We will activate K2BA/5 from the National Scouting Museum in Irving, TX this
coming weekend for another Radio Merit Badge class. We will be doing HF and
local V/U contacts but my intent is to wrap the day with an SO-50 pass at
about 2050 my AOS. Please call K2BSA/5 and give a shout out to the Scouts
present.
I really am a strong believer in how the satellite component has spiced up
the merit badge classes we have been holding for several years now. When
they get it that you are pointing a small antenna toward a moving satellite
in the sky and people from all over are coming back to them, their faces
light up and it makes a strong impression. My recommendation is that every
satellite op should get in contact with a group doing Radio Badges or just a
Scout group in general and see if you can integrate the satellite aspect of
the hobby into whatever presentation/demonstration going on. You have heard
me before getting the Scouts to shout out the call and Grid square. It is a
lot of fun.
Jamboree on the Air is coming up the weekend of October 20th and so you
should be able to find a local group who is working it. Latch on to them
and let's make the Sats come alive with Scout to Scout contacts. It may end
up being the high point for many of the Scouts involved.

okay, not satellite related but... why couldn't a satellite or balloon
have this gizmo on it and then the tracking device in the tripod
automatically looks for that device and tracks it. keps would not be needed
because the satellite is telling you where it is.
thought it was an interesting idea. the company's web site is
www.soloshot.com
for the story at the houston chronicle we site..... Camera tracking device
knows it's all about you:

I found on my FT-847 that the strength of the sub audibles got weak as
frequency decreased. I normally work all linear sats, but I had a request to
work another ham through SO-50. I could not bring SO-50 up with my FT-847. I
listened to the 847's output with a handy talkie and sure enough when I got
down to 67 Hz, the tone was not there. The high frequencies worked OK but
started loosing strength as I programmed the 847 downward. I used the handy
talkie to make the QSO.

Hello all!!
The trip to Aguada de Pasajeros town was uneventful. The location chosen
for the demonstrations was the town `s central park. 21 stations were worked
on three satellite passes and a lot of contacts were done on the HF bands and
2m local repeaters. A lot of people came to the presentation and some asked
about how begin in the amateur radio world.
The most exciting part for the audience was when we heard the contact between
NA1SS form the ISS and K3CUJ from the National Electronics Museum,
Linthicum, MD.
It was a great experience to everyone!!!
Equipments used for this satellite operation is what I use usually when
I am portable. A mobile 2m FM radio with a homebrew 70cm/2m down converter
inside,
with a strap around my neck. The 2m Kenwood TK-270 HT for Tx, a 12V 7AH
battery
into a backpack, a digital MP3 recorder, The HT in one hand and the homebrew
Arrow
Antenna with a homebrew preamplifier in the other hand.
Thanks to everyone who worked me and said hello to the group. Right now, I
have
answered a lot of question about satellite and AMSAT on our 2m local repeater.
I am sure that we won some satellite enthusiasts more.
73!

Asunto: [amsat-bb] Satellite demonstration from Aguada town
Hello all!
On Saturday September 1st, The Aguada de Pasajeros `s Radio Club will give
an Amateur Radio presentation from the Central Park of the town. The Radio
Club will be operating on the HF bands and 2m local repeaters. I will be
there on behalf of the Satellite Cuban group for a Sat demonstration, I hope
to operate on the SO-50 and AO-27 passes from 12:00z to 20:00z and I will
try to encourage some Hams to the Microphone. Aguada town is in EL92 around
40 miles from Cienfuegos city.
Please, give us a call!

Hi Bob,
Interesting that they would be squeamish about higher voltages when a while
back they ran an article suggesting running a 3-500 amp with the interlock
defeated and a meter jammed in there to measure the filament voltage. They
(quite rightly) took a bit of flak for that one though.
Anyway, congrats on the award!
73,
Sean -VA5LF
