Does anyone have or know of anyone that has a good quality copy of the AMSAT
logo I can use on a Power Point presentation? I have permission to use it,
but I can not find any good ones. I found several that have the white
background behind them, but I need one that I can overlay on a (eg) grey
background and not have the white rectangular box around the logo. I did
find one - http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/misc/logo/official-scan.gif - but
the graphics where really bad (very rough edges) when overlaid on a grey
background. I see several on the AMSAT website, so I know there are some
out there.
Thanks!

Hi Glen, K9STH
I agree completely with you and via OSCAR-10, OSCAR-13 and AO40 as
well in HF when calling stations in South America I realized that for best
understanding it was better to use geographical linguage instead of the ICAO
phonetics and my call letters i8CVS becomes Italia Ocho Canada' Victoria
Santiago or Italia Ocho Condensador Valvula Sintonia and with QRM,QSB
and weak signals my call was better understud by people of espanish
linguage.
By the way when calling stations in USA the ICAO phonetics Italy Eight
Charlie Victor Sierra sounded better for me.

I am receiving numerous E-Mails from people who definitely agree that when

Basically, everyone is chasing their tail. That is, those who think that
the ICAO phonetics are sacred and need to be used no matter what against
those who believe that certain circumstances require using an alternative

One needs to look at the public safety arena where the ICAO phonetics are
just not used. If the ICAO phonetics are so great then why is there an APCO
phonetic alphabet? The basic answer is that public safety organizations
have found that the ICAO phonetics just don't do a good job. Therefore, the
APCO phonetic alphabet.
I can assure you that this discussion will never end because those who
insist that the ICAO phonetics must be used no matter what seldom realize
that they are no panacea and that alternate phonetics do have a place in

Not wanting to be a naysayer, but this was discussed a few weeks ago
on Amsat-bb with the word from the mission staff that no external
power connection was provided. In other words it runs on
solar-charged batteries. Of course, we know they had some sort of
"bench power connection" for testing. I hope the "folks" on the ISS
are good technicians and can "rig up" something. There was a concern
the batteries might drop off in storage until this summer when the
"Main Show" is to happen.
Of course maybe they can "duck tape" it outside and let it run on the
panels/batteries? OK that was in jest (humor).
I only have operational is a 2m Lindenblad CP omni directional
antenna that is probably not good enough to hear ARISSat when down at
the horizon and at max range. Just luck that my 2m-eme system is out
of commission at present else I would had a excellent receiver.

This is not intended as a "troll", or written with any attitude.
Today's 3:30 EDT AO-51 pass was the first pass I have tried to
work on a LEO in a long time (years). Blew the dust
off the FT-530 and Arrow and sat out in the parking lot at work.
Was that pretty typical (i.e. quantity of stations) now for a
mid-afternoon, weekday pass over the US?
What about the very early morning passes?

Come up with a documented, better phonetic alphabet and get it
internationally recognized and recommended and then this discussion will go
away (or at least be changed to an argument between the old and new
standard). As long as there is no official alternative (and I don't give a
rip about how long the geographic non-documented non-standard has been
used), the internationally recognized standard is what should be used. You
can play your word games all day long on DX, but as soon as you start
working emcomm - you'd better be using the accepted standard or you're
putting people's lives at stake.

I did not listen to the AO-51 pass you mention, but I would guess it was
very crowded as is common. I will not comment on a guess but I will say that
early morning passes are generally less crowded and "laid back". If you are
up for the VERY early morning passes of SO-50...come join me, I'm often by
myself.

Hi all.
I have a minor (probably operator error) with the TLM software.
Is there a way to get the audio to feed through to the PC speakers? I've
tried Spectran and Spectraview without problem, but the ARISSat software
does not appear to send audio out on my system. I cant hear the radio as I
have a jack in the headphone socket which mutes the radio's speaker.
The software is working. I can decode the CW callsign and locator of a 2m
beacon and the level is controlled nicely with the windows 'microphone'
record level.
It's not muted
It's got the correct input selected and the gain turned up.
But.....no audio out...so I'm just setting the frequency by visually
putting the signal in the right place.
