I certainly appreciate all the replies and the encouragement.
If any of you with a G-5400 controller would check something out, I'd
appreciate it. When I move up or right, there is a momentary deflection
in the opposite direction. Then, when I release the button, it jumps
ahead a bit by just a few degrees. If I move down or left, there is no
immediate deflection, but when I release the button, it deflects in the
opposite direction. I just don't remember mine acting that way before
the strike.
Thanks,
Joel, W4JBB

Hi Joel, W4JBB
Trouble-shooting for your G-5400
I suggest you to momentarily disconnect the wires A1-A2-A3 going from
the rear of the control box up to the rotator.
Connect temporarely for test a 500 ohm wire wound potentiometer to
terminals A1-A2-A3 of the control box taking into account that A2 is the
wiper of the potentiometer.
Power supply the control box and rotate very slowly by hand the shaft of
the potentiometer.
If the pointer of the azimut instrument follows accordingly your rotation
by hand than there is no damage into the control box.
Repeate the same procedure for the wires E1-E2-E3 to test the elevation
remembering that E2 is the wiper of the potentiometer.
If the pointer of the elevation instrument follows accordingly your by hand
rotation of the potentiometer then there is no damage into the control box.
If the deflection of the instruments is still like you describes probably
the integrated circuits C3 and C4 into the control box where damaged by
the strike.
Reconnect the original wires between the rotator and the control box and
using a high impedance DC voltmeter measure the voltage between A2-A3
and E2-E3
While rotating the antennas left and righ and up and down observe if the
voltage follows smootly the above rotation.
If the voltage jumps there is probably a damage into the potentiometer
wipers inside the rotator
Check if the voltage between A1- A3 and between E1-E3 is about 6 volts.
The voltage must remain constant at about 6 volts rotating the antennas
othervise the voltage regulator Q2 was damaged by the strike.
Using the above trouble-shooting you can establish if the problem is located
into the rotator or into the controlbox or along the wires connecting both.
Have fun !

This seems almost too good to be true. Keep in mind that I'm
not an engineer. Maybe this technology could be used for future amateur
satellites, wider bandwidth, more gain, less space, etc.

Hello All,
Just heard AO-7's 70cm CW beacon sending valid telemetry (2010/03/14
07:25 UTC). Entering the data below into the spreadsheet gives a beacon
power output of 338mW. All else seems nominal.

Talked with Mark this morning. According to him, they have over 300
satellite QSOs, though not unique calls. He was delighted that some are
trying for a clean sweep on all satellites. As previously announced, they
are going to start breaking things down early Monday morning.

There is a page on my webserver that has audio recordings
of K4T over the last 3 days. The one from the 14March2010,
1030z, is quite informative. Mark talks about the operation
and states they have made over 300 satellite contacts! They
have now been on every satellite and worked FM, SSB and CW.
The next addition to the website will be the Grid Square Plots
talked about in an earlier post. If you have a map that you would
like to have on the website, please email it to me.

Dear friends,
See the article by Steven Best in the June 2003
IEEE Antennas and Propagation magazine. His
analysis shows that they do not work any better than
any other small antenna. I attended a presentation on
his findings at an IEEE antennas society meeting and he
makes a very persuasive case.
There are those who argue that his analysis is not perfectly
fair (i.e. those trying to SELL these antennas) but I
have yet to see any technical analysis that shows otherwise.

Hi all,
It's hard to believe that the Dayton Hamfest is only 2 months away.May
14-16. I was checking out their website and noticed that the AMSAT forum
will be on Saturday May 15th from 11:30 to 1:30. Other forums of interest
are the APRS forum on Friday the 14th at 11:30 AM, and the BalloonSat forum
on Friday at 12:15 PM. There may possibly be a balloon launch on Friday as

Alan and All,
I am confused (very common for me :-) ) I will be heading out this
week for some fairly rare grids and am curious as to how I should operate.
I am clear that linear transponder means SSB/CW operation.
Does digital transponder mean operate packet/computer or FM voice?
Looking at the schedule below does that mean the digital is on all
the time and the linear will turn on / off at the listed times? or something
different?
For example:
15 Mar. 2010, Digital Transponder (on? Or off? -- Voice? or Packet?)
================================
01:25...Turn On--Linear Transponder (very clear Linear On, but digital off?)
South America,NA,North Asia
02:10...Turn Off ( Linear off, but digital on? Or off? )
02:21...Turn On (Linear? Digital both? - voice? Packet?)
North Asia,East Asia,South Asia
02:36...Turn Off
Thanks for the help! and the Great new bird! 73,
Joe kk0sd

Hello all,
I got a lot of responses about problem of digital mode
through HO-68. The main problem is that Packet communication
is often interrupted by voice. We are trying a new schedule
in this week, voice and packet operations will be separated
by the schedule, of course, this just depends on the hams'own
discipline. If you have any comment and suggestion, please
let me know.

Joe and all,
for my understanding digital transponder means FM transponder only for
packet mode.
Alan will announce a better schedule next week.
So as far as I know only 2 modes for the next week: Lineartransponder and FM
transponder for packet (no voice).
