Betreff: [amsat-bb] Fw: Sumbandila schedule until 2010-10-17
The Sumbandilasat and SA-AMSAT team has released their tentative activation
times for this weekend, and it looks like North and South America will have
many active passes. Keep in mind that many Scouts will be active for JOTA
this weekend, so please make an extra effort to contact them and welcome
them to amateur satellites.
73, Drew KO4MA
PS Thank you to the Sumbandilasat and SA-AMSAT team, and also to Ed, N8BBQ
for calculating the pass times.

Does anyone know if the DXpeditions to the "new" PJ entities plan on any
satellite operation? I figure they are busy with HF operations right now
but getting on for a few satellite passes once they have worked down the
pileups on HF would sure be fun for the sat operators.

Hi all,
Due to renovation of our house I do not have the possibility
to monitor SO-67 and the rest of our satellites at the moment - and
for the next couple of month.
I would very much like to follow what is happening so please report on:
http://oscar.dcarr.org/
This week SO-67 is scheduled to be active over Europe as seen in the e-mail
from Andrew.
Also the schedule is on:
http://www.amsatsa.org.za/
As always we are secondary "passengers" so all the planned active passes may
not be on.
Thanks in advance.

Bob,
?
I built the LVB tracker up from one of Howard's early bare boards.
?
I had these problems interfacing to an old Wilson 550 rotor. I?added relay
circuits inside?the old rotor box. The relay coils had supression diodes.
The relays were switching 120 VAC which I think was the root cause. I
started this project with the LVB tracker's power supplied from the rotor. I
eventually gave the LVB tracker its own supply. Then I added supression
circuirtry inside the LVB Tracker cabinet. I finally solved the problem
and?ran for years until the rotor just gave out mechanically.
?
The spikes would stop the tracker in?a pass when there was relay activity.
Sometimes I could just power down/up and ?the LVB tracker everything would
be?OK. Sometimes reload SATPC32, and?occassionally it would corrupt the
calibration constants so I had to reload. One thing is certain, the LVB
Tracker is a tough one.
?
When the rotor gave out, I purchased a 5500. No problems using the 5500.
?
Food for thought,?and I don't want to send you down the wrong path.
?
Listen to Howard.
?
Good luck with your problem.
?

Hi All,
The plan right now is AO-51 tonight. First pass at 2239Z from grid DN58
and the 0018Z (10/13) from DN57.
I will update tomorrows sked later.

Hi again,
Jim asked me to post his plans for tomorrow, Oct. 13.
He plans to spend the night in DN56. Not in concrete, but may be on the
morning pass of AO-51 at 1223Z from DN56.
A chance he may be on SO-50 at 1445Z. I tried to talk him into this pass.
Look for him on the HO-68 SSB pass at 1635Z from the DN56/DN57 grid lines.
Then next up for Wednesday afternooon is AO-51 at 2200Z from DN66/DN67
grids. Followed with a FO-29 pass at 2316Z (same grids)
And finally another AO-51 pass at 2237Z from those same grids.
I sure hope I didn't miss any passes he told me over the phone. If so, I'm
very sorry. If a bird flies..... I listen for Jim!
73 all,
Rick WA4NVM

Greetings satellite enthusiests,
With the notice earlier today from the SO-67 ground crew opening up
worldwide passes for this coming Jamboree on the Air weekend, there are now
multiple opportunities for Amateur Satellite communications for the many
JOTA stations globally.
As an AMSAT member and as a organizer for a JOTA operation at the National
Scouting Museum in Irving, TX (K2BSA/5), I am very excited for the
possibility to have now many good passes for satellite demonstrations during
our operating day. I am very invested in developing a great experience for
the many Scouts who I expect to come through our event and also the many
thousands worldwide who will experience Ham Radio and satellites, some for
the first time.
My request of the many regular satellite operators around the globe is this;
please let Scout stations have preference on the birds this weekend. Like
our effort, so many of these JOTA satellite demos will be low power and
handheld. If they have to compete with big fixed guns, they can find
themselves with little chance of making meaningful contacts with other Scout
JOTA groups. My experience of being unable to bust through the din of an
AO-27 pass at a Scout demo several weeks ago is still fresh. Our hope on
JOTA weekend is to provide a meaningful introduction to Ham Radio to the
Scouting community.
Please let Scout JOTA demos have first chance at a pass. Please inhibit
Packet activity on HO-68 as the satellite will be in "FM" only mode.
Observe the "QRP" request for the AO-51 second repeater. And let's all slow
down on AO-27 despite the short windows.
Many Ham Radio operators got their first exposure during Scout events like
JOTA. Let's hope this year we pick up some more.

It was a test and John, K8YSE passed. The last pass on AO-51 should be
2337Z, not 2237Z.
Thanks again John..... I would hate to have everyone off an hour.
CU on the birds,

Hi all,
Anyone running and IC-910H with SatPC32 and Windows 7 64-bit? Everything
seems to work except for the CAT function. I have the proper port

Any help would be appreciated.

Also one of *my* favorite Linux apps!
Unfortunately I printed the manual for version 1.1 last week to try and
learn more about it so I can automate my station using Linux.
Oh, well........

Hi all,
I have been told that a lot of operators use too high deviation on SO-67.
Here is a repetition of my experience from last time SO-67 was active over
Europe.
1. Used FMN and the CTCSS tone. LF level OK but the transponder lets the
tone through. That does not sound nice.
2. Used normal "old" FM deviation and NO CTCSS tone. Sounds better to me.
3. Used "old" deviation and the CTCSS tone. That sound really horrible.
Try to listen to your own modulation and adjust the deviation (mike gain)
down until it sounds good.

I have just added the 2010 Symposium Proceedings to the AMSAT Online
Store. I will have an actual copy in a few days and make necessary
adjustments if the topics are not exactly correct. Will also add the
number of pages and post a cover picture.
Please be aware that it is heavy and shipping overseas will be
expensive. Martha will add the shipping charges at time of mailing and
notify you of the exact amount for postage.

Hi!
On Saturday (16 October) morning, AMSAT will have a table at the
annual Old Pueblo Radio Club hamfest in Tucson, Arizona. This is
a half-day hamfest, located at the Kino Community Center on Ajo
Way, east of I-10 and the Tucson Electric Park baseball stadium.
The hamfest starts early in the morning, and will probably wrap
up by midday.
Along with the AMSAT table, WD9EWK will be on various satellites
for demonstrations - both in SSB and FM. I am obviously aware
that Saturday is also the Jamboree on the Air, and will try to do
my part to help that activity while at the hamfest. If there are
Scouts at the hamfest, I will offer them the opportunity to work
passes. I did this in 2008, allowing a Boy Scout from Tucson a
chance to work AO-51 and make his first satellite contacts as I
managed the radio and antenna for him. If I have a chance to
repeat that, I will. If the Scout is a licensed ham, the Scout's
call may be heard on the satellites instead of mine. Otherwise,
as in the last couple of years, I will try to work stations with
Scouts and also listen in on their QSOs with others.
After the hamfest, I haven't decided on the route I will take for
the drive home. I may take a longer route to visit some other
grids, or possibly the Arizona/New Mexico state line, or I may
linger around Tucson before taking the direct route home. I will
post more about my post-hamfest plans on Friday or Saturday.
73!
