Did anyone record the SO-50 pass over the east coast at around 1840z? My
voice recorder failed and I can't remember a couple of the callsigns of
stations I worked.

I am now on mode J with a transverter and my Flex-5000A. I picked up a
Downeast 144-28 transverter at the local hamfest, and experienced
overload on the 435 MHz downlink when transmitting on 2M. I had seen
this before with my FT-736R
At a previous hamfest, I saw a Phelps Dodge Cavity Resonator marked
406-512 MHz and bought it for $1 thinking that it may resolve the
overload problem. Well, I finally tried it in path for the 435 MHz .
Wow, great fix. I have it in front of my 435 MHz preamp and now have no
movement of noise floor when transmitting on the 2M uplink.
It also has CAT NO 495-509 marked on it. Not sure about the second 5,
could be a 3 since number is worn badly.
I did a WEB search and didn't find any technical information specific to
this model. If anyone has information, would you supply me with a link
or info?
If you can find one of these, don't pass it up. A single tuning
adjustment on top. I peaked it during a FO-29 pass. I then discovered a
local 435 MHz noise source, I think a cable distribution box, than I
could peak on also. Fortunately it is only in one direction and beam has
to be right on to see.
There may be other cavity resonators that would work.

Dear Ham Friends,
We will start the experiments of 5.8GHz transmission of your place.
Please advice the best time for your place and also let me know your
latitude and longitude. Details are:

Hi Bill, NJ1H
See also
http://www.k3pgp.org/432filter.htm
This 432 MHz filter and protection device has a fraction of dB losses
and so if fitted in front of a 70 cm preamplifier do not degrade very
much it's Noise Figure.
You can build it very easily at home.

Hello Everyone,
Thanks to Stu, WA2BSS for sending this in .This is another item if we
waited for this week's ANS news cycle this news would be too late.
There will be no Hudson Valley Satcom net this week on Thursday,
November 8. Net Control Gary, WA2AQH will be tied up at work. The next
net for November would fall on Thanksgiving Day (for USA) so no net
session is planned for that week either.
The Hudson Valley Satcom net plans to resume operation in December,
2012. Watch the ANS bulletins for announcements. The club web
http://www.hvsatcom.org has more information. Net Control, Gary can be
reached via e-mail for questions: wa2aqh@xxxxx.xxx
Via Stu, WA2BSS
