Here is my nominee for the 'Perfect Ground Track Contest' in the 'Lower 48
States Sub-Category'.
As required by the strictly enforced contest rules it is a real functional
satellite not some made up thing.
Yes the SatPC32 'Display Ground Track' box is set to G+ (continuously on).
Try to resist the urge to be a spoiler and give the new guys a chance to
think about it.

Alan,
Raydel beat me to the punch. Thanks for posting.
I did note that some of the referenced photo's & figures were not in the
pdf, probably on another page. Looks like a trip to HRO to get a copy of the
magazine....
This looks like a fun and easy homebrew project.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi,
Well today AT 1900 something UTC, AO-27 made a pass. (I don't know if
sending a attachment of the recording will work, or if it's allowed) I
heard the bird, for the first time. I did not try a contact as the goal was
to hear and track the bird, get a idea of how to tune for Doppler effect. I
found it's a lot easier to just wave the antenna around and not use a tri
pod. The antenna I used was my home brew yagi's (based on the AM SAT easy
yagi's) with one tweak. I mounted them 90 degrees to each other one antenna
and two radio's (for full duplex) the receive radio was the new UV5R. I will
use my HTX 202 to transmit. You have to un .rar the recording. That's the
only way I knew to make it small. I will try again tomorrow and maybe try to
make a contact. It's a lot to do at once listen for as well as track the
bird with your antenna & record the pass (my phone only records like a
minute at a time). I will have to get something better. It's on now!

Message-ID:
<1339678234.90501.YahooMailNeo@xxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Hello folks.
I'm totally new to sat operation and VHF/UHF operating (kind of bored with
HF).
?
Since I already had a very nice HF and 6 meter rig, after a bit of research
on the candidate rigs in my price range (the IC-9100 would have been nice
except for the $$)?I recently purchased an ICOM IC-910H.?
The used market for the IC-910H rigs is not exactly cheap at that. The Unit
is a very late model in new condition which is why I made a quick decision
and hit 'buy'.
It is a 'stock' unit with no optional modules; no DSP, no narrow cw filters,
no 1.2 GHz module.
There doesn't look to be much satellite activity at 1.2 GHz but I'm
questioning my purchase now due to the lack of options and my lack of
experience.
??
So is the stock unit going to be a problem in working the sats (i'm
interested in working FM, SSB, and CW ... perhaps later digital)??
Thanks for any advice?
chuck

You will do just fine with the 910H as is... The first one I ever tried had
no
options installed, and I loved it so much I promptly bought my own. I have
added the DSP and high-stability oscillator over the years (good eBay finds),
but neither is a necessity for FM, SSB, or CW satellite operations, by any
means. I am keeping my eyes out for a 1.2 GHz module at a *reasonable* price,
but again, I don't consider it all that important to my needs - just a
"would be
nice to have someday" item.
The best bang for your buck is investing in your antennas, low-loss coax,
and a
UHF preamp: as the saying goes, you can't work 'em if you can't hear 'em!

Who or what exactly uses the same downlink frequencies (or very close to
them)?
I always hear people talking (FM) when listening for sat beacons...
Also, although totally unrelated, someone here may know, on 40m, down
around 40.013 I hear what sounds like encrypted/scrambled speech. Who
could that be?
Thanks

The DSP unit is well worth the effort.? Should we ever get another HEO like
AO-40 (sobsob) the 1.2ghz module will be wanted.? Keep an eye out for one.?
Depending on where you live there can be some terrestrial L band activity.?
The stock IC-910H is definitely a keeper and the value will always be
there.? My 910 works very effectively with Satpc-32.?
good luck
