If all goes as planned, I'll operate portable tomorrow (10 Sept) from DM92
on the SO-50 pass with my AOS of 1742Z.
Next trip will be to DM90 for those who need that one also.

I had this several years ago. When I got it open, the pot was fine, but
the fine center arm wire had broken due to fatigue. Another bad
mechanical design issue in these otherwise nice rotors.
By all means, get a replacement, but if the pot is good and could be
easily repaired by soldering and reinforcing mechanically the
connection, you can keep the spare for when you really need it.
Good luck!!

Hi
Sharing some improvements made with automation parts on my SatPC32 rotor
control. I just wrote the program.
The PLC is from www.automationdirect.com and the interface is from

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping the BB can help. I recently bought a new home. During the move,
my wife asked me to bring a bag of trash out to our fire pit in the
backyard. I burned the bag that night. The next morning, I checked for any
hot coals, and realized that I was looking at a pile of QSL cards and my
logbook that were reduced to ash!
Almost all my cards from QSOs on AO-51, AO-27, SO-50, HO-68, and ISS were
lost.
I'd like to ask if anyone could go through their log, and see if my call
sign pops up, and e-mail the info to me. I'm not looking for anything for
free, and am doing this on the honor system. If a card is sent, I'll resend
mine. (The W1 bureau is good too), or I can hope for a match on LoTW.
Thank you & 73 -
Paul

Does anyone have a manual for the Houston Tracker IV track box?
This vintage controller was used for C-band satellite pointing from a
few years ago.
