Worked the "three Ps" last night on AO-51 - Palm Springs, Palo Alto, and
Portland!
About twenty folks showed up for the 5:37PM PST pass of AO-51 - although the
real meeting and presentation didn't start until 7PM. My thanks to the
Desert RATS club for packin' the house last night - we had a great time!
The old and the new: This Friday my "Work-Sat.com" show goes to the Los
Angeles Maritime Museum and the K6AA club. They started up in 1925! Then to
Cal Poly Pomona club on Monday the 22nd, which is just being resurrected on
campus.

SatPC32 has a special program for the Sun and Moon. It's called SuM.
You can find it under the Start/Programs button, with the SatPC32 programs.
Wayne replies:
The separate SuM program controls rotors and displays the moon's az/el,
but it doesn't display the moon's visibility footprint on a world map.
I can see how EME operators would want Moon Keps in the main SatPC32
program in order to see the moon's visibility footprint.

Hi,
I have tried to follow your instructions and am unsuccessful.
I can get into satellite, group, but there is now Planets.
What am not doing correctly?

We spent the last several days camping in DL88 at Big Bend National Park,
about a mile from the Rio Grande River. The riverside campsite we'd been
assured three times was ours for the taking turned out to have been
destroyed by flooding in 2008; so much for keeping current.
But at least our backup campsite was 2000-plus feet inside the line. Six
passes were worked from the campsite, another one from the river's edge
itself (couldn't resist the photo op!), and three more from the DL88/DL89
line.
The only downside to the stay was the last pass on Tuesday (AO51, 16/2355Z)
when the FT817ND that I use for RX failed to fire up. After basic
troubleshooting and with the bird only five minutes from making its
appearance, I broke out the back up 817 that had never been used before and
configured it for use just in time.
By the way, if my XYL, Cori, hadn't earned her driving stripes after several
thousand miles leading up to arriving at Big Bend, she certainly did on the
way to the campsite after dealing with what turned out to be a very
notorious "Black Gap" roadway. It wasn't until we returned to the park's
registration office as we left the park this afternoon that we were told
that travelling on that particular roadway was not advisable! Our muffler
looks like someone took a baseball bat to it, but at least it's still intact.
Tomorrow (18 Feb), we'll backtrack to DL79 for the AO27 which rises at
2018Z. We may stick around for the next AO27 pass at 18/2200Z, but we're not
sure about that one. In any case, we'll shoot for operating from DM80 on
both So50 (18/2128Z and AO51 (18/2238Z and 19/0016Z).
On Friday, we'll start heading southeast along the river toward Brownsville.

Hello Paul & fellow AO-7 friends
I will be improving my capability to reach out to some European dx.? I am
adding a preamp on 2M and finally making my CP switching actually work.? I
have heard 2E1EUB, RN1NW, UA1OEJ, a SM3???, and a very few others.? So far
my only contact is with Mika-OH8MBN.? I would like to increase my satellite
array to 40-50 feet.? However that is approaching divorce height.? My goal
is to connect with Eric-PA1TNO in JO22Li, that distance will be 7837km.? I
must remember, "if this were easy, everyone would be doing it".? I am
considering taking some equipment and go to a local mountain top! (much
cheaper than a divorce lawyer).

Don't specifically know for SatPC32, but Pseudo keps for the moon
that seem to work in any tracking program are available on LogSat's web site.
http://www.logsat.com/lsp.asp
Right at the bottom of the page. I use LogSat 5.2 for tracking, its a

Hi folks
How about an acceptable use policy for the satellite users.
There are a small number of frequent users that have a disproportionate
use of the satellites. How do you expect to grow the organization if
new people cant even get into the satellites. I'm a rare user now
because of this. I can barely get into them with 50 watts.
On another note, I report very good results using a thirty dollar
ground plane scanner antenna from radio shack as a uhf recieving
antenna connected to 15 feet of 9913 cable and using an arr uhf preamp.
I have workable reception of even so-50 close to the horizon.
Take care, pat

I'll be headed to Knoxville tomorrow morning, and back on Sunday. None
of the grids between EL88 and EM75 are particularly rare, but if you
need something along the I75 corridor, let me know by email tonight.
I'll also have email while on the road. I could probably justify coming
home down the west side of Georgia through the EM7x grids if lots of
folks need something in there.

Tom,
The FM birds are nothing but a circus and operators on them love the circus
atmosphere. My solution is to stick to the linear birds where the QSO's are
longer and the operators friendly. If you need Montana, I'm on all the
linear birds almost every evening from about 0000z to 0500z. FO-29 has
been super to operate since it's come back up and it's even working in
eclipse.

AMSAT members receive a little discount on SatPC32 - that's on the AMSAT

As you cruise the Web viewing satellite-related sites, what one feature /

If you could make sure that ONE THING was on a site touting the virtues of
AMSAT and how easy it is to work the FM birds, what would it be?

I am sorry that you are experiencing that phenomenon in your area.
I am out in Southern California - where there are more operators during West
Coast passes than possibly any other region of the U.S. I am not bragging,
but just pointing out that the possibility for "abuse" is probably greater
when more operators are working. But even on Field Day .. and JOTA ... and
the weekend passes - I can darned near always "show off" low power sat ops
to others during demos and presentations on '51, '27, and '50 ...
Hopefully, it is just a short-lived problem for you.
