Hi all:
Here is a EME event you cant miss.
Dust off your CW key, its time for Satellite, QRP EME.
The 1,000 foot dish has 60 dBi on 432 mc and 400 watts.
That comes out to be approximately 243,902,443 Million Watts ERP.

Arecibo on 432 MHz Moon Bounce
The Arecibo Observatory Amateur Radio Club will be putting the
1000-foot radio telescope on the air for 432 MHz EME from April 16-18.
It can be heard with a small hand-held yagi pointed at the moon
The scheduled times of operation are:
April 16: 1645 - 1930 UTC
April 17: 1740 - 2020 UTC
April 18: 1840 - 2125 UTC
Callsign: KP4AO
Tx Frequency: 432.045 MHz
Rx Frequency: 432.050 to 432.060+
Tx power: 400 W
Antenna gain: 60 dBi
System noise temp: 120 K (cold sky)
System noise temp: 330 K (when pointed at moon)
KP4AO can be heard with a small hand-held yagi pointed at the moon and a
good receiver. A 15 dBi antenna and 100 W will be enough to work us on
CW.
Operators at KP4AO will do their best to work as many stations as
possible. Each session will start with a brief announcement and CQ in
SSB. SSB QSOs may continue for 30 minutes to an hour, if the QSO rate
remains high.
The mode will be shifted to CW as soon as it is judged that higher QSO
rates would result.
We will listen for calls at frequencies 5-15 kHz higher than our own,
and even higher if QRM warrants. Callers who s-p-r-e-a-d o-u-t are more
likely to be copied.
If you've already worked us in any mode, please do not call again --
give others a chance.
If we call "CQ QRP", we will listen for stations running 100 W or less
to a single yagi. Please do not answer such a CQ if you are running more
power or have a larger antenna.
On April 18, if we reach a condition where most calling stations have
been worked, and we judge that operating in the digital mode JT65B would
produce a higher QSO rate, we will switch to JT65B.
Note that any of these planned operating strategies may be changed as
circumstances dictate.
We are extremely fortunate to have been granted access to the world's
largest radio telescope for this amateur radio good-will event. We look
forward to working as many stations as possible in the alloted time!

Hello all,
I will be holding a presentation and SO-50 demo tomorrow Thursday, April 8th
for a gifted class at Sleepy Hill Elementary School in Lakeland, FL. I
understand that out of 52 students, 12 hold their technician licenses and
about 12 more will take their test shortly.
I would like to invite anyone who can, to join us for the 15:26 UTC (11:26
ET) pass as max. elevation will only be 9 deg. and this is my only
opportunity for a pass due to class times.
See you on the bird,
Dave, AA4KN

Hi Bob,
Will your presentation be available via YouTube or similar? I'm unable to
attend this year due to gardening requirements (85 year-old mother dictated
this), I would very much like to view the SDR presentations.
If homeland security let me come over in 2011 I'll contact you.

On Friday, May 14, I am the moderator (and speaker) at the SDR forum at the
2:30 PM - 5 PM session. I have two speakers (Scotty on openhpsdr, and I
speak on general SDR topics).
I need to fill out this time and this leaves at least 1.5 hours to fill. I
would like to get this settled as soon as possible.
Let me know if you are interested in making a presentation.
Also, FYI, I will be the AMSAT/TAPR banquet speaker on Friday night. In
addition to my forum, SDR, paper delivery with Joel Harrison, work in Flex
booth, etc. this will be one of the busiest Dayton's for me in years.
I look forward to seeing many of you.

Again a friendly reminder that the cutoff date for the AMSAT block of rooms
in Dayton is April 13th. If you are planning to stay with us, please call

Chris (KC0YBM),
If you read the BB please contact me at ?kb8zgl at kb8zgl.net? as your email
is not listed on your QRZ page and I haven?t found it through any other ham
websites or searches on Google.
Thanks, sorry for the bandwidth all,
Mike
