Getting really close to having everything installed and working on the roof!
May get to work some birds later today if the XYL doesn't corner me with
housekeeping chores in preparation for tomorrow.
One of the antennas that I'm putting up is an old Cushcraft 30 element 440
with a polarity switch. I have not been able to find any documentation on
this antenna and I wonder if there is an easy way to determine if the
antenna is set up for RHCP or LHCP. Clearly feeding 12v to the switch will
change the polarity but I'm wondering if there is an easy way to determine
what the default setting is before the switch is energized.

IIRC, the default (unpowered) was RHCP.
Somewhere I have the manual for that antenna (I have one), and if I can find
it, I'll check.

Hi David,
AO51 435.150MHz transmitter is LHCP
AO51 435.300MHz transmitter is RHCP
although there will be occasional fades during a pass and sometimes the two
TXs are not providing identical RF levels, the difference should be quite
great and enough to determine which way round the switch works!
good luck

Feels *good*, doesn't it? Welcome to the club. You just sent a message
into space, and got it back again.
Handheld QRP satellite operation is a lot of fun. If only there were
more LEO FM birds... (tongue slightly in cheek)

We just enabled the 1268.700/435.150 repeater for the holiday weekend in
the US. Power on the 435.3 transmitter is now 550mw, and 435.15 is
490mw. Enjoy!

Hello All,
During the period November 16 - November 19, 2009 AO-51 was configured
as follows:
38k4 BBS, L/U
Uplink: 1268.700 MHz 9k6 FM
Downlink: 435.150 MHz 38k4 FM
According to my records, the 38k4 packet mode had not been used in
more than 3 years!
In order to facilitate the high speed packet testing, the satellite
was configured such that TXB (435.300) was OFF and TXA (435.150) was
set to between 2.05-2.15 W output. During last 12 hours of the period
the baud rate was reduced to 9600. The bird performed nominally
during this period. Interested parties can always peruse the whole
orbit telemetry data from AO-51 at:
ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/telemetry/ao51
Several users reported activity during this mode, and we appreciate
your feedback.
Additional 38k4 packet testing at lower transmit power levels may
occur in the future; the reduced power output should permit
simultaneous operations of TXA and TXB so that voice operations can
continue during the testing.
On behalf of the command team,
Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]

Hello all AO-7 fans
I just recently worked Ari-TF3ARI.? After several emails and a few false
starts we connected on old AO-7.? The footprint from TF will cover?most of
the U.S.!? Another good reason to get on old AO-7!? I'm sure he will
eventually get to meet most of the "regulars".

Hi all,
Is there a logging program that will log satellite contacts (grid square
and satellite) as well as keeping track of the grid squares worked so
you know if it is a dupe? I have not been able to find anything that
will do it.
Thanks

Bob,
Have you looked at DXKeeper and the other DXLab programs? They do an
excellent job of handling satellite QSOs, including LoTW and eQSL. DXKeepr
will generate a report of VUCC, grid squares, including worked, confirmed,
etc, in different formats. I not much of an award collector, so I can't
compare these features with other programs. It is a very powerful set of
programs, but the learning curve is reasonable. Oh yes, and it is free,
with better support than many expensive programs.

Thanks to all who answered. I have used several of these programs,

N3FJP's AC Log 3.0 will track grids, and do Satellites as well as automatic
LOTW entry. It will not tell you a grid is a dupe, just track the grids you
have worked.

I was searching through the net to try to find out QSO distance records for
some of the LEO sats such as AO-27, AO-51, SO-50, etc. Anyone know where
that info may be found or does anyone have a personal record of your
furthest contact? I was looking through my HRD logbook and so far, KL4E on
AO51 in BP51fh (Alaska) to my QTH in EM12hv (Texas) is my personal record at
3016 miles. It just got me thinking.

Hi all.
The plans for the antennas on Columbus have clearly been a great success.
Lou and AMSAT-NA have done a wonderful job with the VHF/UHF and
ARISS in general have manged to get permission / fund raise and purchase /
fit patches for L and S band. - Great job everyone.
A couple of weeks ago I was at a UK microwave event and was asked " Now we
have the antennas, when will the hardware be launched?"
-Rapidly followed by: "What is being launched?"
I'm not often stuck for an answer on satellite topics, but I was on this
occassion.
Does anyone know:
Is there a plan
Is there any hardware being built / purchased
Is there a committee sitting somewhere creating a specification so they can
say - Who can build us this for us....?
Currently within AMSAT there is a lot of work going on designing modules for
space. HF VHF UHF together with L S and C Band are all being assembled in
various parts of the world.
We collectively have the designs / people and ability to make this happen.
I just hope it is all happening, but 'under the radar'
Thanks
David

We plan to use the V/U antenna with the Ericsson HTs (VHF and UHF)
that were the original ham equipment aboard ISS. However, power
hookups in Columbus differ from other parts of ISS and the Ericssons
won't be operational until we can design, build, and fly a new power
distribution box. Work is underway for this.
The L and S band antennas were managed from Europe and I haven't heard
how equipment for them is coming along.

Kevin,
My personal best on an LEO is Norway to Japan - (FO-20 in 1997).
Depending whether you classsify AO-7 as a LEO bird - (with an orbital height
of 1400Km) - the current record there
is 7500 - 7700Km, by several stations.
You may have been only interested in FM satellites, to9 which I have no idea.
Hope that helps somewhat.

Hi Sat folks,
Last evening at 0045 to 0054 UTC just right after dark here in Utah
there was a pass of the ISS and the space shuttle that was spectacular
to watch. The two were separated and the shuttle was trailing the ISS
in orbit probably by several hundred miles. The sight was just awesome!
