There are several different orbital prediction models in use, and I
would guess that they are not using the same one.

SatPC32 gives you a choice in the setup options, but it's been so long
since I've used NOVA, I don't remember if or where the oprion is located.

I will be starting an assignment with soverign groups in both India and
Bangladesh concerning flight operations...this is a commute contract but I
will have a substantial presence in both countries...and both countries have
granted me an E Visa and my family residency visas

and SL2 has informed me that upon arrival in country I will have a amateur
radio ticket.

It will take me sometime to spool up as the work on both contracts is pretty
extensive...but at somepoint I will have a presence on the bands in both
countries.  Not that it matters with LEO's to hams in the states, but
amateur satellite equipment will be included in my operation

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Have you ever had one of those days?

We're at T -10 days and counting to the wedding of my only daughter,
Samantha, and the stress is starting to get to me. Tonight, I had a
delivery at the house, just as the pass for FO-29 started. I could hear the
driver honking his horn outside the garage door, just as I heard a
station calling CQ on the bird.

I went back to the station, "M3Y slash something"...hmm...strange
callsign. Didn't quite catch it. But no worries, I always use a small
digital recorder to catch all the audio from passes. Haven't quite mastered
adjusting the rotor, twisting the RIT knob, keying the mic, and logging
all at the same time.

Certain that the recorder would capture the details, I proceeded with
the contact. "QRZ, QRZ this is N1LF EM63 QRZ".

Hey wait, he's coming back to me. What's that he's saying, "Try it
again, N1LF". I repeated my call and grid square. The station came right
back again, "Try it one more time. Are you on the right sideband?",
A wave of panic set in. I glanced at the knobs on the IC-910. Was I on
the right sideband? What was that callsign again? Where the heck is
that? South America, maybe!!??

I repeated my callsign---he came right back. "OK, now I got you". He
sent his grid square too, but the bird rotated, and I missed it. I
doubted the recorder had it either--so I asked for repeat. I noticed
other stations
were quickly calling the DX too. He calmly repeated his grid square and
I sent a quick "73".

The horn outside honked again--breaking me from my euphoria. I scribbled
a quick note of the time; 04:05 UTC. No problem, I'll get the rest from
the recorder when I'm done with the delivery.
I yanked the headphones, and listened as other stations worked "Norm".
They all seemed excited to log a rare grid. I was proud of myself for
finding him early in the pass, before the pileup had
started.

"Maybe this rookie can show these space jockey's a thing or two" I
thought, in my self-assured inner voice. I greeted the driver with a big
smile and firm handshake.

An hour later, I plugged the recorder into my computer's USB port, and
opened the file in Sound Forge, ready to play back the pass, and fill in
my log. Alas, you can guess the
ending to my sad tale of woe. I had neglected to plug in the splitter
cable!!! The entire file was completely BLANK! NO!!!!

So, I hate to ask, but I decided to swallow my pride and see if the gang
could help me solve this mystery. Who did I work, and where the heck was
he? Gotta get automatic rotor
control working and start writing stuff down.

Serves me right for being cocky. Despite the setback, I'm still having
fun learning the birds.

Hello All AO7 Operators;

During the Eclipse Cycle over Antarctica, AO7 continues to come out of
eclipse in Mode B.

Even better news is that I tracked down Jan A. King the designer of AO7
and he has graciously offered to answer some of my questions about the
basic design of the Grand Old Lady of satellites.

I will be speaking with him next week after the Memorial Day Weekend and
I hope to gather some insight into the operations of AO7.

I am very lucky to get access to him for his knowledge of this great
satellite.

I should have spelled out in my earlier e-mail that I'm not even going
to think about QSLing Norm,  N3YKF/OA4 in FM18 for VUCC or DXCC credit
unless I'm fortunate
enough to work him again before he leaves Peru.

I prefer to earn 'em fair and square or not at all. Just thought it was
a funny story that other operators might enjoy. And I wanted to note his
callsign in case I heard him on the
birds again.

It seems a lot of operators use a digital audio recorder for logging,
especially those who operate handheld. Lesson learned, check all
connections before the pass begins! Ha, Ha.
Thanks for helping to solve the mystery and sorry for any confusion.
