On the AO-27 pass that just took place (~ 19:00Z), I noticed that the AO-27
website schedule was a good 20 minutes behind the satellite's actual mode,
while my son's Java scheduler was about 2-1/2 minutes behind. I have sent
Michael Wyrick an e-mail to let him know.

SATPC32 will work perfectly on your OS and version. (Plus many others!)
Same as mine.

Hi!
On Saturday, 5 June 2010, I will attend the White Mountain Hamfest
in Show Low, Arizona. This is a half-day hamfest in eastern Arizona,
and more information about the hamfest is available at:
http://www.whitemountainhamfest.com/
During the hamfest, there will be on-air demonstrations on various
satellites by WD9EWK. The hamfest site is in grid DM44xg. After
the hamfest, depending on the time and weather, I hope to be on the
air from the DM44/DM54 grid boundary which is less than 3 miles/5km
east of the hamfest site.
On Sunday, 6 June 2010, I plan on driving northward toward grid DM56
somewhere in northeastern Arizona or northwestern New Mexico. This
is a grid I have worked from only once (July 2008), and have worked
only one station via satellite from this area in the past few years.
I will try to work as many passes, FM and SSB, that I can get on from
up there into the mid-afternoon. Since it will take at least 5 hours
for me to get home from this area, I cannot stay up there for the
passes in the late afternoon or evening. I will post more information
about this part of the trip to the -BB during that weekend.
As with my other road trips, I will be happy to QSL contacts made with
WD9EWK from the hamfest and the post-hamfest activity. Please e-mail
me the QSO details, and - if you are in the log - I will send you a
card.
73!

My merchant marine vessel is scheduled to sail from the Persian Gulf to
Diego Garcia starting tomorrow, 24 May. I expect to be QRV in several
wet grids during the afternoon and evening, as well as in the morning if
my work schedule permits it.
I'll be hitting AO-51, AO-27, FO-29, and VO-52 as much as possible
during the 10 days we'll be underway along with AO-7 and HO-68 when
they're available.
73,

Hi!
In the past two years, I have taken road trips through northern
Arizona and parts of Utah and Nevada - lots of sightseeing, and
lots of satellite operating. This year, I am escaping the desert
heat, going north for a week. I will spend over a week in British
Columbia, visiting much of Vancouver Island plus spending time in
and around metropolitan Vancouver. I enjoy visiting Canada, and
this is the perfect time of the year for me to head up there (it
is hot in Arizona in early July - over 110F/43C!). During this
trip, I plan on working satellites - FM and SSB - from many
locations on Vancouver Island and some locations in and around
metropolitan Vancouver as VA7EWK.
The only things that have been set in stone right now are my flights
to and from Vancouver. I go to Vancouver on Saturday, 3 July 2010,
and return home on Sunday, 11 July. Beyond the flights, all plans
are tentative at this time. I am thinking of spending a few days,
including part of the 4 July holiday (in the USA) weekend on
Vancouver Island, and then a few days at the end of the week in and
around Vancouver.
Based on several printed and online maps, it appears that I do not
need a Jeep, tank, boat, or helicopter to visit 6 of the 8 grids on
Vancouver Island (CN78, CN79, CN88, CN89, CO60, CO70). Of these 6,
two of them are heard with some regularity on the satellites (CN88
and CN89), as those grids cover parts of Washington state and the
Lower Mainland of British Columbia. I do not plan on much radio
activity from them. The others are rarely heard, and those would be
the focus of my radio operating while on the island. Two other grids
on the island (CN69, CO50) could be visited, if I see passable roads
when I am up there.
Back on the Lower Mainland, CO80 north of Vancouver is one that has
been rarely heard on the satellites. This is where the Whistler ski
resort is located, and an area I want to visit and operate from. I
may be able to drive to CN99 east of Vancouver, depending on how much
time I have at the end of the week - assuming I start the week on
Vancouver Island. I also hope to meet up with some satellite
operators while I am in Vancouver.
My recent trip to Dayton was partly a test in preparation for this
planned trip to Canada. I wanted to bring a station with me to
Dayton that I could use to work FM and SSB satellites, and in
particular try to work long distances through the SSB birds to
places I can't work from home in Arizona. As I had posted last
weekend, I was able to make a couple of transatlantic QSOs via AO-7
from the Dayton area, and was able to work other satellites from
points in and around Dayton. I will take my two FT-817NDs, Elk log
periodic antenna, and other gear and accessories to Canada as my
portable station - just like I did for Dayton.
I have started a web page for this trip at:
http://july2010.wd9ewk.net/
I will post updates there, as well as through messages to the -BB
before and during this trip. Please e-mail me if you have any
questions, comments, suggestions, etc. regarding this trip. Even
though radio is only one part of the trip, I hope to have time to
work many stations all over from up there.
73!

All,
I am planning on leaving Thule Greenland on either Wednesday or Thursday
of this week. I do not know how many more opportunities I will have to
be on the air before I leave Greenland. We are not flying today so I
will try to make the most of my down time and get on the air. I will
try to be on the following passes today from FQ56pm:
AO-51 1131UTC
AO-51 1310UTC
AO-51 1627UTC
HO-68 1835UTC
Thank you to everyone I've worked or who has tried to work me. You guys
have made this trip a lot of fun for me.
73,
Reid OX/N0RC

I feel sorry for all satellite operators that have never had the
opportunity to try out a HEO. I never demonstrated one from the shack, but
during field days when I had an audience there was always a lot of
fascination at equipment and at all you could hear. Most of the time there
was always some DX too.

ditto-hang on to that L & S stuff for the next ( if, when) HEO.? In the mean

Hi,
my 70 cms amp has suddenly gone low power (50-60w) and the input swr appears
high.
where can I get a copy of the circuit do do some fault finding and is this a
common problem as my IC821 with a 3 ele yagi does not have sufficient power
to get me onto VO-52,

Sounds like one of the output transistors went bad (probably open). This
would give you half power and higher input (IC821 to amp) swr.
