SO-50 was pretty hard I am used to having the stand that got totally
smashed...
Going to try these passes:
AO-27 1:45
SO-50 1:58
AO-51 2:52 & 4:30
That's my time so whatever. Loved all the QRM yesterday bring it on I got
killer solar panels you freaks!

Does anyone have contact information for Bruce, VE9QRP ?
I've seen his postings on the BB before but have lost the file.
Thanks,

Hello,
I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to contact the 911 special
event station, NW2C, at Ft. Totten NY. One of their members put together a
video tribute from his experience's on that tragic day as well as video from
the special event, thank you. http://vimeo.com/29077529

Update #5
Mon, 19 Sep 2011 03:20:32 PM CDT
As of Sept. 19, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 130 mi by 143 mi (210 km by
230 km). Re-entry is expected Sept. 23, plus or minus a day.
Does anyone have any other better way to try to keep track of this thing?

AMSAT South Africa shows that all Amateur activations are suspended on SO-67
yet the Satellite status page on amsat.org still show green arrows for V and
U on this satellite. Please I would suggest changing this status
information to reflect the state of things as they currently are not what we
would want them to be. I know the link on the right does ultimately point
the reader to the authoritative information, but yet the status grid seems
to give the impression to the not so familiar viewer and satellite that they
might have success with this bird.
Hoping the best for the new projects that the SA AMSAT folks have on the
development track.

It's been updated. Please, someone remind me when it comes back to change
the status back.

I will mail QSL cards to all my contacts on my portable operations the first
week of October. I also uploaded today's DM56 San Juan County New Mexico
contacts into LoTW showing the correct grid and location for me. I'll go
back and see if I can change my previous LoTW entries to reflect the actual
grid I was in. I'll try to be in as many different grids this month as I can
until it starts snowing (which it already has in the high country).

Sorry Jim got called back to work and we had to jam home. Sorry for the
upset for those I intended to give out 21,10,11. However we will be
returning the property turned out to be pretty decent. I did take note of
the DN10,11 boundry for the next trip.
I do have pictures of the grids 00,20 and 21 for those who got them I can
send copies with any cards needed please send a card with your info, no SASE
needed.

Glad to see there is a CubeSat proposing to use 5.8 GHz, see

Over the next few days I will *attempt* to activate grids DM84, DM85,
and possibly DM86/DM96 in the Texas Panhandle region using AO-27,
AO-51, and potentially SO-50. I've scouted a few places where I can
operate these grids in relative proximity to where I will be working.

North
Message-ID:

Guys and gals
I have a modest setup here observing Arissat-1 with a yagi fixed in azimuth
and elevation and automatically reording. The sstv signal is detectable
without a one transitor preamp but only reproducable with it.? The most
important thing about the
setup is the orientation of the receive antenna. It is pointing at
approximately 210 degrees and is fixed.
You might ask why not set it at the aizmuth of the maximum elevation, which
is what I always do for
telemetry cubesats. First of all my answer is that I get
better pictures at this azimuth. Secondly as I said to Colin G1IVG I think I
know
why.
If you go to the front page of my
website http://www.andythomas.eu and scroll down you'll see a sequence
of photos I took of the ISS as seen in my telescope. I was surprised how the
attitude of the spacecraft changed as it approached 51.6 degrees
(the orbital inclination and therefore the maximum latitude
subsatellite), then went away relatively southbound (and of course
eastbound). We are at 52.48 degrees North. My thesis is that Arissat-11,
which is on more or less the same orbital inclnation, exhibits the same
change in attitude as it reaches 51.6 latitude, relative to us, so the
antenna is not shielded and therefore the signal level peaks. As the signal
level is marginal I can detect this slight improvement.
I've sent a copy of this to theWelland Valley ARS for comments and would
appreciate your comments too.
