Most of them are not the masochist I seem to be with regards to -bb.
I don't think committing to build satellites that we CANNOT afford to
launch is good business, and neither do my fellow BOD members. Designing
a satellite for an unknown launcher envelope and orbit isn't very wise
either. Or would you prefer we have -two- HEOs that no amateur effort
could afford to launch? AMSAT members should understand the days of
cheap and nearly free launches to anywhere are over, especially to HEO.
ESA's past charity with the Phase 3 Ariane launches has really ruined
all reasonable expectations. I understand your frustration, but
directing it towards the BOD is not productive. Sometimes you have to
suck it up and face facts.
We currently have two new projects in development. One is a 1U cubesat
known as AMSAT-Fox. 1U cubes only generate about 2w DC orbit average,
which is not enough to run a transponder at a level of performance our
members would expect. This is why it is a single channel system at this
point of development. The radios will also be suitable for inclusion on
other cubesats, as a income source for AMSAT, and as motivation to
develop secondary amateur missions. Fox can also serve as a partial
successor to AO-51 for about 1/5th of the cost. Without even really
starting fundraising yet, we are well on our way to being able to pay
for construction and launch.
The other project includes a Mode U/V linear transponder as a possible
secondary package on a host satellite going to LEO. Sorry if that
doesn't meet your approval to be classified as a non-"grid sat". It's
the best we can afford to do in both terms of money and volunteers.
We also have a third project in cooperation with SUNY Binghamton and IBM
to develop the frame and power systems for a 3U cubesat that will
support good LEO comms missions.
I've been beating the bushes to find ways to get us back into the
business of building and FLYING satellites, along with the rest of the
Engineering Task Force. I have a spreadsheet two pages long of failed
attempts and contacts, with only a few "may happen"s. Perhaps we'll find
some path back to high orbit when we can revive Eagle, but we shouldn't
and won't twiddle our thumbs until then.

Hi Vince,
Speaking as a Board member, I'm very confident the Board will commit to
building an Eagle (HEO satellite) when it can see a "clear" financial
path to building and launching it. We learned with the Eagle effort,
that satellite launches are now a very mature business enterprise and
the folks doing it are doing it make a profit. Remember we're talking
"8 plus million dollars" here just for the HEO launch costs.
As Drew states the days of folks in high places being able to secure
free or relatively low cost launches for us is "very" over. We are now
focusing on what is affordable and realistic.
So you can ring your hands in frustration about what was once possible,
and still most desirable, or you came out from the HEO dream and help
support what is "real" today. Every Board member would dearly love to
build and launch a HEO, but we finally realized, with the cold hard
facts before us, that we just can't do it. We hope that AMSAT-DL can get
the German government to fund the P3E launch. They're our best HEO hope
right now.
All that being said, this Board is working very hard to continue the
pursuit of any and all launch opportunities, and who knows, maybe an
affordable HEO opportunity will appear. That's our dream wish too, but
until then, we must proceed on a realistic and affordable path "back
into space."

Mark,
I would first check the current draw, which should be around 170-180 ma in
RX. And there is always the old trick of hooking it up backwards. Been
there, done that. ;) If that is good, then look at the coax cables.

Was working before the QTH relo. Reinstalled in the attic. The 144 preamp,
same power supply, working just fine.
Any ideas on how to check w/o taking it apart? The connectors have not been
modified.
As always, I am certain it is something simple.

there must have been a email I missed, that specified the
'brand,make/model ' of preamp
or do they all draw 170-180ma?

I recently had the privilege (?) of removing a couple of Big Ugly Dishes (in

no help)....
Space Vision LNA model 7740
Mido Electronics block converter model MBC-101
Echostar model HEMT-1170M
Astro Pro LNB model 2020CS
Thanks in advance...

Works perfectly in Firefox 3.5 on Linux. The fonts look a little odd,
but that's because it's a zh-cn charset. I didn't realise anyone still
used IE - it accounts for less than 5% of all browsers hitting all sites
I look after...

OK, Huston, we have a problem.
When IE loads the page it goes nuts and just keeps trying to load while the
progress toolbar flashes.
Something is amiss with the web page.

Rick,
I've been using Orbitron but I see it is not matching the times on the AMSAT
Pass Predictions, so you must be correct. I have downloaded fresh info with
Orbitron's TLE Updater so I'm not sure what's wrong, some type of issue with
the program or what.
I'll try AO-51 tomorrow morning using the times on the AMSAT page.
73, Bill
