Hello all,
I have a little description on using a Celestron Alt-Az mount for small
microwave antennas. You can find it on my website at www.dd1us.de in the
section ham downloads. It is presently only in German but as there are
pictures included you should understand the concept. The name is
"Die NexStar GT Montierung als Pr?zisionsrotor f?r Mikrowellenantennen".
The speed of the mount should be sufficient to also track LEOs as it is used
for the same purpose for tracking satellites with the telescope itself.
There is a freeware program called satellite tracker which does this.
One problem is that the mount has a clutch and if the torque (like Rick
explained below) gets to high it will slip.
Best regards
Matthias DD1US

Betreff: [amsat-bb] Alt-Az telescope mount for Antenna
Hello all, I'm new to the boards here and was browsing through and saw a
post a few weeks ago about using an Alt az Telescope mount as an antenna
rotor.
I didn't see a response so I'll add my .0661 Malaysan Ringgits based on my
experience as an Amateur Astronomer.
First I have to presume that the OP already has the mount in question as a
purpose made rotor could be had for a lot less money.
First I'd think wind load on a typical antenna wouldn't be that much, but I
would mount the antenna with it's center of gravity as close as possible to
the elevation axis. Since a telescope would be mounted with its CG ON the
Elevation axis, you'd want to keep the Antennas CG as close as possible to
minimize and torque loads on the gears. I'd also use a sturdy dovetail
mount, though that being said it looks like the mount in question is more
than capable of handling the weight.
Also make sure that the antenna will clear all aprt of the mount though it's
entire range travel.
As for tracking, I'm not sure if it will track fast enough. I couldn't find
any specs in that regard. I know the Meade Autostar can accept Keplarian
elements and track sats. Quite frankly it looks like a pain to upload them
and I've never tried it, though I've been tempted.
Since I've gotten interested in working the birds (Still have yet to make a
QSO, Building an antenna and amassing the needed equipment), I've been
looking at my Orion EQ1 German mount as a possible rotor. It's a basic
Mount and I've figured if I mount the antenna with the beam paralell to the
Dec shaft, alI have to do is set the lattitude comlimentary to the Max
elevation (90 Deg - Max El) and point the RA shaft opposite the Max
Elevation Azimuth, it will track the path of the sat. It won't track using
the Clock drive, but I should be able to keep up using the slow motion
controls. That being said, substututing a faster motor shouldn't be too
difficult for a later project.
Hope this helps.
Now if someone could show me how to reply to thread on the archives......

Thanks, Nigel. I did this before I asked for help. I got drivers
that matched the board (silkscreened model), but they wouldn't work at
all. The firmware in the unit won't allow the drivers to be
recognized (or vice versa).

It needs to be updated by the LoTW folks. My understanding is that all the
IT resources have been occupied with the cutover to the new ARRL web site.
It wouldn't hurt to drop a polite note to the LoTW folks. Squeaky wheel and
all. ;)

Do those red plastic tips come off? If so, you may be able to put some
penetrating oil the and wait for it to loosen things up.

Since my previously reported issues of intermittent Elevation control of my
g-5500 where it would work and stop based on heat of the day it has now
stopped completely and will no longer raise at all.
Can someone point me down the correct paths to start testing where my
problems are and if I need to send the controller or actual EL rotor into

Is there a good trouble shooting document somewhere?

Mike,
That parallels my own problem 2 years ago, including the temperature effect.
It was the phase shift capacitor, which unfortunately is located inside the
rotator. You can see it on the schematic. You can get them from Yaesu, or
at least you could. Replacing it is tedious, but the hardest part is taking
everything down to get at it. Some have reported you can "fix" it by
installing the capacitor at the control box. I tried that, but it only
helped a bit. It probably depends on the failure mode.

A product called Kroil from Kano Labs is the best penetrate I have found.
Some heat helps too, but not enough to anneal the aluminum.

<snip>
I've loosened corroded threads after applying penetrating oil and then
*gently* applying torque. Usually I was successful, though I sometimes had
to repeat the process.
After disassembling the elements, it might be a good idea to remove the
threaded stud and run a tap down the holes at the ends of the shafts to
clean them out. I also recommend cleaning the external threads with a wire
brush or running a die over them.
If the latter doesn't help, replacement studs might be available at places
such as hardware or building supply stores or automotive parts dealers. If
not, they could be made by cutting ready rod to length and beveling the
ends.
To prevent the threads from binding in the future, there are compounds
available just for that purpose. A building supply store might have
something like that for threaded pipe. Just dip the external thread in it
and screw the element back together.
I hope this helps.

Just to be clear.
AMSAT rules --- one contact on AO-51 mode V/S, and one contact AO-51 mode
V/U
ARRL rules --- one contact on AO-51 period.
When I asked the ARRL for a ruling a couple years ago this was the answer I
got. One contact on AO-51 regardless of modes.
Is AMSAT allowing two? One on each mode.

Nick,
Yes DXKeeper works well for satellite contacts. That's what I used for my
recent KH6 Dxpedition for logging.
Make sure you have checked the Propagation box. This will show additional
information including the satellites and the Modes.
Check marking the Awards box let's you add the gridsquare.
Hope that helps,

Nick,
Yes. Just a matter of selecting the right configuration options. It also
will handle LoTW and eQSL satellite contacts as well. You can create
different configurations for HF, satellite, etc. Probably the most
important point is to set the propagation mode to SAT and add in the
satellite name and mode on the logging page. Attached to the direct mail
will be a picture of my screen with a familiar call, and a copy of my
configuration file which goes in the CONFIGURATION directory of the program.
This should give you a good start. Satellite logging is documented, but may
require some experimenting to get the defaults the way you want them.

I am using dx keeper for my logging program. Is there a way to inter
satellite contacts in it?
Thanks

Dear all,
I am Naomi Kurahara, a member of UNITEC-1 project.
We finished the first operation phase with small and big antenna.
During May 21st 7:00:00(UTC) - 17:00:00(UTC), we received signals from
UNITEC-1.
Unfortunately we didn't receive after that. UNITEC-1 may have a nap...
In the next phase we use 18m Katsuura, 34m NICT, 32m Yamaguchi to wake
up UNITEC-1 again ;-)
I hope we will find a way! Please keep watching our project.

Please listen a received data with our ground stations.

If you received UNITEC-1 signal, please report to me.
We will send a verification card.
703kurahara@xxxxx.xxx
Best regards,
73.
