Hello folks,
I have been mostly mode B user on AO- 7 satellite but
today I decided to try mode A from my summer QTH. I have two
antennas
for downlink (vertical and Spiderbeam with four elements for 28MHz) and
no problems for receiving signals from the sat. Of course because of
the polarsation change switching between these antennas during the pass
gives best results.
For the uplink I have used FT-817 (5w power) to 9-
element yagi, unfortunately SWR is high above 145MHz. On every pass
that I tried today I have heard my own signal on downlink (weak but
heard).
What is the recommended power level for mode A (if there is
one)? From my previous visits to my summer QTH I have heard some
japanese stations and satations from stateside, so this mode would be
worth to try. On mode B from my city location
5-15 watts is well
enough. What kind of antennas people are using on mode A?
Mika, OH8MBN

Hello Mika and AO-7 fans
I to have made many attempts at AO-7 mode A.? These efforts go back to the
days of RS-15.? I have noticed that my HF antenna for 10M is a 4 element
cubical quad.? It is cut for a frequency much lower in the band.? As a
result the reflector seems to act more like a director at 29.45Mhz.?
Therefore ?signals are better off the back of my quad than the front.? ?From
Seattle Wa. CN87 I have made several attempts at JA contacts.? Only one time
I was able to copy a partial call from JA.? Local U.S contacts are not a
problem.? When it comes to stretching the footprint that's where the "fun"
begins.? Mode A I think requires a bit more uplink power.? If we ever get
more sunspots propagation on the 10 meter? gets interesting.? I believe it
was RS-13 that had a 15M uplink and a 10M downlink.? You could work it at
times way byond the horizon.? Ahhh the "good" old days!? Mika, send me note
from time to time if you want to try a mode A attempt.? We have done it many
times on mode B.? Good !
luck.

Hi All,
I received the QSL cards from UX5UO Print in the mail today (10/8), and I
will get them out to everyone over the next couple days. If you have sent a
request, and you do not receive your QSL card(s) within 3-4 weeks, please
email me and I will resend it. Also, if you would like a card but have not
sent one in yet, please follow the instructions on my QRZ.com page.
Thanks again for the contacts!
73!

Was wondering if there is going to be any video offered later on on the AMSAT
web site from the Symposium?
What I am most interested in is the following:
Saturday, October 9
1500 - 1520 Stephen Turner K3HPA, 100 Watt VHF/UHF Amplifier
Looks like I will have to get a copy of the proceedings in the next few months
to read up on this also.

James.
All the talks will be recorded and made available in the relatively near
future. Just a matter of editing, etc. There is a truly awesome level of
AV equipment set up.

All,
according Henks PA3GUO idea I will also stream the HO-68 FM transponder for
test purposes this evening.
http://www.dk3wn.info/webradio.php
The times for my QTH JN49lr are:
09 Oct HO-68 17:24 to 17:39 UTC 17 deg pass
09 Oct HO-68 19:08 to 19:27 UTC 53 deg pass
09 Oct HO-68 20:56 to 21:15 UTC 41 deg pass
Any comments are very appreciated.
73, Mike
