I am happy to report that after a lot of attempts, Dale KL7R and I reached
a Sat contact between BP54xt and EL92sd. The Cubans cannot operate on AO-07
mode B, So FO-29 is our only opportunity for long contacts.
I cannot say how much time we tried but I am sure that it was more than 10
attempts. Dale did all the hard work, he drove around 4 miles from his home
to a nearby hill. Majority of times he drove very late in the night.
All the SSB attempts failed. Today at 1920z was our first attempt on CW and
It was successfully!
Dale `s working conditions are a Yaesu FT-817 (only 5W semi-duplex) and
ARROW antenna with preamplifier. My working conditions are a majority
homebrew setup, 10 elements yagi on 2m and 18 elements yagi for 70cm with a
homebrew preamplifier.
Thanks very much to Dale for his constancy and effort!
PD: I continue looking for new grids and long contacts on satellite, if you
are into any footprint with EL92sd and wan to try, please drop me an email.
73!
Hector, CO6CBF
EL92sd

Good Job Hector and Dale........... I know you have tried to make this
contact
for quite a while with your short footprint. Dale makes a special effort
for AK
contacts on the birds.

Hi Guys,
This week we will be having the TI2 Space in Dayton, OH, and a basic TI in
Sacramento, CA. I hope you will be able to give some contacts to the folks
in Dayton all week (Monday through Thursday), be patient, I believe all the
teachers will be satellite novices.
For those on the left coast, could you give a listen for Tommy N5DUX,
probably on Tuesday afternoon? That is the time slot when the introduction
to satellites is given to the new teachers during the basic TI.
Thanks for your support.my turn is coming up in a few weeks at HQ, to be
announced later.
Mark

Telstar, the satellite that made the world?s first transmissions of live
television possible in 1962, will be the subject of a program at the
Smithsonian?s National Air and Space Museum July 12. The ?Telstar 50th
Anniversary? symposium, which will begin at 1:30 p.m., will be presented in
cooperation with the Embassy of France. It will begin with a satellite
television connection to the Pleumeur-Bodou Telecommunications Museum in
France commemorating the first global transmission of a television signal
50 years ago.
?It was that rarest of all television moments, the kind that compels
viewers to lean forward and stare in a primal wonder and amazement at their
screens? was how newscaster Walter Cronkite described a Telstar-enabled
public broadcast that occurred about two weeks after the satellite?s launch
and first test transmission July 10. A multinational event, the July 23
broadcast was carried by American networks CBS, NBC and ABC as well as CBC
in Canada and Eurovision in Europe. The first pictures were of the Statue
of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. Although the program was to have begun
with remarks by President John F. Kennedy, the talk was delayed and a
baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs was
televised in its place.
The symposium will be presented in two parts. Secretary of the Smithsonian
Wayne Clough will begin the satellite connection between the two museums.
French Ambassador Fran?ois Delattre and the U.S. General Consul in France,
Robert Tate, will also speak.
?Live broadcast of events happening throughout the world are taken for
granted today, but 50 years ago transmissions enabled by Telstar captured
the attention and imaginations of people everywhere,? Clough said. ?The
50th anniversary reminds us how far we have come, and how much potential
there is the new era of digital communications.?
Following the satellite connection, historians and experts from industry
and government will discuss Telstar?s historical
significance, its impact on commercial space endeavors and the birth of
global communications. Footage from the original 1962 broadcast between
France and the United States on July 12 will be shown at the symposium.
Concluding remarks will be delivered by State Department Assistant
Secretary Kerri-Ann Jones.
Support for the program is provided by Intelsat and France Telecom-Orange.
The symposium will be held in the museum?s Moving Beyond Earth gallery.
Reservations are not required.
Telstar 1 launched on July 10, 1962, from Cape Canaveral and was the first
privately sponsored space-faring mission. It handled a variety of
transmissions, including telephone, fax, data, still pictures and
television signals from several locations across the United States and
Europe. The original Telstar was part of an agreement between AT&T, Bell
Telephone Laboratories, NASA, the British General Post Office and the
French National Post Telegraph and Telecom Office. The satellite was built
at Bell Telephone Laboratories. A small model of Telstar 1 will be on
display during the symposium.
More information on the program may be found on the museum?s website and
blog.
