Saturday night, set your APRS radio to 147.585 and check your log the next
morning to see how many MS packets you got from other stations. You'll have
an order of magnitude more success if you do it on 50.62 MHz though there
will be fewer stations, and so the performance will likely be about the
same.
beacon away at rates as high as one every 10 seconds
http://aprs.org/meteors.html
Make your packets as short as possible. The best format is simply to
include a grid square using the format >AA##aa Name. The ">" at the
beginning makes it so that APRS radios can receive and display them directly
The name is optional...
For best results, use a beam and point it at a distant population center
about 600 to 1200 miles away. That is your target area. Check your log the
next morning and see what you got.
Please set your PATH to direct, with no digipeters...
Good luck!
Bob, WB4APR

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
Yuri, UT1FG, has been on a well deserved vacation in Russia
following his 6 month long voyage as Captain of the M/V Mottler.
Logs for the April-May 2012 timeframe have just now become available to
his manager Eugene, UX0FY. Yuri was only home for a few days but
he managed to write many qsl cards which will be returned by mail
(if postage was provided), or by the Bureau (if no postage was
enclosed). Eugene will have the bureau cards out in September and
said that the Ukraine Bureau is working very well. Direct cards are
going out daily. Eugene has all of Yuri's logs now and can answer
all requests.
Eugene responds to all requests (with sufficient postage) on a
direct basis. He encloses an insert that requests that the recipient send
an email to him when they receive their card(s). This insures that
the process is complete. If no email is received then the card is
possibly lost or stolen in the mail.
Eugene has not received email responses from the following stations:

your UT1FG/MM cards that you requested or not. If you did not
receive the cards, he will work something out with you to get them.
If you see someone on this list that you know, please tell them about
this posting. Not everyone reads the amsat-bb. This goes for the

> Is the 6 meter frequency fm or usb or other?
Use APRS or TNC using AX.25 1200 baud packet FM
Would work much better at 9600 baud FM, but no time to organize participants.

I received mine a while back and replied to him, but evidently he did not

Unless I missed it, the LEDs appear to be just 'light'. Had they
turned the LEDs on and off at a defined audio rate, the signal could
have been detected with a soundcard with a waterfall display giving an
increase of x10 in sensitivity.
Love the supercaps though. (vacuum tested?)
