According to the Chinese media, China seeks a name from the public for her
rover due to land on the Moon in December.
I would like to suggest the name of the the Chang'e Lunar rover should be
Bai Ze or in various characters: "Ba? Z? ??"
Ba? Z? ?? is a famous figure in Chinese mythology and I think that because
Ba? Z? ?? knows everything about all the other supernatural beings it should
be the name of this rover.
If anyone can find a direct email address then please can i encourage you to
enter the competition!

I noticed today that SATPC32 failed on downloading keps from AMSAT.
I found the URL had changed to

(www was changed to ww2)
Is this a permanent change? Maybe this was in response to the rebuild

Why don?t we see simple ? wave 75 ohm lines used as a first step in
matching a 140 Ohm Helix to 50 ohms?
The ? wave line would give an easy 112 ohms and then it shouldn?t be that
hard to do a little additional construction matching to get to 140?

I looked at your new link for Amsat keps and I notice that they are for
Sep 12. How often does Amsat update their keps ? 15 days seems a bit dated
to me, but maybe its not. I wonder how does the placement of ISS with these
keps compare to http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=25544 .

Hi,
I will suggest that people hold off a few hours before making changes,
unless absolutely necessary.
There have been similar forwarding problems with other AMSAT services which
were quickly fixed. Let
me get a reading on this.

Hi Bob, WA4APR
I have built a 10 turns and a 15 turns Helix for 70 cm using the above
matching system wich works very well.
The characteristic impedance of my 1/4 wave matching line made of
coaxial copper tubing is 88 ohm because SQR(150 x 50) = 88
The only adjustement necessary to get a VSWR close to 1 was to slip
the reflector back and fort over the boom only a few centimeters to
get the right position.
In a separate email I have sent to you the building drawing of my
Helix antenna for 70 cm and a picture of my feed matching system
for 2400 MHz.
For 2.4 GHz I believe that the simplest system to match a Helix is to
solder many small strips of copper at the beginning of the first turn
of the Helix over a lengt of 1/4 turn and adjust the distance of the
strips from the reflector plate until the VSWR becomes close to 1
as possible and this is the system I use for the feed of my 2400
MHz 1.2 meters dish (see photo).

Are you looking for a good excuse to visit the 2013 AMSAT Symposium in
Houston?
It is with great pleasure that I announce the return of Hector
Martinez, CO6CBF, to the AMSAT Symposium. Last year, Hector?s
presentation on ?Cuban style? satellite operation was well-received by
the attendees. Don?t miss this year?s!
Since his visit to Orlando, Hector has been busy in Cienfuegos
completing his fundamental university studies. As the recipient of
the ?Gold Award,? he was honored for his diligence by the university?s
rector. He now looks forward to continuing his education in a
Master?s program.
The AMSAT-NA Board of Directors has graciously extended Hector an
invitation to the Symposium following his successful presentation in
Orlando last year. This year?s process to obtain US visa approvals
went smoothly and on schedule due to the guidance and experience of
Patrick, WD9EWK.
Hector?s travel expenses are guaranteed by private donations - not
AMSAT-NA. If you wish to contribute please contact Clayton, w5pfg at
arrl dot net. You may also contact W5PFG via postal mail at the FCC
callbook-listed PO BOX. Clayton is Hector?s formal sponsor and
coordinator for this year?s symposium visit.
I wish to personally thank the AMSAT-NA Board of Directors and
especially recognize Patrick, WD9EWK, for supporting Hector?s
opportunity to present in Houston this year.
