FYI my browser (Firefox) warned me that link was 'untrusted'. Simply by
removing the 's' in https, fixed that issue.
I'm expecting an AG-25 tomorrow, so if anyone has a need, I'll open it up
and take some hi-resolution pictures of it.
I'm still also looking for similar information for a Mirage KP-2 440 preamp.

CAUTION: I get REALLY WORDY in this post. If you reply, PLEASE edit/trim so
that my ears won't turn red from people being mad at me for re-re-re-reading
such a long post. Thank you. -Clint Bradford
You run into the most pleasant people here and in the field speadin' the
AMSAT gospel. I have had three fellow AMSATters contact me in the past week,
asking for a copy of the presentation I give on working the sats with
handheld radios.
My immediate response is that I am humbled that someone would want a copy.
But I drafted what follows and passes it along as a reply. And it has opened
up great private conversations with fellow educators.
>> If you were and wouldn't mind, I'd be interested in having it available
for my presentation as good ones are hard to find.
And mine is an excellent presentation (grin) ... Never have I given the
exact same slideshow to a club ... I am honored that you would want a copy.
I was where you are now about five years ago - looking for someone else's
presentation. But I found it much more effective to make my own,
personalized-to-the-club-I'm-speaking-to presentation for each club. Let me
explain.
I open up with a title page, then a screenshot of their local newspaper. I
have "edited" the newspaper to announce, "Amateur Radio satellite
demonstration at XYZ Club tomorrow night!" - with a photo ... it gets the
audience IMMEDIATELY drawn to what is going to occur next ...
THEN I show THEIR LOGO (from their Web site), and announce on a slide, "It's
XYZ Club Trivia Time!" And I have two or three trivia questions regarding
THEIR club's history ... How many Google hits for your club name? (That show
how effective they are using the Internet). And, "When did you become an
ARRL affiliate member club?" That gives me an opportunity to plug the ARRL
and benefits of ARRL membership ...
OK - that's the first ten slides.
Then I briefly remind them of the SuitSat project - and what a marvelous
public relations project that was for amateur radio. I ask them to keep that
project in mind, as we now watch a video of the United States launching a
cruiser-based missle and successfully destroying that U.S. satellite last
year whose orbit was decaying. Why do i show that? Because I tell the
audience: "When then-vice-president Dick Cheney heard about how expensive it
was going to be to blow up that satellite, he came up with his own plan ... "
And the next slide has a magazine-cover-quality photo of Cheney firing a
shotgun - with the title, "Shoot Sat." NEVER FAILS to get the audience
warmed up and laughing! (Totally "apolitical." You don't have to belong to
any political party to be amused by Cheney's firearms antics.)
I then give my brief bio info ... show a couple magazine articles that
covered me ... my AMSAT display booth all set up and pretty ...
And that takes us to slide 25 ...
Do you see where this is going? The more your presentation reflects YOU -
and involves THEM - the more effective it will be.
The next slides demolish the common "preconceptions" regarding working the
sats (You need a minimum of 100W, expensive rotator, multiple Yagis ...
NOPE!!! Expensive radios ... NOPE!!! Tell 'em that most hams already own the
necessary equipment ... )
Then I show the AMSAT logo. And amsat.org as our Web site. A slide shows
very brief history of AMSAT. Another bullets the five major benefits of
AMSAT membership. Advise 'em that you can painlessly contribute to AMSAT by
including them in your estate - a painless way to support!
NEVER does a slide contain more than just a couple words. Put complete
sentences on a slide, and you have lost your audience: They will be reading
when you want them to listen. Slides are NOT a speaker's script! For
example, my first AMSAT slide looks like this:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
AMSAT logo
- 1969, nonprofit
- Mission
- International
- Contributions
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Those five words evoke their own statements ...
"We were founded back East in 1969 as a nonprofit educational organization
... "
"Our mission is to disseminate information about - and build - amateur radio
satellites ... "
"AMSAT is international in scope with darned near fifty affiliates and clubs
across the planet ... "
"Contributions have their tax advantages for you - and AMSAT can be placed
in your will - ask your CPA for details ... "
Before they get bored, the next slide - my Number 37 - is another trivia
question: just the word, "OSCAR" is on the screen. "OSCAR is an acronym -
