Ok guys, my first time USING the ELK in my hand, not my first contact. I
have snuck it up on the roof fixed position a lot, no antenna's allowed, and
got tired of only hearing a small part of the pass. It works great if you
point it in the right place. I am used to an array and two rigs at my
brothers...
Anywho, just thought I would clear that up. Not exactly sure who keeps AO-51
working but thanks again!

Yes, ARRL has had a lot of problems with the conversion of VUCC to the
LOTW system. Lots of problems. My e-mail from earlier this week has
attracted a lot of responses, and some action. Maybe they are about to
wrap up the bug-fixing there. I'm not sure, but for the first time since late
February ARRL has updated the satellite VUCC standings at:
http://www.arrl.org/vucc-standings
It had last been updated on 24 February, despite other VUCCs having
their stats updated in recent days on that page.
If ARRL is now processing VUCC applications via LOTW, I would hope
they also restart processing the paper applications as well. Now is a
good time to pursue the matter, and next week at Dayton (for those
who will be there) may be the best time of all. I still need to get the
actual certificate and any other paperwork that is supposed to be sent
out, but at least I'm in the satellite VUCC listing at that link today.

My $0.02.... LOTW has worked well for terrestrial operating, and any
operating that involved a single grid per station location. Multiple grid
locators for a station location were obviously not planned for in the
original LOTW. ARRL may be getting things to work properly now, but
it has been a long time coming. Too much has been invested by ARRL
HQ to throw LOTW out the window, despite a relatively small number
of hams being registered in that system (current LOTW user count is
just over 41000). It appears to work well for DXCC, and I have not
heard much about those who have tried applying for WAS with LOTW.
There are still glitches in that system for VUCC, namely how it isn't
always picking up all the grids from a station in more than one grid.
I've heard about that one many times from other satellite operators
who worked me from various grid boundaries, and seen it with some
of my LOTW QSLs, to know it is still an issue.
Along with the long wait for VUCC support to into LOTW and the
post-implementation problems that continue to pop up, the increase in
VUCC fees does not help the ARRL's case to drum up more usage of
LOTW at all. I will pay as much for my VUCC application with 113 LOTW
confirmations and a certificate as I did for an application to get 3 DXCC
certificates a few years ago. I still have to pay a few more pesos if I
want a VUCC pin. And wasn't DXCC supposed to be (quoting from
http://www.arrl.org/dxcc ) "Amateur Radio's premier award"? Based on
price alone, it looks like VUCC is more prestigious than DXCC these
days. The new VUCC fee structure would be another good point of
discussion with the ARRL people at Dayton next week.
I've said my piece. Everything in the past two paragraphs has been said
in e-mails and face-to-face conversations with ARRL people over the past
few months. I hope that the VUCC-related problems in LOTW get fixed
once and for all. I also hope ARRL takes another look at the VUCC fee
structure. Until then, I will continue to upload my satellite QSOs to LOTW
as I print and mail out QSL cards. No changes there. Office-supply
stores and the post office will still see me as a regular customer. :-)
73!

AO-51 is back, was nice surprise see the bird active again on the QRP
repeater. Heard several stations saounding like nice music to my ears.

Frank,
I just cruised by the SATPC32 web site and find that there is a patch for
the IC-9100 on the download page. According to the explanation, this
version will not work with the IC-910, though a full version is on the way.

I am not sure if there is a "formal" alliance 'tween AMSAT, the AO-51

Hi John, yes was active in that pass, but was working in QRP Frequencies, Up
145.880 Dn 435.150. Was strange because I was trying to hear the activity of
ground stations and Ups, several stations were there including N8MH.
But looks like was too soon to celebrate, in the followed pass didn't hear
nothing.
Will see what happens next days, and of course the official info

We've been turning the satellite on, and off, manually on passes over North
America when a command station is available. This has generally been the
afternoon passes, and only on an as-available basis. Uplink is 145.880,
Downlink 435.150.

Jim,
I always ask that question. Depending on who you talk with, you get
slightly different versions of the same answer. The FT-847 went out of
production due parts availability. Like many here, they equate satellite
with P3 HEO, and feel that until that happens, there is no justification for
the additional engineering work to bring out an updated version. I have
been told there is a notional design for one. Others have gotten different
versions. Will ask again.

Unless they keep getting questions about it, they won't know there's a

David Rowe, VK5DGR, had to cancel his trip to Dayton and won't be able to
speak at the AMSAT/TAPR Banquet next week.
We are pleased to announce that Bob Bruninga, WB4APR will be the speaker
for the 2011 AMSAT/TAPR Banquet.
Friday May 20, 2011, Kohler Presidential Banquet Center, Kettering, OH
Bob's topic is "Power from Space and in Your Shack" (see the abstract
below).
For more information and to make dinner reservations, visit
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/hamvention/2011/Banquet.php ASAP because
reservations must be made in advance and close end-of-day on Monday. May 16.

"Power from Space and in Your Shack"
By Bob Bruninga, WB4APR
Last year Solar energy passed from a niche market for greenies to an
economic opportunity that beats money in the bank. The monetary return
for every dollar on your roof can exceed 10% per year for life which far
exceeds the security of any other investment in a bank or our fickle
economy. But this economic advantage is overlooked, misunderstood or
wasted by many hams because of our warped and twisted prior love-affairs
with batteries and generators on which we depend for field-day and
emergency power.
To fully grasp today's economics of renewable energy we must learn to
completely separate our needs for economical energy 99.9% of the time
from our desires for emergency power for only 0.1% of the time. There
are economical solutions for both but they are separate and mutually
exclusive.
Further, over the last decades there has been a hidden evolution of
power supplies in every aspect of our daily lives. Everything we do
with energy from our ham shack to our big screen TV depends on this
technology but it has also provided us with unbelievable versatility to
access power from just about any source from 100 to 240 VAC or 100 to
330 VDC or any voltage down to 12 volts.. Where to find power? Have you
looked on the roof of your house or under the hood of your car recently?
The better that hams understand these subtle evolutionary changes in
energy, the better we are prepared not only for Field Day, for
emergencies but also for the future of our families.

I think the Chinese radios will come out with a Satellite Radio- ALL Mode
DC to Daylight for about $750. Something like this popular dual band
(Woxan?) that I have seen and heard about that many hams are buying up like
candy lately. Just heard one new one on the air in the last hour.
See all the AMSAT people in Dayton...

Jim,
I always ask that question. Depending on who you talk with, you get
slightly different versions of the same answer. The FT-847 went out of
production due parts availability. Like many here, they equate satellite
with P3 HEO, and feel that until that happens, there is no justification for
the additional engineering work to bring out an updated version. I have
been told there is a notional design for one. Others have gotten different
versions. Will ask again.

I keep wondering if/when Yaesu will bring out a replacement for the FT-847.
If anybody is going to Dayton this year, PLEASE ask them.
Unless they keep getting questions about it, they won't know there's a
market for it.

Frank,
I just cruised by the SATPC32 web site and find that there is a
patch for
the IC-9100 on the download page. According to the explanation, this
version will not work with the IC-910, though a full version is on
the way.

Well the IC9100 has hit the market, when is SATPC32 going to be
updated to
accommodate this new offering from ICOM?
