Hello,
During latest Comprida Island expedition (GG64, IOTA-SA-024) we heard a
strange CW signal "6HE" at 144,470 MHz, CW, pointed aprox. 60 ~ 70
degrees, to the ocean toward Rio de Janeiro. Does anyone has heard
anything like that? Seems like a radio buoy but I never listen it on 2
meters. Any ideas? The video:

Yep Larry, I'm in San Diego, CA, I hear them on the ISS down link all the
time, I have tried to tell them in English that they were on a satellite
downlink but they don't speak English and I am usually on an HT so they are
not hearing me. I will try to bring my digital voice recorder with me,
next time to see if I can capture a call sign.

"Last year in Mexicali Mexico we spot a company that uses ISS down link freq
145.800 Mhz to communicate on simplex, as soon as we get their phone number
by monitoring for a few days we give them a courtesy call and they politely
agree to change their operating freq.
I did not record the audio from this pass but would like to get it to see if
we can get more details.

UO-11 is back on, heard at 0303UTC
over the central US. My satellite program
shows UO-11 in eclipse during this
pass.

Trying to setup Sat32PC, I have a G-5500 rotor and using an RCI-SE
control board.
I have been using Linux gpredict and hamlib to control rotor OK but
wanted to try Sat32PC so trying setup a system.
ARSWIN says I'm at 45 degrees when antennas are actually at 90 degrees.
If I tell ARSWIN to go to 90 degrees antennas will then be at 180
degrees.
Nowhere in setup can I find something to correct this.

I notice, looking at the logbook on the AO-7 website that the Europeans
utilize
Mode A alot more than use here in NA. Since the downlink frequency is in the
upper 10 meter band, and I wondering what antenna they are using for
receive? I
have tried dipoles, horizontal loops, G5RV, etc to pretty much zero luck in
hearing the bird, even with close passes.
Any info would be appreciated..

I have made a last-minute decision to operate from the EN80/EM89 gridline
this afternoon. I will be on the AO27 pass at 1946z and AO51 at 2040z.
There is a very, very slight chance I will NOT be on AO27 at 1946z, but that
is a very remote chance.

Hi John,
I have worked AO-7 on field day using a 4-foot
vertical plugged into an ARR preamp.
