Dear All,
I have two units of stuck Yaesu rotators (G-5500 azimuth unit and
G-2800) that I use for satellite and terrestrial communications and
have been finding it difficult to locate repair services around this
region.
As I will be heading to Sydney, Australia next month, I wonder if
there are such repair services available. If anyone has any info,
kindly drop me an e-mail off the list.
Sorry for the bandwidth and appreciate any help or pointers given.
Thank you.
73,
Sion Chow Q. C.,
9M2CQC, WQ2C

And if you don't have an old computer with an ISA slot, I have a spare
motherboard if anyone wants it. (I have enough computer relics, and this
one is too modern anyway...)

Satellite relics make a reasonable offer. Original box, manual and the like.

Michael,

Look at the video where Dough Wheelock shopws off? HAM Radio contacts from
ISS.

Hello there!
This weekend EL92sd will be into the FO-29 footprint
with the European western coast. If any station wants
to try a contact, please drop me an email directly.
There are some opportunities to try long contacts with
South America also. If you are into any footprint and
want to try, please drop me an email.
The Cubans cannot operate on AO-07 mode B, So FO-29 is
our only opportunity for long contacts.
73!
Hector, CO6CBF
EL92sd

Dear amigos :
I am new to this list. My very good friend CO6CBF Hector asked me to make
a comeback into the ham satellites world.
I found an ECHO 70 KLM transceiver that was in bad shape, but that could
be repaired. Now it is receiving , but on transmit the power is only 1
Watt.
The receive sensitivity is not great, but enough for Hector to make a two
way contact with it... Hector has a very good 70 cms band antenna system
that really helped.
The 70 cms signal level at the input of the first of two output filters is
10 Watts, measured with professional test instruments, but after the
filters there is only 1 Watt.
I suggested to Hector that he blew hot air over the ceramic trimmers
of the two filters in order to remove humidity ...
It worked on one of the filters... now there is good power output
on the 435 megaHertz segment , but 432 megaHertz is still at the
low power output level.
FYI, we are not authorized to operate on the 432 megaHertz segment
used by the Oscar 7 AO7 ancient satellite... but do have permission
to operate on the 435 megaHertz segment that other satellites use.
Any information about the ECHO 70 KLM transceiver that can be found
will be most useful, as once the rig is in good working conditions it
will be used frequently from my EL83td grid square location in downtown
Havana, and possibly by mini dx satellite expeditions to other nearby
grid squares too.
If the files that contain the information about the ECHO 70 KLM rig
are large, please send them to:
arnaldo.coro at gmail dot com
Thanks in advance for your help and hope to make many new friends
in my return to the amateur satellites world after many years
of absence * I am from the days of Oscar 7, RS 10 and RS 12 and
RS 15 * !!!!

I used to have an Echo 70, and may still have the documentation on my home
computer. It is a SSB/CW rig, and if I recall correctly, the 435 segment
can be
moved to cover the satellite band by changing a single crystal.

I just tried fo-29 from fn21 at about 1pm today. There should have been a
good pass in terms of elevation even with my stationary antennas. Nothing
hear here not even my cw downlink. I tried a few days ago and had the same
results. Isn't me or is the bird not operational?
