Anyone have a good source for small run (100-250), photo QSL's with a
satellite-specific report format on them?
Or does everyone just custom design their own (and use a full-custom
supplier (front and back))?

I was looking for something and as usual found something other than what I
was looking for. Some of you might find this interesting. No - I will not be
appearing in the AETV series 'Hoarders' - I do not have that much junk just
a few treasures here an there.

AO-51 is indeed back to resetting each orbit. Keep an eye on
http://oscar.dcarr.org/ to see the current status. I'm going to work on
finding a power setting that might let us get through eclipses without
crashing. It would be very helpful to have plenty of reports on that page to
keep tabs on the bird. If I need to restart it, I either need to be up very
early, or make time and set an alarm to do it during the time I'm normally
at my real job.

Hi Bill and Dee,
I design my own using MS Publisher, and then I upload to Vistaprint
http://www.vistaprint.com/ for printing. You design the cards with .75" of
blank space on the bottom and the select their postcard template and upload
(postcards are 4.25 x 5.5, and QSL cards are 3.75 x 5.5, hence the .75"
blank space that you can cut off with scissors or a paper cutter). 100
cards are about $15-20 shipped ($6 +/- for shipping, $4/side for upload,
cards are free), sometimes as long as $6. Color backs are also an option.
Create the separate back and front files on MS Publisher, save as jpegs at
300dpi, and upload to Vistaprint.

Zack

Bill,
For the MM expedition I went on this past April, I just created a custom QSL
card in Windows Paint (don't laugh, my wife did and offered to do it in
PhotoShop) from various cut-and-paste scans, including some pictures from
the trip. I then waited for a deal from Kodak online and ordered 200 4x6
prints at 6 cents each. It was about $16 delivered in 4 days. Too easy.
You have to use business-size envelopes for the slightly bigger size, but
not a deal breaker. Lots of places offere even lower rates in bulk,
including Target, CVS, and Wal-mart. I'll email you the jpg and you can
cut-and-paste the report section if you like.
73,
Jerry, K5OE

Ah, yes... the Oscarlocator. Why I remember back in the day when...
I'll spare you all, except to say that if I recall correctly, once the
correct overlay was
selected, we would take nothing more than two pieces of data, the time of an
ascending equator crossing
(EQX abbreviation comes to mind), and the longitude of that crossing, then
just extrapolate
it out for other times. Seems like the orbit calendars that were printed in
the magazines listed
a half dozen or so orbits (a month?). From that minimal info you could "run"
your predictions out
fairly accurately for a good while. Seems like AO-10, being HEO, had
multiple overlays, no? or at least
one very squiggly looking one. Been a while.
There were rumors that guys were beginning to use computers to predict
passes, and to provide
realtime updates. But who would spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars,
have to input all of
those Keplerian elements, when the Oscarlocator will give you the same info?
Unthinkable. A passing fancy. :-)

Bill, Rusprint (google it) does mine. High quality. I had him do a back that
can be used for sat and other locations. I 'borrowed' the layout of John's

You can ask Darryl at Rusprint to look up my back of card and use that

One more for today... I am using a stereo digital recorder for logging. It
has a stereo 3.5mm mic socket.
I am using a "attenuating" patch cable from the HT audio into a "stereo
splitter" plugged into the mic input
(it has a stereo plug, and two mono sockets --- tip and base, and ring and
base). The other side of
the splitter has a mic. So the intent it to put the HT into one channel,
and the external mic (recording me)
into the other channel, when recording.
I am only hearing the HT audio on playback. I have a feeling that the plug
"base" connection is not ground --
it is on the ring or tip.
Any one have or know the signal assignment on a recorder mic jack? base,
ring , and tip? I would assume
it would also match the assignment of the mic input of a PC (if you know
that)?

Hi Pete, 2i0VAX
Probably you was not a satellite operator on those early days of OSCAR-10,
OSCAR-13 and AO40 and so you cannot understand and realize how
much easier it was to operate satellite with respect to the actual FM birds.
No automatic antenna tracking was needed and no automatic doppler
compensation was needed to work all Continents for hours with many
different stations all at the same time through the above wonderfull
HEO satellites, without any interference and it was much and much
better than on 20 meters.
OSCAR-10, OSCAR-13 and AO40 was the PHASE III of AMSAT but
actually the LEO FM satellites are getting AMSAT many steps back to
PHASE I

Hi Chuck,
In answer to your request concerning your old call WD9JFY:
My logs go back to 31 October 1979, and I don't find it, but that
doesn't mean we didn't work...I'm not exactly the best log keeper in the
world.
And as you remember it took four hands to do it all, specially on cw!!
Has any one else found you??

Standard 3.5mm stereo connector wiring is: shell is ground, tip is left
channel,
and ring is right channel.?
What kind of mic are you using?? If it is a condenser mic, make sure that the
recorder is providing bias voltage on BOTH tip and ring of the mic jack.? Test
it by plugging the mic into each input jack of the splitter, without the radio
cable plugged in. ?Also, some recorders have a "line/mic" switch to select the
input level, and if set to line, will probably not supply bias voltage on the
mic jack.

Hi All,
I received QSL cards from Yuri, UT1FG?s, most recent /mm expedition
yesterday via his manager, UX0FY. I was missing 5 grids/QSOs, so I
forwarded the list to Eugene, UX0FY, and he forwarded them onto Yuri. I
received an email from Yuri last night and he said that he would have the
additional card in the mail, and he also said as a side note that he would
be back out in the water this October. We can all look forward to that!
For those of you that have sent cards to either Yuri or his manager via
direct, I would not be surprised if it took a month to get there. It took
about 1 month for my letter to get to Eugene, and then it took another 2
weeks for his return to get to me, so be patient.
For those of you that are waiting to send your requests, I would go ahead
and pack your request up now. The choice is really up to you as far as if
you want to send it to Yuri or his manager. I have heard success stories
both ways. I would not send several QSL cards. I would send one card with
the first QSO listed (just for Yuri?s collection), and then I would send an
Excel/ HRD spreadsheet with all of the QSO dates, times, AND GRIDS listed in
a very easy to understand format. I sent $2 US with mine per Eugene?s
request, and I never was able to determine if he did receive the $2 or if it
had been pilfered. I did hear from Eugene that they had decided to send all
cards unsolicited, but I would still send a request with one QSL card, a
spreadsheet with all QSOs listed, and $2/IRC for a return to help defray
costs.
Email was extremely beneficial during this process. Both Yuri and Eugene?s
email addresses on QRZ.com are correct. If you do send an email, and do not
receive a response within a couple days, resend it. I had to resend mine
once before it made it to Eugene. Requesting read-receipts are also helpful
for ensuring your email made it if it does not require a response from them.
I would not recommend sending several repetitive emails to either of them.
I would send one when you send your request and ask them to email you when
they receive it. Eugene was very good at letting me know when he received
mine. He will then let you know once he sends the return, and then you can
email him and confirm once you receive it.
If anyone has questions, feel free to email me. As I said, just be patient
during this process as it may take a while. If you have sent something and
it has been 1-2 months and you have not heard anything, I would email
whoever you sent it to and check if they have received it.
73!

I wanted to re-state something... If you have not sent your cards, I would
send them to Yuri's manager, Eugene, UX0FY. If you have already sent them
to Yuri, don't worry about it. From what I have gathered, it appears that
if Yuri does receive any he hands them off to Eugene. I would direct all
future requests to Eugene.