who knows what it stands for?"
And I give out PRIZES, too! Trivia question answerers get a local repeater
guide ... or a Firestone tire pressure gauge ... or a keychain flashlight -
stuff that your local merchants give away as freebies. AUDIENCES LOVE THIS
STUFF - and it gets them involved in what you are talking about!
A very brief history of amateur satellites is Slide 43.
The GLOSSARY is next. Just briefly define the few terms that they'll come
across in the sat worls (orbit, Doppler, LEO, HEO, GEO, Uplink, Downlink,
Footprint).
Then I do an homage to George Carlin bit. Remember Carlin's comparison of
"the wonderful, pastoral game of baseball VERSUS the militaristic,
aggressive game of football?" Well, I show a slide, "Why use amateur
satellites?"
Then, "Traditional HF versus Ham Satellites." And I go through these
comparisons, a la George Carlin ...
Then comes Slide 72, a photo of AO-51. And the Chuck Greene photo in the
clean room with AO-51. And photos showing our position on the launch
vehicle. And discussion of AO-51's capabilities. Show the other
easily-worked FM birds. Show a data screen from a control op for the geeky
folks in the crowd.
Slide 86 starts showing the "Minimum Requirements" equipment-wise: an HT
that can do split freqs - my favorite intro HT is the Yaesu FT-60R ...
"Receives 108-to-a-gig, bulletproof case design, strongest belt clip of ANY
amateur radio chassis on the market, large display, easy to program, and a
GREAT battery situation - when using the optional FBA-25 AA alkaline/NMH
case, you have FULL TX POWER available to you! Try that on, say, a Kenwood
TH-F6a, and you only hand one-half of a Watt TX power ... all this for about
$200 bucks ... "
Back to basics - an HT that can do split freqs, a "better" antenna, and
either Internet printout of a pass, or a Palm PDA with PocketSat+.
Slide 92 shows three antenna improvements for HTs ...
-the $50 Diamond SRH-320A
-the performance-equal-to-the-SHR-320A Smiley 270A - at a measley $19.95
-the BNC-only AL-800 massive beast
One slide compares the should-be-taken-off-the-market Yaesu CN-3 BNC-to-SMA
adapter with the adapters made by Stephen Gulyas. One of them protects your
radio's SMA connector center pin from being stresses on its circuit board -
the other is a $100 repair job waiting to happen ...
One slide shows the concept of "getting perpendicular" to the sats ... I
throw in a couple graphs showing that - for HT antennas and what we are
doing - that longer is better ...
I then tell/show what commercial sat tracking programs are available ...
PocketSat+ for Palm / iPhone / iPod touch. I even have a screenshot of
PocketSat on my new Apple iPad (g). Nova for Windows, MacDopplerPRO for
Mac). Briefly explain Keplerian elements.
There are others for the different platforms - look for ones that are
currently supported ...
Explain heavens-above.com and AMSAT.org's tracking systems.
If we worked a pass - or will be after the presentation, I take screen shots
of the AMSAT tracking data, reminding them to ADJUST FOR GMT !!! Make sure
they know there's both COMMERCIAL sat trackers, but also COMPLETELY FREE
pass info on the 'Net! Audiences are shown how to "decode" that screenful of
numbers that the AMSAT sat tracking page spits out.
Then tell 'em the general procedures for working the sats. Yes, it is
preferable to work TRUE FULL-DUPLEX, but not absolutely mandatory.
Another trivia question: What grid square are we in??? Hand out another prize.
I show my programming matrix for AO-51 (in my .pdf handout on my Web site!)
Explain Doppler again. Make sure that if they see a programming guide WITH a
CTCSS for AO-51, that its old info.
Then I show 'em the programming guide for SO-50, and point out the 74.4
there in the middle ... YOU get to be CONTROL OPERATOR if the bird's not up
when you KNOW if should be there ...
Then Q&A time - which is usually the best time of all.
SO ... I am looking at last night's presentation and its 150+ slides ...
many are that-club-specific, and I change those for each presentation. But
the most important thing you can do is to make the group know you enjoy this
aspect of ham radio, and maintain great eye contact throughout the
presentation. Let 'em interrupt with a question. If you see anyone writing
down any notes, stop yourself and state, "Wow - I am glad you're taking
notes. But I have a handout for all of you at the end of the presentation
with ALL this information for you! So just sit back and relax!" And I offer
'em my 4-page handout (also on my Web site) that I just had Staples make 50
copies of before the meeting ... You are welcome to use it as a handout ...
I use to print it out so that it made a single sheet of paper 4-page
booklet. But the type gets too small for my older eyes - so I just print it
up two pages, back-to-back.

