I was trying to do another configuration on SatPC32, when I clicked on
Configuration 2 I get a pop up that says E/H Fehler 105 and I can't get out
of the loop. Any suggestions?

Hi David,
Here is my advice:
If you choose circular, you really need to be able to switch between RHCP
and LHCP. If you are fixed on only one polarity, you are worse off then
just using vertical (or horizontal).
So, if you cannot switch, I suggest vertical (or horizontal if you do SSB
local/DX).

Mark N8MH

We are 24 hours away from our live dayton hamvention broadcast. ?Help us
spread the word to?
anyone interested.?
This will be our 10 th year to broadcast Dayton Hamvention . Our viewers
have grown to?
about 50,000 in over 150 countries during the last Hamvention broadcast.
Hamvention is May 20-22 but we actually go live ?TOMORROW at 1300 UTC Wed
May 16th as we?
pull out of our driveway and broadcast the 550 mile drive live.
The video site is http://w5kub.com and we are on 365 days a year when not
broadcasting a?
live ham event. Over the years we have had special guests on the broadcasts.
We have over $8000 in prizes to give out again this year to lucky viewers.
?Some of our?
prizes are weather stations, Heil headsets, Comet CAA-500 antenna analyzers,
AlphaAmp watt?
meters, D-star radios, yasue HTs, TenTec desk mics, G5RV antennas, and much
more. ?After?
hamvention, we will be broadcasting our 550 mile trip back to Memphis on
Sunday afternoon.
We have installed a new Ka Band internet satellite uplink this year in our
fleamarket space?
so we will be broadcasting High Def video this year. This is a first for us.
Log into the chat room and talk directly to us, ask questions to those we
are interviewing?
or just chat with each other.
Dayton Hamvention is Fri, Sat, Sun May 18,18,20
we also will broadcast the 550 mile drive (10 Hours) from Memphis, Tn to
Dayton Ohio?
Wednesday may 16
We will be setting up our fleamarket space and the satellite uplink on
Thursday May 17 and?
will broadcast that.
We will start giving out prizes on Wed morning.
go to http://w5kub.com for all the fun

I have been interested in AMSAT operation for awhile but have not even
began to put together a station for satellite work. I will be attending the
Dayton Hamvention this weekend, and in doing so I am hoping to learn enough
about satellite work to get on the air over the next few weeks.
With the large collection of AMSAT experts in Dayton, my question is what
the group would recommend to a newcomer to try to get out of Dayton in
learning some satellite basics. Should I make sure to go to the forum? Are
there going to be demonstrations on software and station setup? Should I
mainly try to make in-person resource contacts?
Mainly, where should I focus my efforts this weekend? I am hoping to learn
as much as possible and hope to finally get involved in satellite
operations in the next few months.
Thanks in advance,
Steve, W5IEM

Steve,
My recommendation is that you attend at least one of the satellite demos for
an FM satellite (AO-27 or SO-50) *and* an analog satellite (AO-7, FO-29, or
VO-52). The techniques and contacts are different for FM and SSB; you will
learn from both types of contacts. Note that the ISS and HO-68 passes will
be listening only, and won't involve 2-way QSOs. Take the time to talk with
Keith, Roger and Mark who will be running the demonstrations just outside of
the entrance to the Ball Arena.
I would also encourage you to attend the AMSAT Forum, but if your primary
goal is to learn about assembling a station and operating the sats, the
demonstrations are your best starting point.
I'd also suggest you buy a copy of Gould's revised Getting Started with
Amateur Satellites book. It will be for sale at the AMSAT booth and is a
great source of information for those questions you forget to ask at the
demos. There will also be demonstrations of SatPC32 and MacDoppler at the
AMSAT booth, so you can see how the tracking software works.
Here is the tentative schedule for the AMSAT demonstrations at Dayton this

Message-ID: <8CF00D6E4F68BA7-BC0-377C@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi all.
I am trying to determine an FM uplink frequency in L band which is suitable
for most countries.
As I understand it, 1269 is the traditional frequency of choice, but with
Galileo now being deployed and some local EIRP restrictions here in Europe,
that may no longer be the best choice.
In searching the AMSAT archive I saw several messages about the P3E 'galileo
alternative' at 1260 and a message saying that there is an EIRP limit in
Germany below 1263MHz. - Is that still accurate? The final suggestion from
those posts was 1263.520
Ultimately some frequency agility to avoid radars etc may be needed, but as
with all projects, a starting point is needed. Any thoughts?
Many thanks
David G0MRF

Amen to this, Steve (both Steves actually ;) )
This year, we have a clear focus on trying to get youth and first time
operators ON THE AIR. We want you to come to the microphone and make
a contact!! Between passes, there is plenty of time for equipment
review, discussions, inspections, etc. The SSB and FM birds are
quite different, but once you have the gear up and running, the
transition is pretty straight forward.
Thanks to Keith and Roger, I understand we'll have differing levels of
equipment again (from very portable/simple, to stuff more complex
resembling a fixed station with computer control of radio, etc.) So
check it out!
Come out and get your feet wet (well, figuratively. We are hoping for
no rain :0 ) Bring the kids...or grab some on the way...hi hi.
See you later this week!

Steve,
The answer to your questions is YES. For starting out, as Drew suggested,
see as many passes worked in the demo area as you can. Likewise, at the
AMSAT booth you can pick up some good intro books, and talk about software,
hardware, etc with experienced operators. If everybody seems too busy to
talk, swing back around in a few minutes. The Forum is oriented toward "big
picture" issues rather than operational nuts and volts. You can get an idea
how things are now, and how they will be different in a few years.
73s,
Alan

Subject: [amsat-bb] Learning about AMSAT in Dayton
I have been interested in AMSAT operation for awhile but have not even
began to put together a station for satellite work. I will be attending the
Dayton Hamvention this weekend, and in doing so I am hoping to learn enough
about satellite work to get on the air over the next few weeks.
With the large collection of AMSAT experts in Dayton, my question is what
the group would recommend to a newcomer to try to get out of Dayton in
learning some satellite basics. Should I make sure to go to the forum? Are
there going to be demonstrations on software and station setup? Should I
mainly try to make in-person resource contacts?
Mainly, where should I focus my efforts this weekend? I am hoping to learn
as much as possible and hope to finally get involved in satellite
operations in the next few months.
Thanks in advance,
Steve, W5IEM
