Be sure your TNC-3S is setup for full Duplex, otherwise as long as WiSP
hears a data carrier from the satellite it will not assert PTT. Also,
in the Satellite Setup, TNC Settings Tab, be sure that "Test for Smack
TNC" is not checked. There is a bug in this test and it was never
implemented. What switch settings do you have set on the rear of your
TNC-3S?

Hello Alan WA4SCA and John K8YSE,
Thank you both for the SO-50 contacts at the Raleigh Hamfest (RARSFest)! I
appreciate your sharp ears and return calls. It made the demo successful.
The location wasn't great (tall metal buildings!) but the biggest problem
was a setting on my radio that I FINALLY figured out.
Somehow, some way at Dry Tortugas the 2M uplink on my FT-817 had been
changed from the rear SO-239 (which I use with the Elk) to the front BNC
connector...it explains why I had no success on the boat ride from the
island to Key West and why I couldn't work anybody during my first pass
attempt on AO-27 today. Glad to figure that bugger out! I had the 435 band
going to the right connector, but since the 2M band was "hidden" because of
split memory channels it took me a while to figure it out. I was
transmitting into a BNC connector without any antenna--hi hi.
The hamfest was well attended with many out of town hams in the area because
of the Easter weekend. The weather was great (warm), and the RARS club is
always a great host. They donate the booth (with power) and take good care
of us. Thanks go to Chuck K4HF and RARS!
73,
Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]

To: AMSAT-BB@xxxxx.xxx
Message-ID: <935577.93006.qm@xxxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
At 0331 UTC on April 3, AA5UK/KH6 and I made a quick CW contact on FO-29 ?
from his vacation location in BL02ic and my home in EM84ha. According to the
Tiny Locator program from ON6MU
(http://users.belgacom.net/hamradio/tinylocator.htm), our contact covered
7,399 kilometers/4,621 miles.
?
Adrian?s commitment to activate Hawaii ? during a vacation trip with his
significant other ? enabled me to put state No. 50 in the satellite log. He
did the same for several others ? among them Rick, WA4NVM; George, WA5KBH;
Alex, KC7MG; Damon, WA4HFN; Matthew, KC7EQO; and Dave, KN4OK. I believe I
speak for all of them when I offer my sincere thanks to Adrian for what I
suspect he found was a fun ? but, ultimately, Herculean ? effort.
?
Thanks, too, to Domenico, I8CVS, for his April 2 post to the AMSAT-BB about
FO-29 currently being at or very near apogee during passes from north to
south. That prompted me to look into whether we might have a chance on this
satellite. During the contact, Adrian had about 2 degrees elevation with the
satellite rising at his location; I had 1 degree with the satellite
descending here in northeast Georgia. We worked the contact like one in a DX
pileup on HF ? brief and to the point!
?
We tried unsuccessfully on AO-7 during three different Mode B days. The
elevations were roughly the same as what we had on FO-29. However, FO-29?s
Mode J configuration enabled each of us to use higher power on the 2 meter
uplink than we could on AO-7?s Mode B uplink, on 70 centimeters. I suspect
that made the difference.
?
Our stations were identical, and included Yaesu FT-857D radios for transmit;
Yaesu FT-817ND radios for receive; and the Elk 2M/440L5 log periodic
antenna. All four radios were battery-powered.
?
Thanks again to Adrian for making the significant time and effort to
activate Hawaii as much as he has on this trip. Thanks to Dale (KL7XJ),
Craig (KL4E) and Joe (AL1F) for activating Alaska so often on FM and linear
satellites. Thanks to all of the satellite operators in most of the lower 48
who make their states available so often. And thanks to the rovers who have
activated lower-48 states that have proved tough (Delaware immediately comes
to mind), and for so many rare grid squares. In particular, many of us owe
significant debts of gratitude to Patrick, WD9EWK; John, K8YSE; and Jim,
ND9M. Finally, thanks to everyone else who takes the time and makes the
effort to activate so many places.
?
73,

Congratulations!
I know you had been working on getting Adrian in your log for
some time, and Adrian's receive issues on AO-7 initially didn't
help your cause. It may not be a "world record" for distance
covered, but you two certainly stretched that footprint for all
you could.

