Jim advises that he just left Miles City and should be
in North Dakota, DN86 for the AO-27 pass that comes up
around 2128z.  He will also be on the following AO-51
pass at 2141z.  Later today, travel conditions permitting,
he could be all the way to DN96 and/or the DN86/96 line.

Jim reports they are having a great trip and the weather is
extremely nice.

      So I have an Icom IC-821 that I am using for the birds, SSB and
FM. I don't know what to say, but that rig isn't quite there.
     So I am trying to decide between a TS-2000 and an IC-910H. I've had
a 2000 in the past, and it is a pretty good rig. But I've heard that the
910H is "better", more or less. I have mast mounted SSB preamps to
equalize everything out.

     Anyone on the list own both an IC-910H and a TS-2000, and do you
have any thoughts on the use of them for sat use? (I don't really need
the low band part of the TS-2000, I have a K3 there).

Hello Tom,

I'm not sure where it is, but in the archives where was a discussion
about IC-910 vs TS-2000 wars, which had some good comments in
it.  I personally prefer the IC-910 (I have one) but have played with
a TS-2000 for less than 10 hours.

So, where is the archive?

Hi!

Thanks for the QSOs during my demonstrations this morning at the Old
Pueblo Radio Club's annual hamfest in Tucson.  I logged 22 QSOs on 6 passes,
using 4 different satellites (AO51, HO68, SO50, VO52).  Really nice to
hear the other hamfest and JOTA stations on the air this morning, and
to show off both FM and SSB satellite operating.

I will be happy to confirm any QSOs made with WD9EWK this morning. No
need to first send me a card or SASE; just e-mail me with the QSO
details.  If you're in the log, you will get a card.

After the hamfest, I drove out to the DM51bx/DM52ba boundary
in southeastern Arizona. I was on AO27 @ 2129 UTC at that line, and
want to work both eastern and western passes on AO51 (145.920/435.300),
AO7, and FO29 before the drive home (just over 3 hours from here).  Just
like with QSOs at the hamfest, please e-mail me with QSO details if you
worked me and want a QSL card.

73!

Allen, N5AFV, and I had a great time at the George Observatory today for
their ARISS contact. We had 4-5 other hams there with us from the Brazos
Valley Amateur Radio Club. I'd like to thank everyone on the AO-27 pass
that we worked mid afternoon. Unfortunately it was the first pass after
the ARISS contact and was 2.5 hours after the contact so all the kids
were gone. But Allen and I were up on the roof of the observatory (an
observation deck) and had a bunch of adults waiting for the satellite
aos and when they heard it start up they were thrilled. It was more fun
when we started making contacts. Allen was about 20 feet away from me
and we both had people listening in. Allen made about 5 contacts and I
made 3 or 4 (keep in mind, I have not worked a satellite in over a year
but it is like riding a bicycle, you never forget).

Hi Tom,

Yes, this exact debate comes up from time to time.  Here for what its worth
is a contribution I made when it last came up over a year ago:

"The two radios I am familiar with are the TS-2000 and the IC-910.  I have
both, and in terms of the basic performance parameters there is no
difference between them.  However the TS-2000 is a much more versatile radio
than the 910.  One of the main advantages of the 2000 from my point of view
is that almost anything that can be done from the front panel is also under
computer control.  It also has built in DTMF tones and tone memories which I
use for satellite command ops.  (It also of course has full HF
capabilities.) There are also a number of other advantages which make it my
preferred satellite radio.  I use the 910 for portable operation as it is a
bit smaller and lighter than the 2000.
Hope this helps a bit.  (Please note - I am in no way knocking the 910, it
is a great radio - it is just that with the way I operate the 2000 suits me
better.)"

Some other points:
I don't tend to use the 2000 for HF as I also have other HF radios.
The infamous 436.8MHz birdie on the 2000 means that only the second half of
an SO=50 pass is usable - I tend to use the 910 for SO-50.
On the other hand I can use the 2000 on AO-07 Mode A.  (29MHz)
The 2000 has a +/- 20kHz RIT range - sometimes very useful.  The 910 is +/-
1.2kHz which is a bit limiting.
The 910 has AFC which works well.  I can easily track AO-51 S-band signals
without any operator intervention.  The 2000 has no AFC function.

As is usually the case it comes down to personal preference and operating
style.  I am sure you will find that either radio will do the job well.

