Thanks to Jim, ND9M, and Patrick, WD9WEK, for taking the time and making the
effort to activate so many grid for satellite operators. Many of the grids
they've worked passes from are fairly rare.
Thank again guys, Safe travels!

Tim and all:
Same goes for me. During these economically challanging and uncertain times
it's nice to see people taking the time, money and effort to not only enjoy
their hobby but also make it enjoyable for others as well. Thanks again

Aloha All
Very late notice!!
BUT, I will give 51 a try on the next pass at
0159Z (AOS). Max el. here is 4 deg. and the footprint
should cover as far east as Colorado.
Will QRP it with Arrow and HT after traveling
to the easternly beach area of Oahu.
Hope to year you.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Tim, except I'd have typed "WD9EWK" :O)

Yes. I think the best chance for EM85 will be tomorrow night, or Sunday
morning. I can detour to 72 on the ride home Sunday afternoon. I'll send
a heads up to the list as soon as I know.

Hi!
Still sitting in DM21jw 45 miles/78km south of the city of Mexicali
and the USA/Mexico border, enjoying the afternoon here. I was
not able to get here in time for the 2025 UTC AO27 pass, which was worked
from a few miles/km north of here in DM22. I hope to hear NH7WN on the
next AO51 pass. I worked 1 AO27 pass, 2 SO50 passes, and - so far -
2 AO51 passes. Lots of QSOs, and many thanks to all on these passes.
It has been nice to work ND9M, and hear many work both of us this
afternoon. This has also been a demonstration for hams in the
Mexicali/Calexico area at the border. Larry KI6YAA, Kevin KJ6DDS,
and Alex XE2BSS/N2IX have been down here with me on route 5 on the
Laguna Salada - a mostly dry lakebed at sea level. KI6YAA now has
a 6-month Mexican ham permit, so maybe I can get a shot at working DM21
when I'm back home when he is on as XE2/KI6YAA. :-)
More to follow later. I will be on at the Yuma (Arizona) hamfest
tomorrow afternoon and Saturday with demonstrations. Hope
to hear you then.
73!

Hi Drew,
I was wondering if any process has done on getting the BBS back on V/U
again? I know the new control software cause some problems with the UHF
receiver but I figured it has been over 2 years now since that update.
Can you shed some light here??

No progress to speak of. It turns out to be a limitation in both
hardware and the operating system itself. With the other things going on
with AO-51 and the low usage of the BBS, frankly it is a low priority.

I see! As for low usage of the BBS, well, most of the folks that used GO-32
either don't have 1.2g or have not been able to get into the AO-51 BBS at
all
since the new configuration was put in place. I have been unable to use
AO-51 BBS with
a 70 watts brick on 1.2g, a directives system 23 cm RHCP 12 turn helix 14.5
dBic gain,
1/4 inch heliax coaxial cable after many days of trying. I can into AO-51
using voice with
no problem. I know the frequency is a little off and have tried adjusting
but no luck.
I just wonder if the BBS was in V/U mode how many more users would show up.
Can a schedule mode be requested for the BBS for V/U???
Oh well, as you said, it is a low priority.

V/U BBS was discontinued because it interfered with control of the
satellite, so no, we won't be scheduling it without the upgrade even if
requested. We have many L/U users on several continents, but it does
require a very good station. The equipment you describe should be
adequate...it's similar to what I use. The deviation and frequency is
very important to be successful. My uplink is about 3 khz high than
listed. Since you have an excellent L/U analog uplink, I'm confident the
devil is in the details with your digital setup.
We've had a lot of other challenges to keep AO-51 running and healthy
this year and last. I'm sorry if you don't agree with our priorities. I
was working on a more comprehensive explanation to the separate
identical email you sent this morning. You'll have to excuse me if I was
a little kurt in my answer after you pressed the question via -bb.

I appreciate the helpful hints. I will try it again once it comes back

Again, thanks for all your efforts in keeping AO-51 one of the leading

My hat off to you!! :-)
