Hi All,
I experience the same, great signal during the whole pass. One remark and
I don't no if others experience the same.
I use SatPC32 and during the begining of the pass I have to correct the
uplink freq for about 300hz and at the end it is 0hz again.
I am puzzled because FO-29 is the only one I experience this.
Somebody any idea?

Well, tried to work AO-51 tonight during my 2232utc pass, but was
unsuccessful. I did hear WO3T (FN00) during the pass and was the only
one I heard. Sounds like this mode (once you over come the transmit
problems) will be a great quiet mode to work. I didn't really think I'd
get into the bird with 10 watts and a discone antenna but thought I'd
try. Looks like its time to get a good 1.2ghz antenna and get it
installed when I get my arrays put back up.
Anyways, thought I'd let Carmen know he wasn't whistling in the wind and
that some one did hear him. Sounds good. Really need to get the uplink
antenna going here.

I hope to work them! If anyone hears them, or more information becomes
available, please post it here!
As a reminder, AMSAT has two Arrow antennas, and a TH-D7 available for
loan to any member going on a DXpedition, or grid trip. This is the same
gear used to activate K5D last year about this time. The D7 is
programmed with Alpha-Memory tags for the FM satellites and has both
rechargeable and AA battery packs, and is very simple to use. Contact me
if you have a need to use it.

I have a Kenpro 5400 (with the plug in the back of the box). Is anyone
using LVB Tracker with that unit?
It is going up right after some refurb and a thaw here.

Hello all. It is time again for the HVSG Net tonight at 8 PM EST on
Echolink at N2EYH-L or the Mt. Beacon ARC repeater 146.970 pl 100 on your
dial. We
have had four Amsat Area coordinators check in for the last two nets. I
think that's just fantastic. So we have a wealth of knowledge on the net to
answer any questions you may have. Please join us on the net tonight.

Good morning Drew. I was invited by Bud to cover the satellite com's on his
yearly Dx-Peditions he does every year just before Orlando hamfest time. As
I'm in the middle of building a new house that is getting seriously behind
schedule I won't be able to make the trip to the Orlando hamfest or join the
DX-Pedition this year. I made Bud aware that he could borrow whatever he
needs from me, and I also told him about the available AMSAT loaner
equipment.

ft736r
That depends on the bird.
Let's start with a simple FM example.
Assume you want to work ISS FM packet . Up on 145.990 FM, down on 145.800 FM.
Use the satellite TX/RX mode knob.
Set Stat VFO-A to RX on 145.800 FM
set Sat VFO-B to TX on 145.990 FM
Set your Meter to FM center tuning mode.
Push the button, "TX on B" button. This will cause you to Hear on Vfo-A and
TX on vfo-B.
When ISS comes in range Packet or voice, Look at your FM center tuning
meeting. When it sees a FM signal that is off frequency, the meter will
deviate away from the center. Turn the Sat knob to RX, and now tune the big
knob to center the down links signal. Tune your receiver frequency on vfo-A
to center the needle. For ISS you can leave your TX on the published uplink
for that mode, the Doppler is small and not much need to compensate for
Doppler.
The FM center tuning meter also works for all other FM birds.
Transponder FM Birds:
If you are working an FM transponder bird, the process is a little different.
Tune the Down link the same way as ISS. Keep the needle centered.
On the Uplink side, select the vfo you are using for uplink with the Sat
knob TX.
Pre set your uplink frequency and compensate to Doppler.
If uplink is on 2 meters, set the frequency to be 2-3 K below the published
Uplink frequency for starters.
If uplink is on 440, set the frequency to be 5-8 k below the published
uplink frequency.
(check your tracking program for the correct Doppler for that pass)
When the bird comes in Range, listen first. Fine tune your down link by
setting Sat knob to RX and tune for center meter. Now turn the sat knob to
TX and call. If you hear your downlink on the FM bird, slowly adjust your
TX uplink for best audio. do not talk too loud, you may over drive the fm
birds.
Transponder SSB Birds:
LEO SSB satellites are the hardest satellites to work because the Doppler is
changing very fast at two different rates on two different bands at the same
time. Do not try LEO SSB satellites until you have mastered FM satellites.
Do your homework and find the published transponder range. Choose a matched
uplink/down link set of frequencies. Enter these 2 bands into the TX/RX
VFO's (without Doppler correction at first). Check your satellite program
and find the Doppler for each band, for the beginning of your upcoming
selected pass.
let's assume Mode B, 440 up, 2-meters down.
at the beginning of the pass the 2-meter Doppler will be plus 2-3k.
at the beginning of the pass the 440 Doppler will be minus 6-10k (check your
tracking program)
Now that you have your two Doppler numbers add/subtract those from your
tX/rx VFO's and you will be in the ball park for the beginning of the pass.
The center tuning meter will not work in SSB.
for Inverted Transponders' set the Sat knob to Reverse
for Normal transponder, set the Sat knob to normal.
Now when you turn the knob, the two frequencies will follow each other.
now it gets harder.
When the bird comes in Range, listen first.
Find someone else that is calling CQ.
Tune to get best audio (sat knob must be in Reverse for V0-52)
once you have a good audio signal, then tune ONLY your TX, NOT the RX.
Turn the sat knob to RX and then call and tune at the same time. While you
are talking, you are listening to your voice and tuning your voice to match
the Receiver frequency. do not tune the receiver while you are transmitting.
Only tune your receiver while you are listening.
With VO-52, it moves so fast, you will need to tune for every other word
that you speak.
When you are done talking. Set the Sat knob back to Reverse.
When the other station starts talking, retune the locked VFO's to match his
down link. On leo SSB satellites this process will repeat for every TX / RX
session.
good luck wf1f

Hi All,
This is the first call for speakers for the AMSAT-UK Colloquium 2010
which will be held at the Holiday Inn, Guildford, UK
(same venue as in 2009) on *Sat 31st Jul and Sun 1st Aug 2010*
AMSAT-UK invite speakers, about amateur radio, space and associated
activities, for this event. They are also invited to
submit papers for the "Proceedings" document which will be published at
the same time but printed papers are not mandatory.
We normally prefer authors to present talks themselves rather than
having someone else give them in the authors' absence.
We also welcome "unpresented" papers for the Proceedings document.
Offers of talks should be submitted as soon as possible; the final date
for full documents to be received is late-June 2010 in
order that the "Proceedings" document be available to participants.
Submissions should be sent *ONLY* to G4DPZ, via the following routes:
e-mail: david.johnson AT blackpepper.co.uk
SnailMail: QTHR from www.QRZ.com
AMSAT-UK also invite anyone with requests for Program Topics to submit
them as soon as possible to G4DPZ. Invitations
for any papers on specific subjects will be included in the future call.
Likewise if anyone knows of a good speaker, please
send contact and other information to G4DPZ.
