There are posts (supposedly) by UA1OEJ in the AO-7 log this month:

If AO-7 was near the North Pole, you could have been hearing him.
His QRZ.ru entry has an e-mail address; maybe you can try to
arrange a sked with him.  Good luck in trying to get him in your log.

As someone has pointed out, the official start of SKN is advertised as
0000Z. At least for this QTH there are no passes after that of AO-51. I
apologize if the SKN rules as posted on the webpage, and as most people
interpret SKN, are not 100% congruent. If you hear CW this evening, use
CW or give them the right of way.

We'll do better next time. Sometimes I stumble in trying to provide
everyone with what modes they want.

Ya'll just have fun and be safe tonight. Happy New Year.

Hi David and all,

At 9 months and 21 days on the birds I'm a little short of an anniversary,
however, it is fun and getting better!  I bought most of the equipment in
2008 with intentions of getting on rather quickly.  Being busy and other
time consuming projects pushed my "on air time" back each and every week
until after 2009 arrived.  Still having things pop up now and then I finally
managed to get on the birds March 10, 2009, my birthday.  After waiting so
long I deliberately set that date to get on the birds so I could justify it.
:)  Anyhow, the ISS was running hot and heavy and I figured this would be a
good chance to try things out.  My first contact was N6RSX, Craig, through
the ISS repeater.  WOW!  Was I hooked!

In this amount of time I've managed to work 124 grids, 35 states and 4 DXCC
countries strictly through the FM birds, AO-27, SO-50 and AO-51.  All of the
people I've worked through the birds, and communicated on the -bb, have been
helpful and great elmers as well as providers of new grids and states.  All
of the contacts I've made, and continue to make, are from outside the house
in the backyard, or on some occasions the front porch for some low westerly
passes.  Being in Las Vegas, NV, the extreme temperature swings from the
summers 115 degree days to the winters 50 degree days, and much cooler
nights, can bring challanges, but doesn't sway me from having fun with the
birds and other operators associated with them.

David, you bring up a good point about the clipboard and trying to do what
appears to be 4 things at once.  I've managed to cut down on the fumbling
around and make things more efficient than when I first started out.  I
still need to take care of a couple more rough edges and things will be much
better on my end.  There's always room for improvement. :)

To everybody here on the -bb and AMSAT........Happy New Year!

Hello All,

Today I noticed AO-16 buzzing over NA this afternoon, with it's signal
abruptly cutting off, and later back on a few times for several minutes, as
it aproached the North Pole.

I've no idea of the signifigance, if any that this behaviour indicates about
it's declining health...  or perhaps a command station was working with it
at the time?

Alan, WA4SCA,
The MicroHamm USB Device Router program generates virtual serial ports,
but I don't know for sure that they are straight-through; I see no
reason why they would NOT be.

The program can be downloaded at the microham site:

Hi!

After I finished up at the office this afternoon, I went to my
favorite city park (the park that straddles the DM33xp/DM43ap grid
boundary where I do much of my satellite operating) to work an
AO-51 pass around 0108 UTC followed by an AO-7 pass around 0207
UTC.  I thought about trying the cross-mode repeater on AO-51 to
work CW, but decided to stay on the normal FM repeater.  I worked
5 different stations from central Mexico to western Canada, and
heard a couple of others.  The AO-7 pass in the next hour was
interesting...

At the start of the pass, I found myself on the transponder and
made a few CQ calls in SSB.  No responses, but there were a few CW
signals - even above the middle of the passband.  I did not have a
straight key with me, so I did the next best thing to have something
that would work as a straight key.  I turned off the keyer in my
FT-817ND, which turned my small Mini-Paddle into a straight key of
sorts.  The lever that normally sent dahs did nothing, but the lever
for the dits functioned as a straight key.  Now I could work Straight
Key Night for the first time in the 32+ years since I got my first
ham license... and I'm trying it on a 35-year-old satellite, with a
paddle-turned-straight key on my portable all-mode satellite station
(two FT-817NDs, Elk Antennas handheld 2m/70cm log periodic).

Glenn AA5PK in west Texas found me within a minute of my first CQ
call.  I was able to tap a quick QSO with him, followed by another
QSO with Kerry WC7V in Montana.  Sorry if my CW was tough to copy;
it's been a while since I worked CW without using a keyer, and
sending it left-handed on a vertical straight key while holding my
antenna was something I had never tried before.  :-)  I should have
rigged up a camera to either snap some photos or record video while
I did this.  After my QSO with WC7V, about halfway through the pass,
CW signals were spreading out across most of the passband.  I heard
a couple of SSB signals, and switched back to SSB for the last few
minutes of the pass.  I worked Larry WA6DIR and Bob W7LRD before
AO-7 went away.

This was a fun way to start the new year on the UTC clock, before
going home and watching assorted New Year celebrations on the TV.
QSOs in FM, SSB, and CW; working through two different satellites.
Happy 2010 to all, and 73!

  Hi Andrew.

  Happy new year!

  Getting better by the day.  Thank you.  2 ideas.

  1) The main title  - Subject etc  is difficult to read in its present
white on light grey. A different colour background instead of the light grey
would be good. - Probably just a problem on some laptops LCD screens.

  2) Sorry this is probably too difficult.  - As it's a satellite reporting
system, would it be better instead of having a text subject, to have a
satellite as the subject. Possibly clickable from your list?  That would
also prevent abuse of the system with people who find the site at random
filling in their own text. Also, as the list has expanded to include NOAA
etc a drop down menu that allows you to find all the entries for a
particular satellite while excluding the others would be great for finding
the recent history of a particular satellite........Sorry, I did say it was
difficult, but that is one of the advantages of the DC Carr version which is
'graphical' and not text based.

  Still, a nice resource.

  Many thanks

  David

    Hi Andrew.

    Happy new year!

    Getting better by the day.  Thank you.  2 ideas.

    1) The main title  - Subject etc  is difficult to read in its present
white on light grey. A different colour background instead of the light grey
would be good. - Probably just a problem on some laptops LCD screens.

    2) Sorry this is probably too difficult.  - As it's a satellite
reporting system, would it be better instead of having a text subject, to
have a satellite as the subject. Possibly clickable from your list?  That
would also prevent abuse of the system with people who find the site at
random filling in their own text. Also, as the list has expanded to include
NOAA etc a drop down menu that allows you to find all the entries for a
particular satellite while excluding the others would be great for finding
the recent history of a particular satellite........Sorry, I did say it was
difficult, but that is one of the advantages of the DC Carr version which is
'graphical' and not text based.

    Still, a nice resource.

    Many thanks

    David

Heck . there were dits - and dahs - all over the place on AO-7 just now.
That was really wonderful to hear - and it was a joy to work so many
stations in CW on a single pass.



Thanks to everyone for lighting up Grand Old AO-7 with your straight-key CW.
I hope some of you can work Mode A tomorrow. It sure would be nice to have
SKN contacts in the log here using both modes.



73 and Happy New Year to all!
