I am sure I am not the only one that gave you the same advice, use the A
side VFO to RX and the B VFO to TX. Unfortunately you cannot program cross
band odd splits on the TH-D72, but it only adds one extra memory per sat.
The downside is, is that you have to switch between VFO's to change the RX
freq to adjust for doppler and switch the the other VFO to TX again, it can
be simplified somewhat with the use of the SMC-33 speaker/mic with
programmable buttons. It is a very nice HT to have

Well, I finally got my fifth one and sent in the report to Damon. I think I
am going to propose tonight on the Houston AMSAT Net that we offer a 29 in
EL29 award. I am sure over the years there probably have been that many sat
ops in this grid. Bruce, KK5DO, is an experienced awards manager, so I am
sure he will know how to organize this...

Hi to all, I'm looking for any reports about the operations on the new
mission of Edusat satellite, I've tried to receive TLM or other signals in
the period of coverage of the bird ( over US and EU) in UHF freq. But
nothing heard.. is there a possible failure in the mission?

Bruce didn't take me seriously about wanting to draft him for the "29 in
EL29" award manager, so I hereby submit my list of ops worked in EL29. My
list doesn't go back to the glory days of (early) AO-7, AO-10, and AO-13,

The ops in Dallas (EM12/13) and San Antonio (EL09) are going to have an
easier time, but the ops in NorCal (CM87) and NFL (EL88/98/99) will have a
tough time keeping up with this "competition."

OK, how about putting some teeth into it: 12 in EM12.
That's 12 "satellites", though.
Kinda like Amsat Field Day rules. With a few twists.
RULE NUMBER 1: Contacts are only valid if they are between Amsat members.
OR, if you really can't afford to join Amsat (no hard feelings, times are
tough) but if you can certify (via Amsat receipt) that you have made a
donation to Amsat at some time during the period of your contacts (i.e.
between the first and last qualifying contacts). So put $5 or $10 (or
more!) toward the AMSAT-NA ARISSat-1 and Fox fund if you can't afford a
full membership.
This is unashamedly intended to help increase membership and funding for
these fine satellites, and future satellites.
Other rules:
Each modulation mode (e.g. CW, SSB, FM, SSTV, PSK-31, DV?) and each
satellite mode (e.g. V/U, U/V, L/S) on a satellite count as a separate
"satellite".
You could conceivably do it in much fewer than 12 actual satellites.
AO-7 SSB and CW on both Mode A (V/A) and Mode B (U/V) would be four contacts!
One contact per mode per satellite means that you need to
spread/challenge/increase your talents. FM voice on AO-51, SO-50, ISS (is
the repeater working?) etc. won't do it all for you. FO-29, VO-52,
ARISSat become important. And don't forget packet! MESSAGES through
mailboxes like NO-44 (no beacons).
Get out and exercise the birds and your capabilities! I'm sure there are
enough satellite ops in EM12 to make it work. It likely won't be a one
weekend effort, but that fact may stimulate longer term activity on the
birds.
This is a PROPOSAL though, to stimulate discussion and interest. If there
is any, I am willing to process entries and send out awards, and hopefully
there are other EM12s who would be interested in helping, too!
Your thoughts?
73,
Jerry

excerpt from SPACEFLIGHT NOW
An "emergency situation" occurred during today's launch of a robotic Russian
resupply ship headed for the International Space Station,
preventing the Soyuz rocket from placing the freighter into orbit.
Liftoff of the Soyuz booster carrying the Progress vessel from the Baikonur
Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan occurred at 9:00 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT),
beginning Russia's 44th such cargo delivery mission to the space station.
But the Russian space agency says a problem with the upper stage propulsion
system caused a premature shutdown and the vehicle's
catastrophic failure.
Heard that the remains crashed about 300KM from launc pad?

Here in London, we have free access to the Russia Today TV station. The
launch failure is the major news item. They report it was due to a third
stage failure. Even had an interview with an eye witness who said the area
where it crashed was an area popular with people picking nuts in the summer.
The next lauch was due on October 28th and they are speculating this will be
brought forward.
The report is probably available on the web site www.rt.com
They also said that a satellite launched on August 18th (The EDUSAT
launch?) suddenly veered off course. - Not sure if this was a single
satellite or the whole launch vehicle
Thanks
David

I guess the ISS Crew is going to have to brush up on their "rock,
paper, scissors" skills to see who gets dessert until another supply
rocket is shot up!
[I am only kidding, I read already they have enough supplies to last
them till the next supply ship is launched]
With that said, I am very curious on what is NASA's contingency plan
if our Russian friends for whatever reason can't or won't deliver
fulfill their promise?
