As we progress deeper and deeper in the universe we are always entilted to
stumble over new encounters. As a suggestion in the new
interstellar probes this video can make a nice visit card. I was for myself
involved in a kind of encounter this morning around 0730 UTC on
3780KHZ with a group of stations from UK and Spain that i worked in a row:
EI6S, G3LNP, G4OFY, G3UCK, G5LND, GI0VIE, G4PEL, GW4RIB
Few hours prior to theses encounter i worked on AO-51 in L/S-U mode (S on my
side ) KE3LB, N2JK, N2VYT, W7GPI, N8RO AA5CK, KC9ELU, KO4MA,
K8YSE, WB8OTH
As written by Drew KO4MA "In January AO-51 leaves continuous illumination
for many years and many of these modes
may not be possible due to power budget and battery condition." Is this mean
the above mentioned stations will be the last ones operating
on L/S mode on AO-51? Can i refer to this encounter as the "Last L/S
encounter in a kind"

Hi!
With the current issues on AO-51, my first satellite demonstration
from the Kingman (Arizona) Hamfest will be on the 1425 UTC AO-7
pass. This will go almost directly over the hamfest here in grid
DM25xf, and I hope to make some contacts to show off satellite
operating. I will also be on other passes throughout the day. If
you hear me on, please give me a call.
I have turned off my APRS radio, since I will not be moving from
this location for a while. The last spot for WD9EWK-7 at
http://aprs.fi/wd9ewk-7 shows the hamfest site. Once the hamfest
wraps up, I'll turn on that radio once again.
73!

Hi All,
Thanks to a great team effort, we have the AO-51 repeater back up and
operational.
It will be several more hours before the PBBS is open for public access, but
we expect it will be open around 2100utc today.
We usually get asked, "What caused the crash?" We honestly don't know. It
is unlikely to be related to the power budget; it would have just turned a
transmitter OFF in that case. We often suspect the South Atlantic Anomaly
as the cause, and based on the time frame of the crash this time, it is a
plausible hypothesis.
On behalf of the AO-51 Command Team,
Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]

My thanks to those I was able to contact this week during my trip
making it very enjoyable. I'll get to work on the QSLs and sending
them, just give me a little time. No SASEs or return cards are necessary.

The following antennas are free to anyone who is willing to pick them up (I
would hate to send them to the eco center.):
1.2 m parabolic dish with balanced mounting bracket. It was used with a
Yaesu G-5400, and works well.
2 m 4 element beam
70 cm 10 element beam

I agree, THANK YOU very much to the AO-51 team for your efforts.
Based on this news, I'll be operating from S7 (LI75rj) on AO-51
tonight/tomorrow on three AO-51 passes, the first at 07/0106utc, at
07/1154utc, and 07/1333utc.

Michael,
It sounds like it will be a nice show.
Thank you to you and your CASAT team for your effort to provide the amateur
community with such a fine bird as HO68, one of my favorites.
Speaking of, Gotta get ready 11 minutes to AOS :).
Thanks again.

Hi, Guys,
If you happen to be able to visit AirShow China 2010 in Zhuhai on Nov.
16-21, please visit the XW-1 booth in CAST pavilion. There, you will
meet Alan, BA1DU and I as well as a bunch of members of CAMSAT.
Meanwhile, you can see demonstration of some interesting XW-1 photos
and activities. There will be a special event station set up on the
site with the callsign BT7AAE (Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition) .
We'll be working on all possible satellites passes during the time
frame.
If you can't visit us in Zhuhai. Don't worry, you can join us by
watching live video stream or listening to live audio feed (URL
later). Meanwhile, you can write down all you thoughts and ideas on
twitter with the tag #BT7AAE, all twitter records with this tag will
be displayed on the wall by a projector to all our visitors in real
time during the exhibition, and you are likely to get feed backs from
the site or from the world.
Join us in this event.

Dear Amsat Members.
I have read the KO6TH webpage at" http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/".
This was very useful for me. Thanks you for publishing such information with
clear pictures.
I have question about the whole setup. "70cm antenna, 2.4ghz dish, rotor in
the middle, tower cam in small box, and the 2m beam on the right."
What is the required distance between these antennas to avoid any
interference or other problems?
I also have read the amsat paper" an introduction to amateur satellites",
and have that questions about KG6IAL setup on page 23.
Thanks for your help and attention.
Best Regards.
Nayer Mahdinejad.
