Subject: [amsat-bb] Magnetic North vs True North
The earlier discussion on this topic caused me to think about my setup.
I know the tracking programs use True North; my question: If my
declination is 8 ? 6' West, is my true north East or West of Magnetic
North. I am currently setup to where my True North is 8? East of
Magnetic North. I have looked a various sights on the Internet but I
have always had a problem wrapping my thick brain around this topic.
Thanks,

Hi Carl, W8KRF
Using a simple magnetic compass I suggest you to look at the Magnetic
North and then compare the above North position with that of the Pole
Star that indicates the True North.
To find the Pole Star in the True North direction in a clear sky is very
easy because the Pole Star elevation in the sky is equal to your Latitude.
With the above informations you can easily establish if your True North
is 8? 6' East or West of Magnetic North.
FYI Magnetic declination, sometimes called magnetic variation, is the
angle between magnetic north and true north. Declination is considered
positive east of true north and negative when west.
Magnetic declination changes over time and with location.

Looks fine (under wine) with Ubuntu LTS. Also looks like

Hi,
Looked to see what I had on Prospero from the previous attempts to hear it.
This might be of interest. I only have this fragment, not the entire paper, or
section 4.4 ?more's the pity.

Accession Number : AD0734634
Title : ? Orbital Operations Handbook for the X3 Satellite.
Descriptive Note : Technical rept.,
Corporate Author : ROYAL AIRCRAFT ESTABLISHMENT FARNBOROUGH (ENGLAND)
Personal Author(s) : Adams,V. W.
Report Date : AUG 1971
Pagination or Media Count : 63
Abstract : The X3 satellite, the first technological spacecraft in the British
National Space Programme, is scheduled to be launched on a Black Arrow vehicle
in late 1971. The spacecraft carries experiments to investigate performance of
solar cells, characteristics of thermal surfaces, micrometeoroid flux and
performance in orbit of a hybrid electronics package: section 4.4 gives
details.
In addition newly developed data, telemetry, telecommand and power system will
be tested in orbit. The micrometeoroid flux experiment has been contributed by
the University of Birmingham, England. (Author)

Hi Vince, KB7ADL
I too have always used the Polaris and found this procedure very
satisfactory for the accuracy and backlash of the gears in our amateur
rotator for VHF and UHF antennas.
For the S band at 2400 MHz and a 1.2 meter dish to calibrate the Azimuth and
Elevation I use the Sun Noise but the rotators have negligible backlash and
the position readout can estimate +/- 0.25?

If you are attending the ARRL SW Division Convention in Torrance this
Saturday ...
AND if you've been thinking of purchasing either an Elk 2M/440L5 Log
Periodic, an
Arrow 146/437-10WBP, or Premier AL-800 ...
Then have I got a couple deals for you!
In conjunction with Ham Radio Outlet - Anaheim, mention "K6LCS Sat Special" at
the HRO booth at the show, and get a couple bucks off the show price on the
AL-800 and/or the Arrow ... and an impressive price of $82.95 for the Elk!
AND THERE'S MORE! Bring your receipt from the purchase of a Yaesu FT-60R that
you purchased from the fine folks at the HRO booth on Saturday to me - and the
first four who do so will be handed a Smiley 270A antenna! I will be at the
show
from 7:30AM to dinner time on Saturday. Find me working the sats from the
parking structure at the times posted all over the event. Or see me right
before,
during, or after my satellite show in Suites 9-11 which begins at Noon. Go
ahead
and interrupt the session - I only have FOUR of these great antennas to give
away!

I have noticed on a number of daytime passes over the Southern US that
the satellite is ON at AOS but within a minute or so switches off, NO
FM, CW beacon or BPSK.
Is this what is considered normal and I did not interpert the operation
scheme correctly.
Secondly,
I have been sending in telemetry reports, should we hear that they are
accepted ?

Other than compensating for the small drift in the satellite's
onboard clock, the Java app is pretty accurate. My app is
showing the start time for the repeater on that Saturday
afternoon pass at 21:47:16 UTC, which would match up
with a west-coast pass between 2141-2155 UTC. Unless
the onboard clock and schedule have been reset, expect
the start time to be a minute or two before the predicted
time.
Good luck and 73!

Hi All,
I will make my annual trip to Mt. Nebo, AR for the Sept VHF contest. I will
use our contest
call NE5BO from Thursday afternoon (9-8-2011) until Monday morning
(9-12-2011) If you
work me and need a card from EM35, just send me an email with the
information, and I will
send you a QSL next week.
Also, there will be other operators in our group using their own call. So,
there's no reason you
can't mark that grid off your list.
Also, Frank K4FEG will be on another mountain top operating from EM24. FM
birds only.
Good luck,
Rick WA4NVM
