If you want keps for the newest sats then sign up to Space-Track and
download them yourself rather than waiting for
someone else to do it.

Hello and happy new year,
I've just been listening to AO-7. The 10m beacon was off and I couldn't
raise a signal through the transponder. But I did hear the 70cm beacon
and it was only transmitting a constant carrier (no RTTY or CW this time).
Any of the old hands know what would cause this?

Ok I have added grid - but i will leave it as a free field for the time

I am doing this because people might move around.
What I will do though, is make it look up and populate the add form with you

Andrew,
Here's a link to grid square details.
http://www.arrl.org/locate/gridinfo.html
Here in US, we usually use the first 4 characters for QSOs on the birds.
Can you store data on the server? If so, it would be cool when I enter my
callsign, the page pre-populates grid, QTH, etc.

Hey Andy,
No disrespect ... but the Grand Old Girl has been in Mode A. I worked KC9ELU
this morning and AA5PK after the AO-51 pass you mention in this email, both
on Mode A.
Thanks to you for the contact on AO-51.
Happy New Year, and 73 to all,

Now that I know where to find them, perhaps I will sign up.
I never asked anyone to download them for me--perhaps you should read my

Perhaps you didn't ask anyone personally but Amsat, ARRL, Celestrack,
Heavens Above etc ALL download them from Space
Track so, in effect, most people rely on someone else downloading their keps
and selecting the satellites that are listed.
If you go directly to Space Track for them you generate your own
"favourites" list.
You will have to fill in an application form on line and wait for the
authorisation but it is worth the trouble.

It's not a case of "lighten up".
How often have you seen the Amsat or ARRL keps bulletin and noticed a severe
lack of the satellite you were looking for.
Why not get them yourself and get the satellites you need, not those someone
else thought you should have.
We should be teaching people to be reasonably self sufficient not teaching
them to expect someone else to do it.

I applied at space-track several weeks ago and have heard nothing to date. I
entered AMSAT-NA for the required "organization," but that was a guess. I
did check Ham Radio Operator. For now, I'm satisfied with Orbitron updates
via celestrak.

I take your point but there might surely be better ways of phrasing it!
I thought your reply was a little...how shall I put it... abrupt!
In actual fact, if you filtered out the sort of postings that you are
referring to, there wouldn't be much traffic left on the AMSAT bb !

Hah!
I should have tuned aroung 10M more carefully, instead of just listening to
the Doppler shift on 70cm!

Just about every other day currently. Take a look at
http://oscar.dcarr.org/ to get an idea of the pattern at a glance.

For what it's worth, I find the AO-7 online log page to be the best source
of information on current operating activity for that particular satellite.
You can find it at:
http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/ao7log.php
The oscar.dcarr.org site is a great resource for learning about any number
of satellites and their current operations, but it's not as good as the AO-7
site, in my opinion, for information on AO-7.
It also contains some great historical information on the oldest amateur
satellite still in operation - with the largest available footprint for
amateur operations.
73 to all,
Tim
