Hello.......
I heard some QSOs on S band on the last pass...I have had to repair
my connection to the dish to receive the down link signal.
I was successful to hear some signals from the L48. I could
not make out the call signs but it is encouraging.. I will keep
on trying. W7LRD,.Bob.. I will be looking for you.
73,
Dale

With AO-51 in mode V/S i start to test a wave guide filter model ITS 1653C
made by ITS corporation Mc Murry PA.
The wave guide centered on 2401Mhz with a band pass covering 2400 to 2402Mhz
with a very low insertion loss.
The first test made on my last AO-51 pass confirm all the qrm out of the
passband if effectively reduced a lot.
More test will be needed to confirm if the filter effectively help my AIDC
downconverter reception
P.S. when i dismantle the antenna coax from the AIDC connector i saw the N
female connector full of white rust. Even with a carefull taping
only the antenna connector show this type of corosion. I suspect the N male
adaptor and the is made of a different alloy than the AIDC N
connector.
After one year at the top of the tower the corrosion take his toll and it
will a good thing to check your AIDC downconverter connector
condition.
I don't know how i was able to hear on 2401mhx with a so white powder
rusted connector?

Hi Greg, KO6TH
It was only the Sub Satellite Point SSP of the Moon south of your latitude
on the earth surface i.e. the map display but the Moon as seen from your
locator was north of your latitude over the celestial sphere up in the sky
and this is why you aim north the antennas to hit the Moon even if her SSP
on the map has a southbound path.

I've got the rotator tracking (Fox Delta + G5400) but having trouble with
the rig freq control for uplink & downlink Doppler correction.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Dell GX270
IC-910H
Gpredict on Ubuntu Linux
Onboard serial ports @ 19200
Fox Delta STS-2 (?? I think, maybe 3)
Funny looking antennas on a nasty 25' stick which spins around and is
attached to the porch.