Hi all,

I just wanted to say thanks for the QSOs on SO50 yesterday morning while as
was at the CBF Amateur Radio Club.  At the time we only had one member and a
Sony video camera, but they both really enjoyed it.  I tried the 1805z AO27
pass along with my foxhunt teammate, K8QY (I wanted him to get his first
satellite QSO), but do to the large amount of stations on he was not able to
be successful.  The only station worked on that pass was WA4HFN/p with 20
seconds left on the timer.

Videos of the SO50 pass and foxhunt will be on YouTube and my QRZ page in a
few weeks.

Hi All,

Yesterday I tried without success to run the DOS version of PREDICT under
64-bit Windows.  I must admit while I'm not surprised, I was greatly
disappointed, since the program is so useful.

Does anybody have a fix or maybe a recompiled .exe ?

(And telling me to run it under Linux isn't a "fix" ;) )

I'm back to running counties on HF CW and SSB. With 53 counties in North
Dakota to put out, it's difficult to predict when I'll be in a particular
grid square. You can check a county hunting website (http://ch.w6rk.com) for
spots on my HF ops and see where I'm at. For the time being, it's the best
thing I've got for tracking since I'm not on APRS yet.

We should be in DN86 and DN96 for much of today (17 Oct). But since we're
just a few miles from the ND / SD state line, we're going to swing across
into SD to hit the DN85 / DN95 line for the AO27 pass which rises locally at
17/1919Z. At this latitude, I'll miss the first minute or two of voice
operation, but I'll do my best with the limited time.

After this pass, we'll return to ND to focus on the grids and counties there.

Realizing I need to crawl before I can walk but need to have a goal.

I've grown a strong interest in working SATS, have a few bucks and am
rebuilding my station for SATS from the ground up.
Been reading the G Gould Smith "Getting Started..." book I picked up in
Boxboro, MA at a fest a couple months ago.

I replaced my Kenwood 440 with a TS-2000 without the 1.2 GHz option,
thinking I may add 1.2 GHz next spring.

Added a 4 inch conduit to my tower with a 7/8 hard line and a run of
Jetstream LMR 400+ tagged RG-8U on jacket but specs are better than LMR
400 figure I'll use the Jetstream for 2 meter, or transmit side of
things.

Took down my 20 meter monoband beam, Purchased and mounted a Yaesu
G-5500 (Separated).
Ordered a Gulf-Alpha Gen purpose 2 meter H/V 440 V yagi, yes I also want
to work land locked stuff too.

LINUX!! Linux!! LINUX if possible ONLY-Seem good to go now with GPREDICT
1.1 and 1.2, 1.2 seems to not update rotor correctly but just got it
going this morning. Running 1.1 on another machine over LAN and seems to
work better.

I have a 40 foot 1943 steel tower for what it's worth, it's a thing of
beauty!!

My vision is to eventually move the Gulf Alpha antenna to the center
mast.

Here is where my questions come to play....????
What do I want for bird anteena's?
My biggest interest is packet and flying mailboxes/HEO/Eventually EME
possibly.

Thinking my next antenna purchase would be the Gulf Alpha 440 and 2
meter circular polarity antennas and the phasing assy to switch
polarity????

I have ample 4 port switches that can be used to switch at tower but of
course less is more as I don't want to go switch crazy and add more
attenuation to system than absolutely necessary.

I see SSB has some nice pre-amps, NEED I suspect eventually..

I'm getting stir crazy waiting for arrival of Yagi, one more day on
tower and I should be complete except for arrival of Gulf Alpha Yagi
that he is building.

Not really sure what my question is. Reading and reading, trying not to
buy too ,many unnecessary components while I impatiently wait for
antenna to arrive but forward thinking as I finalize tower today, need
to re-mount my WX station and security camera. Also adding a camera
behind garage to look up at top of tower so I can see what the heck is
going on with rotors-COOL!

In mounting WX station, need to stay high as possible but of course
can't interefere with back end of Yagi's

Antenna advice, any advise if someone has the time? Hope to QSO soon
with ya'll on the birds. Been listening on a vertical but question the
doppler accuracy so have not attempted to transmit yet.

Hi Mark,

I don't have that problem (I *do* run it under Linux :-) ), but what I
believe some do for this sort of thing is to get DosBox running first, and
then run stuff from inside there.  DosBox is a full PC emulation and DOS
