I am saddened to report the death of Leanore Guimont KA6UCD, the wife of
Dave,WB6LLO.For many years no Symposium would be complete without the Dave
and Leanore "jewelry" contest. In 1998, W2GFF beat out 100 entries by
correctly estimating the value of a chip capacitor ingrained into a bolo
tie.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dave. He has requested no cards or email
be sent.

I have not been on the sats the last couple of years for FD. Is FO-29
still the best bird for FD? Are there any other birds I can try?
Thanks,

Check the OSCAR status page to see what is up and running ...

Looks like I'll be programming AO-7, AO-27, FO-29, SO-50, AO-51, VO-52, and
the ISS - in appropriate modes - for the weekend!

This year I have to new 9100 and a rotor controller to let the computer
(MacDoppler) do everything (rotator and full doppler). What a way to go for
100 points :)

Yeah, but just think of the conversations you'll have with that
great-looking equipment up and running!
Heck, I sometimes take my M2 eggbeater to shows/fairs, and put it on a mast
and rotator ... I call it my "souffle antenna." NEVER fails to initiate
conversations ... (grin)

You going to be busy. Yes, that was my current list. I was just
wondering if anything had changed. I have had the best luck with
transponder birds. That would be VO-52 and FO-29, correct?
Thanks,

>From the Schedule tab, if you scroll down about 1/3 of the way in the
information pane at the bottom, you'll see a listing for "TOPR Epoch (UTC)".
If your data files are up-to-date, it should show "Saturday, May 28, 2011
16:40:40", the date and time of the most recent schedule upload to the
satellite.
To manually update the files, go to <http://www.ao27.org>, scroll down to the
"Source for TOPR Listings" section, and right-click on Epoch.txt and
TOPR.txt,
and save to the same folder where the lister program resides, overwriting any
previous copies.
Good luck on Field Day!!

It is, it's just a question of whether those "on times" coincide with
visibility
at your station...

Don't leave out AO-7... looks like it will be in Mode A at the start of FD,
and
switch to Mode B around 23:35 UTC. As long as no one runs too much uplink
power
(like some regulars who shall remain nameless...), causing it to FM, it's a
great bird!

That would be fun. I would like to operate a bird that is almost as
old as I am :o) I have never used AO-7 before. Do you think it is
doable with an arrow antenna? Will I need to try to use CW? I have
never used CW on the sats before.
Thanks,
Chris Maness
