:
1. Launch has been successful, the PSLV-C14 has put all satellites including
the four cubesats into orbit. Separation of the four CubeSats was confirmed
exactly on time.
2. Launch has been exactly on time so the estimated TLE on
http://blog.isilaunch.com/ are still valid, at this moment a pass over the
Western US is coming up, so any help in listening for beacons is
appreciated!

Hi Wouter,
Congratulations!!
PSLV has made it again. 15th consecutive successful launch. With this
launch PSLV has launched as many as 15 satellites carrying amateur
radio payloads so for, while HAMSAT-VO52 being the first one. We hope
PSLV/ISRO would soon make a record of launching the highest number of
satellites for amateur radio services by a single launch agency.
Good Luck!

Aloha,
Thanks to all of you that showed up on the satellite and made my trip down
to the most southern tip of the Hawaiian Island group worthwhile.
My last QSO was with KL7XJ which is the most difficult due to Mauna Loa
volcano blocking that direction.
I'll be back on Kauai Thursday, anyone need BL01 or 02, email me and I'll
try to get on during my last week on the island.
73, Ron

Hi,
Just heard a CW beacon on 437.385 with Doppler. It was 56-57. I was
looking for the cubesats just launched by PSLV. As per the estimated
TLEs, those Sats were within my AOS at 08.03 Z with 10 degree (W)
elevation . Any confirmation on this ?

Hi all,
please find an update on the ISILaunch01 below:
1. Directly after the launch the orbit took the satellites directly over the
western part of the United States. Thanks to efforts by CalPoly and SRI, the
teams have been able to confirm that at least two of the four satellites are
transmitting beacon data. The two satellites that have been heard are
SwissCube and ITUpSAT1, which could be identified by their CW beacon.
We continue to wait for the first passes over the groundstations of the
teams in Europe, which should occur around 09:30 UTC.
best 73 on behalf of an excited ISILaunch01 team!

We here at Cal Poly and SRI just listened to our first pass from the
recent PSLV launch and heard both ITUpSat1 and SwissCube. Our beacon
recordings can be found at
http://mstl.atl.calpoly.edu/~bklofas/PSLV/
We're still on the watch and looking for clear UWE-2 and BeeSat
signals. Congrats to everyone associated with the PSLV launch!
