A good step in the right direction for this one in the mean time.

AO-51 is currently in Mode V/S on 145.88/2401.200. With our attitude
inverted from normal, I'm interested in any S band reports. The L/S
antenna should be pointed towards the ground now in the southern
hemisphere, and away in the northern. The schedule indicates we would
concurrently run the 9k6 telemetry downlink on 435.150. Due to low
battery voltages and being near the bottom of the output power selection
range, I shut off the 435.150 transmitter this morning at about 1025 UTC.
Please send any reports on the Mode S signal to ko4ma@xxxxx.xxx. or
ao51-modes@xxxxx.xxx.
Thanks, Drew KO4MA

AO-51 was not heard on the V/S mode at the schedule time only the 9K6
telemetry is present?
Did anyone hear something on 2401.200mhz here nothing has been received yet
and downconverter is working as i got the usual WI-FI pop pop
signals. Could be the attitude reversal killed the S band signal completely
in the Northern hemisphere?

The W32a is sold. Now all we have to do is wait for the sat contact and we
will then donate the $100 to AMSAT. Thanks to everyone for all the interest
in the W32a.....

I have a very clean, in near perfect condition IC-W32a for sale. Included
in the sale is of course, the W32a , 2 batteries, wall wart, manual and
original packing. All is perfect unused condition. I also will throw in a
copy of the programming software (and maybe the cable) I need to see if I
have two of the cables. $225.00 shipped. As an added incentive, I will
donate, in both of our names a total of $100 to AMSAT, IF the person who
buys it from me makes a satellite contact with me using the W32a bought from
me...

Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center into a sun-synchronous orbit about 1200
kilometers high, The primary payload of this launch will be Yaogen-8 Remote
Sensing Satellite.

UPDATE 12/13/09: I have run the ZAGG spark portable power pack through
a couple charge cycles. It is impressive. I am working on a deal where
if you purchase one, $10 will be sent to AMSAT. Stay tuned ... I will
be creating a Web page with detailed information. - Clint Bradford,
K6LCS

Ever wanted more battery life from your iPod / PDA / cell phone or
other device
that charges via USB? Of course we have.
The company name, ZAGG, might not ring a bell with you. But more of
you have
heard of the InvisibleSHIELD line they market - IMHO the best of the
screen
protectors for our PDA and cellphone screens.
Well, ZAGG just introduced what appears to be the best of the
"portable USB
device power packs" available.
Although the ZAGGsparq is marketed as being "able to charge an Apple
iPhone up
to four times," I see it being used for a lot more applications.
Physically, it's 3.5 x 3.5 x 1" in size. Its Lithium Polymer battery
pack is
rated at 6000mAH - that's SIX AMPS in your little pack. Only the
Amstron PP66S
has that capacity ... but the ZAGG offers more features than the
Amstron.
ZAGGspark works with any of your devices that uses a USB cord for
charging.
Plus, it provides TWO USB ports for charging your mobile devices when
plugged
into an AC outlet.
Weighs a tad over a half-pound. Four LEDs indicate the pack's power
level
(25% / 50% / 75% / 100%).
I just ordered one, and will immediately put it to use. It's going to
power my
Verizon MiFi 2200 and Apple 32GB iPod touch. I'll report back how it
performs.
