Hi Henk. Nice video. VA3FM had my callsign incorrect, it is WB3CSY. He was
asking me to repeat my grid. That was my first contact via HO68 (thanks
Steven) using 5 watts with my Yaesu FT-60R and an Arrow antenna. It is very
difficult to make a contact via HO68 with that equipment versus the other FM
birds.
73,
Rick - WB3CSY

OSCAR VI used the metal from a pocket tape measure for the 10-meter antenna.
This was folded and was held in this position until the release was
activated from the ground. When released, the antenna "deployed", sticking
straight out from two sides of the satellite. The QSL cards for receiving
OSCAR VI even had the "inches" scale showing on the satellite graphics.
This use of "common" items was definitely mentioned in the articles about
the satellite.
A tape measure is designed to hold straight until "reeled" in and this
worked beautifully for the satellite. Not only was it functional, it was
VERY inexpensive.

But a question that has always nagged me...? Perhaps someone on the BB knows
the answer?
I understand that the early Oscars got their ride into space by replacing a
piece of concrete (or similar dead weight material) with our satellite.?
That's why they have the shape that they do (looking like a segment of a
ring).
But what about the antenna?? Was it deployed after launch, or did it ride
into space already sticking out the side?? An on-orbit deploy would have
been excessively complicated for that era (it's even difficult today!), but
I can't see something like that surviving launch intact, either.
Anybody know?

Anyone have a lead on a service manual for this rig? I've googled until my
eyes
hurt, and cannot seem to find one available anywhere.
Thanks,

According to Google and Bing, there are lots of free and commercial virtual
serial port emulators, with a range of features including automatic error
injection for testing. However, all of them emulate null modem cables so
far as I can find. This is a problem in some applications, such as the use
of serial ports for control functions where a straight through cable is
expected. Has anyone encountered a virtual port driver which can be
configured for other than a null modem cable?
TNX,
