Hi Bill and Drew,
I'd just like to let you and the board know that I appreciate your
efforts to get sats of any kind into orbit. I'm sure I'm not alone in
that but maybe you guys don't hear words of appreciation often enough,
it sure doesn't seem like it when I read this BB. I would dearly love to
be able to operate on an HEO satellite since I have never experienced it
before but I understand the reality. I don't for the life of me
understand why some people seem to feel that the BOD is somehow against
the concept of HEO's now. I must say that I find the term "grid sat" to
be derisive. Most of us out here are just trying to have fun and if a
single channel FM satellite is what's up there to do it with, and all we
can do is exchange grid squares then so be it.
I hope that AMSAT DL is somehow able to get P3-E launched then I will
be able to experience HEO's and the guys who miss them so much will
hopefully be content . Does anyone have any idea when they might receive
a definite answer from their government?
73,
Michael, W4HIJ

Hi Mark, WD4ELG
First of all see if the noise level increases when you power supply your

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.

Hi Luc,
Both Bill, VO1OR and Joe, VO1BQ are active on the sats from
Newfoundland. VO1BQ is often found on those lower easterly passes from
on top of Signal Hill above St. John's harbour.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for understanding the real world we face regarding launches.
It is really anyone's guess if and when the German government will
support P3E. With the World economic situation being what it is, not
many agencies have an extra 8 to 10 million dollars lying about. Also
remember that the launch costs to HEO for AMSAT-DL are no different than
ours, hence the need to try and have the government underwrite those
costs. The P3E team is very hard at work trying different strategies to
get government support.
On the plus side, P3E is about 90% complete so if the OK would come in
the near future, they would be just about ready to go.
Regard...Bill - N6GHz

and they now seem consistent with the AMSAT page. I'll give it a try at 1100.

Hi Luc,
Both Bill, VO1OR and Joe, VO1BQ are active on the sats from
Newfoundland. VO1BQ is often found on those lower easterly passes from
on top of Signal Hill above St. John's harbour.

The HTML code to redirect is not complete:
Here is the source:
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;http://www.camsat.cn/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5
6&Itemid=67"

And this code misses a lot of base code. Something like the following

So the right url is
http://www.camsat.cn/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=67
That shows that sites with uncompleet or incorrect source can be reproduced by
browsers like Firefox. What is actual wrong and not secure.

Hi Folks,
I am using the WISP program since it was invented.
I would like to know if it is possible to set the schedule
For the AO-51 bird.
If yes how to write the correct schedule?
I remember that with the AO-13 there was the MA for the
AO-51 we have just the range dates.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
