DEAR Amsat members.
Could you please help me.
1. How can I calibrate my yaesu rotator in azimuth and elevation?
2. I found the true north with gps and compass but don?t know what do after
that?
3. I park my rotator in zero elevation (parallel to roof surface) and also
zero in controller indoor. But now it's rotate down instead of up. I mean it
rotates clockwise instead of counter clockwise.
4. Another problem is that when the controller show 45 degree in real it
rotate 90 degree in elevation.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
Nayer M

Jack,
Make certain that the name of the satellite is exactly the same in the
DOPPLER.SQF file as it is in the keps you are using. If they don't match
exactly, no tuning info. An alternative is to use the AMSAT NAMES function.

Sorry, read that too fast. Does the name of the satellite in the .sqf file
match the name in the keps file exactly? Did you restart after changing the
file?

A bit late for me, but here is what the ARRL LoTW page says today:
"Dec 22, 2010: VUCC Award Support Testing -- VUCC support is being installed
and tested. When this upgrade is implemented, amateurs can use LoTW to
apply for awards based on Maidenhead grid squares, such as VUCC and the Fred
Fish Memorial Award."

All,
My heartiest of congratulations to all the Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station (ARISS) volunteers and their international
sponsoring organizations on this, the 10th anniversary of the first Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) school group contact.
It is breathtaking to see all that you have done this past decade. Ham
radio operations on ISS started with the first Moscow/USA checkout contact
on November 13, 2000?just 11 days after Expedition 1 took up residence on
ISS. That paved the way for the historic first school contact between the
students at the Burbank School in Burbank, Illinois and Bill Shepherd,
KD5GSL on December 21, 2000. Long-time ARISS volunteer Charlie Sufana,
AJ9N, mentored that first contact?preparing the Burbank students, teachers
and community for an activity that they will remember for the rest of their
lives. Since then, the ARISS team?s volunteer spirit and can-do attitude
have kept the ARISS stations on ISS operational the entire decade--through
all 26 crew expeditions. Over 560 schools or organizations have performed
ARISS contacts -- inspiring tens of thousands of students and enabling
millions and millions, worldwide, to experience the human spaceflight
journey and to share in the excitement and camaraderie of the ham radio
hobby. The international team has installed antennas and equipment in
several ISS modules, deployed SuitSat, delivered ARISSat, and a school
contact was a prominent ?star? in the IMAX ISS 3D movie. Most importantly,
you have inspired a legion of students to pursue careers in science,
technology, engineering and math.
On my desk is a copy of NASA?s ?Reference Guide to the ISS.? I recently
noticed that on the back cover is a beautiful photograph of ISS with the Sun
shining prominently on one of the ARISS antennas mounted on the Russian
Service Module. That photograph reminds me of a story from the U.S.
Constitutional Convention when statesmen Benjamin Franklin, looking towards
the president's chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be
painted, observed to a few members near him, that painters had found it
difficult to distinguish in their art a rising sun from a setting sun.
Franklin said "I have often?looked at that behind the president without
being able to tell whether it was rising or setting: But now at length I
have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun."
Indeed?.the sun that shines over ARISS is a rising sun.
Congratulations to the ARISS international team and their sponsoring
organizations!!

Ed, Orbit 65199 was a mode B pass. The switch took place on 65201 @
20/12/2330z
to mode A, then again back to mode B on 65213 @ 21/12/2351z. Have you checked
the log book @ planetemily? I keep listening for you, but only work AA5AM,
KN6ZA or W7LRD on those passes...
