http://spaceweather.com
STRONG SOLAR FLARE: A big, active sunspot (AR1515) is growing on the
Earthside of the sun. This morning it erupted, producing an M5.6-class solar
flare that ionized Earth's upper atmosphere with a brief but intense pulse
of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation. More eruptions are in the
offing as the sunspot turns to face Earth. Check http://spaceweather.com

Real rovers and portables can appreciate Paul's situation. I just
wrapped up logging efforts for my last ten days on the road. It is
amazing the various conditions in terrain, weather, and even the hams
on a pass that makes /R and /P such a thrill. Sometimes pushing the
"rover" envelope not only gives out rare grid squares, it is a test of
skill, and sometimes record-setting!

Hi all,
Next week, July 9-12, I will be instructing the ARRL Teachers' Institute
2 in Dayton, OH. We'll have 8 teachers learning how to set up and operate
ground stations that they will be able to take back to their schools to use
in their classrooms. Support from ARRL ETP donors, the Dayton Amateur
Radio Association, and Yaesu have made this endeavor possible.
We will be operating from about 1200 utc to 2000 utc each day, give or take
a few hours. Our primary amateur radio satellites will be AO27, SO50,
FO29, and VO52, plus we will try to capture data and telemetry from the
many cubesats currently operating. Hopefully you'll have a moment to say
hello and work a few of the teachers in my group.
73,
Matt, N8MS

Message-ID: <4FF21C22.3060206@xxxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
I am looking for an old article regarding the use of two U-110 rotors
for satellite operations.
I have gone through all my old references and cannot find what I'm
looking for.
Basically, it was a setup using two U-110's (or it could have been two
U-100's). The homemade controller used either toggle or rocker switches
and had a digital readout of AZ/EL using DVOM's. As far as I remember,
it was all manual. I remember seeing this in the back of some
publication, but I cannot find it.
Does anyone have any inkling of and idea what I'm talking about?

Sorry I didn't make my DE K2E 13 colonies' sked earlier today. I had an
audio out failure with my TS-B2000. We worked a VO-52 pass this morning with
Elizabeth kb3wsw/K2M and had no problems. When we tried to work the pass' in
DE we had no normal audio output from the Kenwood with the external speaker
or headphones. Odd thing is that the HF side of the radio's audio remained
normal. I tried pre amp in or out ATT was off, everything stupid seemed to
be in order. We will be home here in NJ working as K2I, and might be able to
try and work some DE passes on Wednesday on the way back to PA. The B2000 is
going on the bench tomorrow AM, we shall see...

Joel,
I am not sure if thats exactly what u are looking for, but here is some
material which might help you further. The setup is not strictly for 2 x
u110 rotors, but can be adapted for other
simple non-feedback rotors (radio shack etc.) as well.:
Original idea, setup and software from K8DAV:
http://www.k8dav.com/u100_info.htm
KC2PCR's implementation with 2 U 110 rotors:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHTEHUlqilk
I took K8DAV's software and extended it a bit, so it works fine over the
parallel port (with no basic stamp controller) and a Radio Shack rotor for
AZ and a homebrew rotor for EL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-nBYvPYOy4
Some pictures: http://evolution2enterprises.com/sat/sat.html
Feel free to email me if you have questions.
Cheers,
Andy - VK4HHH

I'm pretty sure this isn't the article you were thinking of, but I made my
own Az/El rotor from a U-110 and a regular Ham-type rotor, with a Basic
Stamp-based controller. Has both manual and automatic modes. See the
pictures and links to the design documentation at the top of:

Good luck,

Hi all,
I know it is short notice!
Tomorrow morning, I will be in a work trip to Matanzas province in EL93. I
will try to operate on the 1828z AO-27 pass and if I find a place with a
decent horizon view, I will try on the 2009z pass also.
If anyone need this grid confirmed, please drop me an email and I will look
for you.
73!

Hello Joel
Many TV rotators have similar construction like Alliance U110 & Stolle
I have adapted the Stolle for the the elevation ,
have also a position feedback indicator to this Stolle with suitable gears
turned out of Delrin

Hi to the list,
Please apologize if for someone i am making a stupid question.
I am going to change my broken G-5400B rotator with a new G-5500 one.
Before i mount it on the mast i am going to set it to the North.
On the old one, on the Control Box there was 0 degreese and 360 degreese on
the same point, in the middle of the analo display while on the new one i
have the 0 degreese on the left side of the analig display at the beginner
of the analog display while the 360 degreese is on the right side of the
analog display.
The stupid question is:
How do i have to set the Azimuth rotator?
On the 0 degreese on the left side of the analog display or on the 360
degreese on the right side of the analog display?
Any help will be really appreciated.

Preset your rotor control to North, either 0 or 360. Mount rotor on the
tower, mast etc. It makes no difference where the rotor is physically
pointing. Mount antenna onto rotor and position it pointing north. The only
thing to worry about is the drip loop position of your feedline. It should
not bind as you rotate from north to south.
It's harder to describe than it is to do...

Okay, that sounds familiar, John. It had pots that may have been belt
driven that increased or decreased the resistance depending on rotation.
Something else I remember - the person put a plastic garbage can over it
to keep out the rain. I know why he did that. I just find it amusing
that I remember that detail.
Let me ask one other question before I get to comments. I actually have
one U-100 and one U-110. Is this going to be an issue? I'm not sure
what the difference is.
@xxxxxx Don't put too much into it. I thought someone might remember
it off the top of their head. There are several solutions that I got
that may be better than what I was looking for.
@xxxxxx I vaguely remember the SatEL being advertised in the Journal.
I think it is time to renew my AMSAT membership and maybe purchase those
DVD's.
@xxxxxxx I have looked at K8DAV's setup quite a bit. I got myself
confused thinking it only worked over a parallel port (that is an issue
but can be overcome unless portable/field). However, I realized the
basic stamp controller worked over a serial port (not an issue). I may
go this route, but I'm still looking for options. Will this setup work
using SatPC32 which was my preferred tracking software when I was
satellite active?
@xxxxxx I like your approach. Let me see if I got my head wrapped
around your design - serial interface to the FODtrack board which then

@xxxxxxx Very nice homebrew tower and rotor setup.
Still working out my options. I just want something simple that I can
take to the field using a modern laptop.
Lot's of good suggestions here.
Downloaded the form to renew my AMSAT membership too.
