Like most people here I guess, we watched the Curiosity landing on the
NASA web-tv : great ! Very impressive. As President Obama said, "tonight,
on the planet Mars, the United States of America made history".
Congratulations to all the staff at NASA/JPL who took part in this
mission, thank you.

I recorded the downlink from a recent ISS contact with a group of Boy
Scouts near Chicago. Here is the link

Hi all,
Going to try and operate from the GN36/GN26 border on the passes today
between 17Z and 19Z today. Focusing on FM birds but will give the SSB ones
a shot. I have a hard time sometimes with them being handheld!
73,

73/all.
Many (maybe not that many) years ago I became interested in LEO sats, it was
about the time of AO40. I didn't have much VHF and no UHF equipment since I
was mostly an HF guy. I purchased an FT-290 from a friend and a small
(150w) amp and stared working RS-12/13 and RS-15 in Mode A. It was fast
paced and almost like a contest on every pass. Well, as we know these guys
are long gone so we are "left" with mostly FM and UHF/VHF splits. I found
an FT-790 on line and purchased it rather than buying an entire new
HF/VHF/UHF rig. I couldn't justify that since I had just picked up an
FT-950.
I guess my question is, other than antennas, what do I need to work most of
the LEO sats these days? I can work AO-7 occasionally but it seems a bit
frail and I rarely hear anyone on it anyway. If I use more than a few watts
it FMs severely. I guess that's because it's running completely on solar
power.
I'd love any input.
Thanks and 73/s