>> ... What is this "100 mile" limit that you speak of?
Nothing written anywhere, Patrick. Heck, I'm driving to PACIFICON later this
year to give my show, and that's 400 miles each way. And San Diego this Fall
is more than 100 miles each way.
Actually, my accountant put that number in my head. When she realized that I
was leaving the house at 3 or 3:30 to beat traffic for an engagement, and
getting home 'bout 11pm or so, she asked me to think of a "100 mile" number.
I didn't understand what she was trying to get at. But she treats me well,
and helps me with all this stuff come tax time.

Aloha All
If my software is correct I see a 1.0 degree
max. el. pass of AO51 at 0146Z this afternoon.
That should provide nice coverage of the western
portion of the US for me. I've had either fantastic
results or no results whatsoever on these ultra
low passes. No QSOs if I dont try tho! So,
I will pack up my gear and try to be at the
beach in time for the pass. If you do not have
BL11 yet you might give me a call. Mahalo
and 73.

Hi George, KA3HSW
The 3SK121Y is a Dual Gate MOS-FET in package SOT 143R
and it can be directly replaced by the very inexpencive BF998R
with same package
See the cross reference here:
http://www.go-ic.cn/admin/newspic/20061127185602infineon.pdf
The Noise Figure of the BF998R is 1 dB at 800 MHz
See the data sheet here:
http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/BF998.pdf
I hope this helps.

On the 9pm edt pass tonight of HO68 I heard voice so I assumed this was a
voice pass and called a few times...hope we didn't trample too many packet
stations! Thanks to the unidentified station that notified us of the
schedule on the air. Guess I best check the schedule myself rather than rely
on other users! Again, my apologies!

http works, now.
I found the replacement part number somewhere in the AMSAT archives
after I blew up my preamp. ;) I bought the 3SK183 from
http://www.xs4all.nl/~barendh/Indexeng.htm. (Look under FETs on the
right hand frame of his web site. You have to scroll down.)

Could anyone give me some advice on using a setup consisting of the smaller
antennas such as K5OE Eggbeaters, dual-crossed MOXON's from ARRL site.
I am starting to build the dual-crossed MOXON setup as I am running into
some snags getting my planned bigger antenna setup installed as well as I
was hoping to use the smaller antenna setup for a Field Day setup but don't
want to wait till that day to use them and look like a fool!!!!
Would even consider the quadrifilliar antennas if I could find the plans for
both bands?

Jacob,
If you're a member of the ARRL, do a search for QHTenna on their
webpage. It's a simple turnstile antenna. I have a pair and they're
easily built. Also, the K5OE page is archived in many places. You can
do a search for "Texas Potato Masher" and see what you get. I'm going
to try and build a pair of those (TPM2's) soon.
Good luck.

hi, I use a simple 30 dollar radio shack vertical scanner antenna on short
15 feet of 9913 cable and an arr preamp for uhf recieve and a regular
low gain vhf vertical for transmit. These work quite well on the fm
satellites where I start getting workable receive when the satellite is 10
to 20 degrees above the horizon and higher. Both antennas are connected to a
duplexer and then to my ft8800r dual band fm rig.

Hi Angelo, N5UXT
Keps was near Milano about 800 km away from me in Napoli.
They were interested to sell downconverters when AO40 was alive
and well.
Nobody is actually able to communicate with Keps nor by phone
or email so that I "believe" that they are anymore in business !
If I have more detailed informations I will write to you.

Hi All,
1) We are now working on the K4T logs so that the QSL Manager K5WW can
handle the requests. Visit http://www.k5ww.com/ and use the QSL
manager tab to request your QSL cards! 1
2) Can somebody point me to the "definitive source" that shows what
fields/information that MUST be on the card in order to help you all
with the various awards you are working on? There seems to be
tremedous variablity on the satellite QSL cards I've seen over the
years, especially regarding frequency, mode, etc. We want to get it
"right" so links to the "perfect satellite QSL" will be appreciated.
3) Finally--the organizer Mike AC2V invested thousands of his own
dollars into the K4T trip. Be aware that donations of any amount are
appreciated and will be used to offset expenses in any way you see
fit. Specific information is here:

Thanks and 73,

All,
On 20/3/2010 starting with AO27 at 1930Z I hope to be portable in
DN55, and two grids at once in DN46, DN56. I will be operating AO27 and
AO51.
In the next couple of weeks I hope to be operating in DN43 and DN44.

Hello All,
If you need an eQSL for my portable operations in Key West Florday on
10 March 2010 (the day before the K4T event) look for my call of
N8MH/EL94 That seemed intuitive :)
