Greetings fellow satellite ops.

Sorry I have only had time to get on 2 passes from Gran Cayman a few days
ago. I
am wrapping up CQ WPX this afternoon/evening and I will try to make the
following two passes today.

AO-51: 22:10 UTC 3/27/11

VO-52  01:47 UTC  3/28/11

Hope to get more active in the coming days. Wednesday afternoon looks very
good
for several passes in the mid afternoon, more daily notices will be posted
as I
firm up my schedule.

Sebastian (W4AS) and I (LU6QI) made a QSO on AO7 in SSB Mode B at
22.55 UTC on March 26, 2011, during orbit 66404. The distance between
our respective QTHs is 6715 km
I also made others  QSOs  in these days on AO7 covering around 7000 km
The satellite is working wonderful  and I am QRV for other stations
from North America who would like to attempt a QSO either in SSB or
CW.
My grid locator is FF66TQ.

The AO-51 repeater uplink was switched to 145.88 on the 2215 pass
tonight. I realize there are multiple grid dxpeditions out and about,
but that does not excuse some of the operating I heard tonight. If
another station is in the middle of a QSO, stand by and let them finish.
If you start to transmit and can't hear yourself, or you hear someone
else  in the downlink, stop transmitting and let them make the call.
Finally, if you've worked that grid, or that station, or that country,
how about taking a breather and letting someone else work it for a new one.

Drew, I'm confused, at least as to the uplink info. Are you saying the only
V/U operation will now be 145.88/435.150? The web site is showing both that
one and 145.920/435.300 ???

As for the 'operating practices' you describe, you should listen more. That
is SOP on AO51 for many, many operators, unfortunately.

The more I read the BB, it seems like some have endorsed the idea that
getting grids are like an HF contest.  I need to get them all today.
Unfortunately, contesting has come to the birds in an indirect way. Get a
grid and allow someone else the opportunity to get one.

I think that's a great idea, unfortunately I didn't see this in time to
reprogram my ht. Maybe that's the answer, changing the uplink frequency at
random and posting that change here. I would have loved to be able to work
ZF2AE today, but with an ht it was impossible.

Here's the list of planned ops for tonight and tomorrow. Although EL93
isn't listed with certainty below, I'm confident that I'll be able to
get on at some point during the workday; we'll be in EL93 for about
three to four hours in the late morning. I'll send out a note tomorrow
when I know better.



AO51 - 28/1028Z - EL83

FO29 - 28/1047Z - EL83

AO7 - 28/1159Z - EL83 or EL93

AO51 - 28/2132Z - EL94

FO29 - 28/2203Z - EL94

AO7 - 28/2246Z - EL94

SO67 - 29/0133Z - FL04

VO52 - 29/0207Z - FL04 or FL05

Is SO-67 operating on the published frequencies (145.870/435.345) or
does one of up/down need an adjustment?

What is the meaning of "Use Narrow FM on the uplink" on the AMSAT detail
page for SO-67?  Not sure if I know of any such configuration on the
Yaesu FT-847.

ROFL, Yep!  That's your typical FM bird all right. A Circus.
CQ Breaker! CQ Breaker!  Let's Build More  Ten-Four!

Listening close, you can figure out why Drew had his little hissy-fit.

Important FM operating note:   When you hear Drew on the bird, let him pass
his grid or he'll switch modes on you.

Over & out.

Here is the web page for SO-67

http://www.amsatsa.org.za/

I heard you this morning and myself and another op tried calling you your
signal was weak but readable. Here's how I have my ht programmed:

SO67 A2 435.355 dn 145.875 up
SO67 A1 435.350 dn 145.875 up
SO67 MID 435.345 dn 145.875 up
SO67 L1 435.340 dn 145.875 up
SO67 L2 435.335 dn 145. 875 up

No tone and I don't use narrow fm.

Hope this helps.
