The Greater Houston Hamfest is Saturday, March 1. We will be on the
satellites. Look for our demo station on the morning passes (especially
AO-51 at 9am CST).

Hello all, my name is Kent Frazier, K5KNT. I am just getting interested in
working amateur satellites. I just joined AMSAT on Tuesday, 26 February
2008. My current hardware is an Icom IC2720 dual band in my personal vehicle
with a Comet C767 dual band antenna. I also have an Icom IC-T22A 2-meter
hand held with a Diamond RH77CA antenna.
I've been trying to listen to passes of AO-51 over the last week.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to hear anything since Monday, 25
February at approx 01:04 UTC (Saturday 24 FEB 19:04 CST). At that time, I
thought I heard the call W9CPV.
I'm currently using Satscape as my tracking software. My Gridsquare location
is DM91sk.
Are there other satellites I could monitor with the above equipment? Any
suggestions for making my first contact?
73,
Kent R. Frazier, K5KNT

Hi Kent,
Welcome to the sats. I just started myself a few
weeks ago. AO-51 is quite popular and there are
usually many stations calling when it is on mode V/U
(Friday through Monday UTC). So if you are not
hearing anything, even on a high pass, there must be
some problem with your receiver/antenna, or you are
not tuned to the correct frequency, or your tracking
program is off and you are not listening at the
correct time, etc. There's a nice AO-51 operating
guide at:
http://www.g6lvb.com/Articles/operatingAO51.htm
The other sats you can work with FM-only gear are
AO-27 (daytime only) SO-50 (a bit weaker than 51 and
27), and the International Space Station (although
transponder is often turned off).

Weird stuff today, I even checked my antenna to make sure it was up ,
frequency correct, but not nearing either PCSat or ISS today and last 2
passes were directly overhead.

Nothing wrong with your gear. http://www.ariss.net/ shows no activity
for several hours for ISS. PCSAT is back into eclipse so unless it has
been in the sun for a good portion of the orbit before getting to your
location, it will be quiet as well.
