With the proliferation of VUCC awards being earned recently, I thought a
brief recap of what awards are available for satellite work would be
appropriate.
AMSAT has offered several awards over the years. And you do not need 100
contacts to get award-ed for your accomplishments: a single documented
satellite contact qualifies you for the AMSAT Satellite Communicator's Club
award!
Current and past AMSAT awards include ...
-Satellite Communicator's Club
-Satellite Communications Achievement
-South African AMSAT Award
-OSCAR Sexagesimal Award
-OSCAR Century Award
-WA4AMI 1000 Award
-WA4AMI 5000 Award
-51 on 51 Achievment Award
Details on the AMSAT awards available at ...
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/awards/
In addition, the ARRL recognizes satellite efforts, too, with their WAC,
DXCC, WAS, and VUCC awards.
-Worked All Continents Award (WAC) - Make one satellite contact with any
station on each of the six continents.
-DXCC Award with Satellite Endorsement - Make one satellite contact with any
station in 100 different DXCC countries.
-Worked All States Award - Make one satellite contact with any station in
each of the 50 states.
VHF/UHF Century Club Award - Make one satellite contact with any station in
100 different grid squares. Endorsements for each additional 25 grid squares.

Good job Clint and to add a few more...
From AMSAT
K2ZRO Memorial Station Engineering Award that was very popular on AO-13
in both v/u and v/s modes.
Then if you are so inclined, there are a host of awards issued by the ARRL
VHF/UHF Century Club (VUCC)
Worked All States on Satellite
Worked All Continents (issued by the ARRL for the IARU)
DXCC on Satellite
Central States VHF Society has one for Satellites
VUCC/r (reverse VUCC... work from 100 different grids)
CQ Magazine has some awards for satellite
Then there are a bunch from foreign countries. So if you are in need of
wallpaper, have time to gather all the goodies needed, you too can be a
proud recipient of another award. You can then truly state that you did
that and have the t-shirt (I mean certificate).

Hi all,
I'm wondering if it is recommended to work AO-51 during the eclipse
passes(early morning) over North America. From what I've heard on this BBS
it will be entering a long period of eclipses, and the batteries are getting
a bit long in the tooth. I don't want to mess things up. So I thought I'd
ask ahead of time.
Thanks to all that are monitoring and controlling ECHO.

Eclipses do not start for the satellite until January. Even if you are in
the dark, the satellite is illuminated if anywhere in it's footprint is
illuminated, so feel free to use AO-51 no matter the time right now. When we
go back into eclipses in January, we'll likely configure the satellite to be
off when in the dark. Thanks for asking though!

good list of ?awards, my i add that
QRP Amateur Radio Club International has?satellite awards
also and they are very good bunch of qrp people,
as i have found out there is no shortage of wall paper
i have 11?satellite awards (certificates) some listed some not,
and some from other countries,

Hello Nayer,
I have not seen any other's response, so, here is mine....
Performance verification, one step at a time.
I verify performance and calibrate all scales before the positioners are
put on the tower.
Start off reading the instruction manual for operation and maintenance.
Replace any corroding hardware as needed, one piece at a time.
Be sure all hardware is torqued properly and NOT loose.
Do not hesitate to grease all threads with a tenacious axle grease, all
aseembly bolts/screws and clamps.
The grease allows you to take stuff apart 10 years later.
Before connecting anything, measure the resistance of the AZ and EL
positioner
internal position indicating potentiometer.
Do the numbers agree with the manual ?
Measure the motor winding resistances. Do both the AZ and the EL
positioners.
Document findings. Is the manual in agreement ?
Determine how much rotator control cable length you will need
Sketch out a wiring diagram and document the wire color scheme you will
be using.
(My 8 conductor rotator control cable uses 8 different colors.)
Assemble the cable to the AZ and EL rotator with the actual length of
rotator control cables to be used.
Do not add antennas at this time. Orient the AZ and EL positioners as
they would be used.
Measure the resistance of the AZ and EL motor windings, with the cable
attached, at the controller end of the cable.
Measure the resistance of the indicator potentiometer for both AZ and EL.
Document your findings. Are readings reasonable ? Correct any problem.
Wire up the control cables to the controller and add a means of
measuring the AC current to the controller.
Apply AC power to the controller and note the AC current draw.
Exercise the AZ rotator, verify that the AZ rotator turns clockwise or
counterclockwise as activated.
Note the AC current when the AZ rotator is turning. AC current should be
the same CW or CCW rotation.
Is the azimuth indicator going thru it's entire display range ?
Calibrate the AZ display according to the manual. Verify position range
after any adjustments.
Some AZ controllers only go 360 degrees +/- a few degrees , some go more.
Park the AZ positioner at one end of its rotation. I call this NORTH.
(0.0 degrees true north)
Exercise the EL posioner, Calibrate the display as indicated in the manual.
Not the mechanical noise to the AZ or EL motor turning.
Measure AC current to the positioner as the EL motor is turning max
speed. Document.
Park the EL positoner at 0.0 degrees elevation.
Measure the AC or DC current from the controller to the AZ and EL
positioner, document.
Measure the voltage at the controller output, no load and full speed
positioner load
Disassemble and reassemble on the tower. Add the antennas
Slip the mast for 0 degrees true north. Torque down the mast clamps
Slip the boom for 0 degrees elevation. Torque down the boom clamps.
Exercise the AZ and EL over its full range. Measure AC current to the
controller with antenna loading.
Measure the AC or DC current from the controller to the positioner, with
antenna loading.
Document findings.
Play satellite.....
I hope this helps

All,
It's my understanding that the term "G3RUH compatible" does not actually
mean a TNC uses G3RUH circuitry. Can anyone shed some light on whether
or no the SCS Tracker actually uses the G3RUH system?

Hello all,
Thanks to ZR1CBC, Johann Lochner of the SO-67 team for honoring a request I
made to have SO-67 support a special demonstration of Amateur Radio at an
International day festival being held at the North Hills Preparatory School
here in Irving, TX this coming Saturday, 13 November. Ham radio as an
international activity will be featured as well as booths/crafts/food from
around the world. The fact that SO-67, SUMBANDILASAT is a South African
bird will add to the appeal of the demo.
I would like to invite other sat ops in North America to join us on SO-67
this Saturday. http://www.amsatsa.org.za/

Congrats on talking to the ISS at the hamfest.
To the AMSAT group. I just worked NA1SS last week. Do I need to
SASE to the ARRL for the QSL card, or do they send them out? I am not a

I almost didn't think to try for ISS passes, until I looked at the

few days before the hamfest.

send them out automatically. Congratulations on making

I think we're going to miss Doug Wheelock when he heads back Earthside.
He's been nearly as active as Mike Fincke was. He
needs to pass his enthusiasm for operating the ISS station along to his
replacement.

All,
Worked AO51 this evening, a pretty quiet pass, had some time to actually
talk! Myself & Dave Kb5WIA work a station with call K7TWQ in CN94. When I
went to log him in I could not find his call in any of the usual DB's, Dave
also could not find him. We both tried several variations on the theme but
no soap. If you're out there and we got your call wrong or if anyone knows
who we worked, please let us know. CN94 is a new grid for me, I'd like to
get it in the book.

I heard him on a pass this afternoon while mobile (didn't have the uplink
set up so I couldn't get in myself). He was chatting a bit as it was a
western pass and apparently not too busy. From his end of the conversation
he seemed to indicate that once he's back on earth he'd be receptive to
appearing at hamfest & Clubs to talk about his experiences and meet the
stations he's worked.
Hope it's so.
