Having a computer controlled, full duplex station with azimuth and
elevation rotation, receiver pre-amplifiers, and high gain antennas is
nice.
Being able to point your small yagi antenna at the sky and work an FM
transponder anywhere in the world with a HT is nice.
Both scenarios require a common element for success: the operator's skill.
Rather than attack others' ideas of a "perfect satellite station," why
not try to support each other in becoming better operators?
Having the right equipment is truly important. Having the right
skills to operate, in my opinion, is much more important. It is
doubtful that everyone on this mailing list will ever agree what
comprises "the ultimate satellite station." While some favor
flexibility of portable operation, others may strictly utilize the
highest gain antennas available.
Next time you hear some bad operating practices, consider writing a
kind note to the offending station. Be considerate that the station
may be unaware of their satellite faux-pas. Perhaps they are new and
have had little guidance from an Elmer. Take the opportunity to
welcome the station and introduce them to the "right way" of doing
things even if they are not using your favorite radio or antenna.
Good ham radio operating skills are not typically an inherent quality
of man -- it takes time to develop them. At some point in history,
you made your first contact.

My phone rebooted during the pass so I lost the audio recording. I'm
pretty sure the station I QSOed with was N0JA but I cant recall the grid
square (DN?)
If anyone has audio they can send or if the operator I QSOed with could
contact me it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
After the positive reaction to the videos I posted to YouTube yesterday,
I added three more from passes I worked today. The first video was from
the 1527 UTC VO-52 pass:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K10RiIEyjfE
Then the 1936 UTC AO-27 pass:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0IdEPsajkU
I then tried FO-29's 2043 UTC pass:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP80fVF9Lek
I used the same equipment on today's VO-52 and AO-27 passes as I used
yesterday. For the FO-29 pass, I swapped out the TH-F6A and used my
second FT-817ND with its better receiver for the weaker downlink. The
antenna on all of these passes was the same Elk handheld 2m/70cm log
periodic I normally use. Videos were recorded with a Sony DSC-H70
camera which makes 720p videos.
If you want to have an idea of how much adjusting I do to the VFOs on
my radios, just watch closely when I reach for the radios on the table
(or whatever other location I have them set up in my other videos). I
always set my transmitting radio on the left, and the receiver on the
right. This has let me get to the point where working SSB/CW satellites
with a portable two-radio setup has become essentially automatic,
wherever I happen to be operating, over the past 3+ years - determine
which way is North, set up my gear, and start making QSOs.
Even with being comfortable with my current portable setup, I'm always
looking to experiment. I've been using different radios for the SSB/CW
downlinks, and I know I should get a tripod to hold my antenna. I also
want to get around to trying SatPC32 with my two FT-817NDs, since I
have the software and the cables to connect both radios to my netbook.
Then there's more operating from wherever I happen to go. More for the
satellite to-do list... :-)
73!

Gentelmen:
Thank you for your input. I've measured 2.4:1 at it's intended design
frequency, using a half wave stub.
The antenna is essentially two loops (one capacitive and one inductive) in
parallel, giving an intended 50 Ohm resistive impedance at resonance. I'm
measuring 25 Ohms and a bit inductive. Do have more data if anyone is
interested. (smith chart, return loss)
Tomorrow I'll build both versions, lhcp and rhcp. Tonight's live demo on
so50 shows promise, though I'll need two and have to switch polarity.

Hi Bryan,
As Dave, KB1PVH replied, it was N0JE in DN86 you worked. I listened
to my recording and you worked him at 2122z today.

All audio files of the message by children of all the countries of
the world sent to by ARISSat-1 and the translated sentence were
uploaded in SatBlog of the DK3WN station. I can guess that it would
be hard to collect these messages. This is a laborious work.

RADIATION STORM IN PROGRESS: Solar protons accelerated by this morning's
M9-class solar flare are streaming past Earth. On the NOAA scale of
radiation storms, this one ranks S3, which means it could, e.g., cause
isolated reboots of computers onboard Earth-orbiting satellites and
interfere with polar radio communications. An example of satellite effects:

Commercial AM radio was acting strange this morning. A station that I
only receive at night time (DX) was covering a daytime station that I
don't usually have an issue with. That was backwards to what I
thought would happen during a solar event.
