Some maritime TVRO antennas used a mechanical scan at the feed point. A
motor would either rotate an attenuator disk or offset the feed in a
circular motion. A resolver kept track of the feed location in relation to
received signal strength. The antenna was then slewed in the direction of
best signal in both AZ and EL. Sort of a poor mans monopulse system. This
works OK for antennas in the microwave region but would not work to well for
VHF/UHF low gain arrays. What might work well is to use a pair of antennas
with a "doppler scan" circuit that steered the rotor toward the estimated
direction of the signal.

I was listening during a 65 degree elevation rising pass over the NE
U.S. on October 22 between 16:15 and 16:30 EDT and heard nothing. I was
tuned to 437.125 and have an SDR-14 connected to the receiver IF.
During the pass the SDR-14 was set to display a +/- 20khz window and
nothing was seen. I replayed the pass recording and looked at it with
the SDR-14's widest window (+/- 95khz) and still saw nothing.
Looks like LO-19 may have joined my other favorite ham-sat, GO-32 in
going silent.

Based on this, you will need to add a line in the SUBTONES.SQF file. For
the FT-847 this is:
SO-67,233.6,$01,1
It will be different for the FT-736, and possibly other rigs, so check the
file for hints.
The line in the DOPPLER.SQF file will read:
SO-67,435345,145875,FM,FM,NOR,0,0
Looks like those of us in the SE US will not hear it, so let us know how it
goes.

I'll be shutting the user uplink for the BBS on L band off at about
2240Z 23OCT for about 24 hours. Telemetry will remain on. There may also
be a brief interruption on the repeater at about this time, and an
increase in power. Just an FYI.

A couple weeks ago at the Symposium, the following was talked about: ?
"Symposium attendees will also receive ?
a 40th Anniversary History of AMSAT written/edited by Bill Tynan, W3XO ?
in their registration packets.? Many of us don't know the 'story of ?
AMSAT', and thanks to the work of Bill Tynan, Dick Daniels, Keith ?
Baker and others, we've focused this year on telling AMSAT's story ?
through their articles in the AMSAT Journal. Bill's new book provides ?
significantly more detail as well as brings the reader right up to the ?
current year.? It makes for fun reading and gives recognition to the ?
significant achievements over the past 40 years!"
Does anyone know if Bill's new book is going to be made available to
those of us who weren't able to attend the Symposium?

Should be easy to hear, the signal from this sat was huge here in the UK
earlier in the week during a test activation pass on the 21st October @
09.25utc.

Good day all,
The satellite V/U transponder is scheduled to be on today, between the times
17:52 and 18:03 UTC.
Some parts of Canada and the USA should have access.
It would be great to receive feedback and or recordings of this first
activation in that part of the world.

LUSAT-1, LO-19 stop transmiting CW tlm on 437.125 MHz probably around
october 20.
Last received report is from Oct-11, after that a I noticed a drift in
frequency, besides doppler.
We hope to re-live LUSAT to allow him to celebrate its 20 years in
space next January 23.
Welcome any reports.
