Hi Bob, W7LRD
Your switching box is the KLM model CS2 suitable for 70 cm crossed yagi
model 435-18CX or 435-40CX and it is enclosed into a completely sealed
aluminum box so that a weep hole in the bottom is recommended to prevent
umidity condensation inside of it.
I have removed the above CS2 switching box for only RHCP and LHCP on my
435-40CX crossed yagi and I have designed and built e four polarizations
switcher for V-H-RHCP and LHCP as described by my articles into the AMSAT
Journal March/April 2007 and May/June 2007
If you cannot get the above AMSAT-Journals please let me know and I will
send to you a copy via Stan W1LI because your provider @xxxxxxx.xxx rejects
all emails coming from my provider @xxx.xx

Hi Domenico
Thanks for your pictures. Attached are some pictures of my switch box. I
am not sure what the brand of this antenna is. It has been recommended that
I have a weep hole in the bottom. What do you think? There is sealing
material called 3M5200 a marine sealant, very nasty but almost permanent and
very wx resistant.

Hi Jan, PE0SAT
Probably there where no other amateurs active because VO-52 was in range at
the same time and when I tryed at the end of his pass to switch from VO-52
into FO-29 it was about at LOS.........too late for me !
By the way the beacon seems to be nominal particularly when you switched ON
the narrow CW filter and also your SSB signal considering that only one user
was in the passband was very good and readable.
See you on FO-29 the next opportunity

not takers on my first inquiry.? I even sent a note to Icom, they may get
back to me someday.? I know there are some 910 smarties out there.
Hello
I am trying to set up my 910/sequencer/amp.? Checking things out before hard
wiring everything I discovered when grounding pin 3 of the acc socket the
radio does go to xmit, and will do cw, ?however to send ssb the ptt on the
mic has to be pushed.? At times I use a Heil head set that has no PTT and I
simply push the xmit on the radio.? Do I have to pick off the PTT at the mic
connector???I am probably overlooking something obvious.? What do you 910
experts have to say.
As always, thankyou

I have for sale a Yaesu FT530 dualband (2m/70cm) HT in good condition, that
operates just fine. This HT will do dual receive, crossband repeat, and
full duplex, which makes it great for satellite operation. It comes with the
antenna, the AA battery case (no charger included), and a copy of the
manual. It also has a spare memory battery drawer included. Asking $135
plus shipping, and can take paypal/check/MO. Read the great reviews of this
HT on ebay.

Hey everyone,
At 0204 UTC on 23 January, KL7XJ and I had a quick contact on HO-68 in FM.
At the time, the satellite was below 4.5 degrees and descending for me. I'm
thrilled to put state No. 49 in the log with my handheld station - a Yaesu
VX-7R and Elk dual-band log periodic. I never expected to get more than the
lower 48 in my satellite log with the HT, so this is a very pleasant
surprise. My thanks to AMSAT-China for HO-68, and to Dale for being there
when it counted.

Thanks Rick! I don't have the industrial strength orbit stretcher here, so I
won't be able to stretch HO-68 to Hawaii from here ... hihi.
It'll have to be Grand Old AO-7, and I remain hopeful that will happen
sometime.
Thanks again.

Hey Tim,
Well Done, an inspiration to those who are not believers that it is possible
to work 49 States from our latitude with a portable QRP station, its the

My XYL and I are heading toward Denver and will be putting out a lot of grid
squares over the FM sats during the next several weeks.
Our general route will initially be along the 35N latitude line to 104W.
Once we hit 104W, we'll turn north and put out all grids on both side of
that line into western Nebraska, then head for Cheyenne (DN71) and Denver
(DN70). (We might keep going north along the same line into South Dakota,
but that depends on available time.)
All grids on each side of the line will be activated; grid lines will be hit
for "double credit" as much as they're accessible.
During today's driving leg, we'll be on from EM44 and EM45 followed by EM34
and EM35. Tomorrow, we expect to be on from EM24 and EM25, then EM14 and EM24.
If you have any queries, drop me an e-mail or call me at 850.960.8566.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Recently I found some old audio cassettes on which I had recorded some
of the sounds I heard from the satellites back in the eighties.
Rather than discarding the tapes I decided to digitize them and make
them available to interested persons.
I have got sound bites from:
- RS-5
- RS-7
- Oscar 9
- Oscar 10
- Oscar 11
I also found recordings from my attempts to contact Owen Garriot, W5LFL,
during his pioneering trip on STS-9 in Nov/Dec 1983. I made three
attempts but only one of them has a few minutes with the voice of W5LFL,
so that is the only one on my site.
The audio clips are here:
http://www.fern.dk/?Satellite_Sounds
If anybody has - or can detect - further information I will be more than
happy to add it to the data presented on my web site.
BTW is there a commonly accepted repository for things like what I have
made? If so I'll be glad to place them in that repository as well.