It's great to see those calls, most of them being east of the
Rockies and generally unable to work Hawaii on the FM birds.
I know a few of the XE satellite operators also put AA5UK/KH6
in their logs. Alvaro XE2AT had already worked Hawaii in the
past, but was looking for Adrian's grid on Kauai. I think Omar
XE1AO and Bernardo XE2HWB also worked Adrian out there.
These two may still need other states for satellite WAS, but
at least they can focus on the other states using other birds.
There may be other XEs that I'm not aware of, but I know
Adrian chatted with several of them via e-mail trying to make
those QSOs happen.

Yes, Adrian has tried to be on a lot of passes for the benefit
of satellite operators. He had been working on this trip for
months, and changing his plans so he would have more time
on the satellites and still enjoy the non-radio parts of the trip
(i.e., no HF activity, something he had planned to do out
there originally). I hope Adrian takes time to elaborate on the
trip here on the -BB or in an article for the AMSAT Journal,
as that would be an interesting read.
73!

I myself have found the solution :))
Both the microHam III and WISP had PTT enabled within the configuration.
After removed the setting from the urouter (microHam Software) WISP
was able to transmit.
Now lets try to send some messages via HO-68

S band DATV
Better to be prepared than sorry!
Did anyone have an idea how to feed a DATV signal coming from the actual S
band former TV converter eg: Transystem AIDC 3731A? They where
made for analog TV i think and i don't know if they will be usable for DATV?
As the output is made for 75 Ohms regular cable TV set
connector i think any signal can be received on a standard TV set but with
the modified IF output in the ham band or in the 123MHZ range it
fall into the regular TV set bandpass on 54 to 890 MHz. As per the specs it
seems the AIDC 3731A is "digital ready" But is this digital is
in the same protocole than the already existing commercial digital
protocole? On a French site they refer to a signal bandwidth of 48KHZ
that is too wide for any amateur radio standard rig but OK for a TV receiver
but on other site they speak of 6MHZ!. Some search refer to
the MPEG2 protocole it is supported on various FTA receiver but QPSK in
various flavor DVB-B DVB-C DVB-S is the mode reported on many site
in Europe but they confirm the QPSK DVB-S can be received with standard
commercial digital receiver but not with the GMSK protocole (see
below for the links and info's)
TranSystem Inc., a world wide leader in MMDS/MDS technology, offers a
complete line of PCS, WCS and radar filtering downconverters. Our
designs have been copeid by many, but the original out performs the rest.
The digital ready AIDC easily integrates with parabolic antennas
or any of our esthetically correct antennas.

Hello AMSATs,
I am sending my greetings to all of you from Shanghai, where I participate
at the Ham Radio Expo.
It was a great experience to get in contact with the Chinese hams and to
promote my linear transponder and also explain more about amateur satellites
(which is still not very known to most hams here).
I have given a presentation on the first and also on the second day. Twice,
as there was a great interrest among the hams to get some more information
about the satellite topic :o)
I am sure there will be some more hams interrested in amateur satellites at
this side of the globe...
Unfortunatly I didn't see to many foreign hams, but I was lucky to meet
Masato Shibayama, JA7JZS of the Japanese Amateur Satellite Association. We
had a nice talk about satellites, and exchanged some new ideas. I also met
one Dutch HAM, PA0RWH, which was also nice so far away from home :o)
For the ICOM fans I also checked for the new IC-9100 but it was not
presented at this ham expo.
The only thing the ICOM people could tell me is that it might be available
at the next year expo, which is quiet some time to go...
Many 73 from Shanghai,

I was on this last pass on AO--07 at 15;40 Z.
I tried to call CQ no answer.
I heard k8yse with a good down link,
I gave him a call but no answer.
I had a good downlink too.
Do some people have receive problems ??

Hi Jerry!
I think K8YSE and others were focusing on AA5UK/KH6 in
Hawaii after 1538 UTC or so. Probably the last shot for
many to get Adrian
out there. I think I heard you in there, but was
trying for Hawaii also.

I didnt hear anyone above .950, as Adrian was staying in the .945 range, and
I was calling on CQ on CW up around .958 to stay away from the guys wanting
him. Otherwise didnt hear much except the little pileup down that way when
I tuned down there. No takers on CW either.

OK, it looks like something may have gone bad with my interface. What CAT
interfaces are people using with an FT-736R and SATPC32 on their computers
and are happy with?
Many thanks!
