I agree totally! about 90% of my VO-52 passes have no one on the band. 52
is good and strong nearly all of the time, sometimes even as low as -2
degrees at aos/los.

Looking for some advice, please
Tried real hard to work AO27 on an 80 degree + pass this afternoon, using
the TS 2000 in Sat Mode. No good results because of the 'birdies' inherent
in the radio. (tried the narrow FM deal - no luck). As I look at Page 103
of the TS2000 manual I see that while using the main VFO at 436.799 that
there is no rx possible. Since AO27's down link is at 436.795, it seems that
the 'birdie issue' is on the 440 side of the TS-2000.
So, what I thought I would try on those 80+degree passes over me, is to use
a 2m/440 mobile rig on RX (with a dual band vertical realizing that the
vertical is not optimum)l) and use the TS-2000 for Doppler TX. I can program
the mobile like the Clint HT step Doppler deal. This is all temporary but
I'm so sick of AO51, I would like to try for some new grids. Need about 30
for VUCC.
Any TS2000 wizards out there would be appreciated

Today was very productive with three new wet grids being put into logs
on five different satellites. Tomorrow should make at least two new
grids (BM35 and BM45) available, and a third one (BM55) is possible.
Here's where I expect to be QRV for tomorrow:
AO7 - 24/1736Z
AO27 - 24/2236Z (approx turn on time)
FO29 - 25/0249Z
VO52 - 25/0519
And these are the passes occurring during the business day that I'll
make if time permits:
VO52 - 24/1827Z
AO27 - 25/0017Z (approx turn on time)
AO51 - 25/0036Z
FO29 - 25/0105Z
AO51 - 25/0212Z

Ted I added a AR2 preamp at the antenna ,it did not stop the birdy but it
allows me to hear through it{no duplex}.I cant hear my self until the signal
passes the birdy but signals are there With the preamp when I transmitt It
goes in bypass and the birdy wipes me out but in rx mode I can hear .

Hello Mike -
I use schedule 40 PVC with an OAK closet pole down the center for
added stiffness
for a horizontal boom.
For vertical mast I use two PVC schedule 40 - one inside the other -
along with a wood pole.
I use PVC end caps on the ends to keep water/ moisture out.

Bruce

I acquired a fair amount of windsurfer mast at a garage sale and have
used it successfully as a mast for a 3 element 6M beam and also as a
support for a 40M inverted vee with no problems yet. I have clamped two
pieces together with hose clamps to get about 22 feet of height with no
guying. Each individual mast is about 15 feused it for vertical antennas and stands up excellent to the

Hi Ted,
I had the same problem, so never worked AO-27 and SO-50 years ago. Then
I took your approach, hooked up my IC-706MkIIG as the receiver, problem
solved. So then installed an antenna switch to move the 440 antenna between
the Kenwood and Icom. I programmed 145.850 in a memory for transmit
and move the Icom vfo manually to track the downlink. I never change the
transmit frequency and use the computer program for antenna position only.
Your mobile rig should work just fine on the downlink if you don't have a
real
long coax run. I might add, I do have a preamp at my antenna also, like
Damon.
I use the TS-2000 "solo" for all other satellites.
73,
Rick WA4NVM

It works well to fill a PVC pipe with a wood dowel the size of the pipe's
inner diameter. Then you just need to weatherproof the ends of the pipe
with caps or otherwise.

But if you fill it with the wood dowels, they stay relatively straight and
also won't get crushed by the antenna U-bolts.

PVC will help keep the SWR down by keeping the distance the antenna is from
another structure or possible ground that may cause an SWR or effect the
radation pattern of your antenna system. Use a wooden closet rod and insert
it inside the PVC pipe and put it up and enjoy.

I have for sale a Kenwood TM-7A 2m/70cm dualband, dual receive FM
transceiver. I bought this to use on the FM satellites and it has been
working great on them so far.
The dual receive capability makes it work very nicely for FM satellite use.
I am only selling it because
I replaced it with a HF/VHF/UHF radio so I can get on the SSB satellites as
well.
It also has a built in duplexer so you can run a dualband antenna with it
into
the single SO239 on the rear. It does 45 watts on 2m and 35 watts on 70cm,
has
PL tones built in, alphanumeric lables for the memory channels, and has 4
hypermemories for returning to a specific configuration at the push of a
button.
It comes with the mic, power cord, mobile bracket, and original box. It does
not have the manual with it but you can find those on line. The display
works fine on it. There is one line that appears from time to time on the
display
but it doesn't interfere with anything.
I am asking $175 shipped and can take paypal/check/MO.
