FYI - I have submitted my request to the local decision-makers to be active
as W1AW/0 from Minnesota. I have not heard back yet. It would be for some
time between Jan. 29 and Feb. 4th.

Does anyone have plans to be active on the satellites as W1AW/X? First up
is W1AW/4 in North Carolina and W1AW/8 in West Virginia for the week of
January 1st.
Contact your state/territory/district's hosts and get W1AW portable
operations on the birds for this year long event!
I'll be activating W1AW/3 in the District of Columbia on the birds during
the week of July 2nd and I'll be posting detailed operating plans as that
week approaches.

Adding AO-73 in SatPC32 is very simple if you use AMSAT's keps file
called nasa.all. This file contains the AO-73 Keps together with the
Keps for all the other active ham satellites. The satellite names are
already in the familiar format.
You can assign AO-73 to one of the 12 quick-access "letters" on the
lower right corner of the main SatPC32 screen. If you have an
unassigned letter, open the "Satellites" menu and simply double-click
AO-73 in the "Available" list, and AO-73 will be assigned to the next
unused letter in the "Selected" list.
Paste the following text into the Doppler.SQF text file. Open the file
directly from the SatPC32 program using the menu "?" -> Auxiliary Files
-> Doppler.SQF.
AO-73,145934.0,,USB,,,,TLM
AO-73,145960.0,435140.0,USB,LSB,REV,,, Transponder
Then you're all set to go. With Doppler.SQF text as specified above,
the program will default to the beacon. To switch to the transponder
you need to click the CAT menu and select the transponder data line. If
you reverse the two AO-73 lines in Doppler.SQF the program will default
to the transponder instead of the beacon.

I am looking for someone with antenna system that I use as a reference to
check the performance of my antenna. If you have an antenna that you can
tell me what receive level you have at your station when receiving a beacon
on UHF and VHF please contact me off list

This is not going as smoothly as I had anticipated (does anything ever
go as anticipated?).
I had initially planned on using my Arrow II antenna without the
diplexer and an old Alliance U-110 rotor. As you'll read below, that
doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon.
Even though the group was helpful trying to get the Alliance U-110 rotor
controller synced (sunc?) up, It does not work reliably. It will turn in
one direction, but not the other. I do not have the money to send the
controller off for repair and Norm doesn't repair the U-100's and
-110's. I could buy one from him, but again, that's money that isn't in
the budget. After this issue, I took the controller apart and after a
couple of hours, I finally get it to step in one direction correctly,
but I cannot get it to go in the opposite direction. Shorting the shaft
to the contacts in the controller rotates the rotor correctly so I am
fairly certain the rotor is good - I have a controller issue. The online
diagrams show a blow-up of the parts, but not now to correctly put it
back together (there is a tab on the back of the black dial face and I'm
not sure where that or the contacts on the actual geared dial go. I'm
going to reluctantly email Norm and ask him, but he does this as a
business and I don't want to interfere with that. In the past, he has
been nice enough to offer advice though. I'm still playing with it and
it hasn't "whooped" me yet.
For now, I do *not* have a rotor I can use. I am looking at purchasing
another controller if I'm too stupid for Norm to help ;) . They're
fairly cheap on the "Bay of E."
Without a reliable rotor, my pursuit has led me to QFH and Lindenblad
antennas. Which of the two would be the better performer? I have found
the pages with build instructions, but what do folks here think. I know
they will be poor performers compared to CP yagis, I'm not looking for
that comparison. I understand they're omni antennas with CP. I'm okay
with that. I realize I'm not concentrating all of my RF in a narrow beam
width. That's okay too. Yep, I will be disappointed. I'm disappointed
now with the rotor controller. :)
I had initially thought that I'd put whatever I got inside the attic.
With an omni, that probably wouldn't be prudent. I have enough coax for
two runs to the chimney about 60' away.
So, any thoughts comparing the QFH to the Lindy?
Again, thanks for all the help getting me going again.

I forgot that one of the rigs here was on. It happened to be set for
145.825mHZ in FM. A few minutes ago the squelch was broken by what sounded
like 1200BPS AFSK. It almost sounded like the old UOSATS. Checking my
satellite tracking program I determined it wasn't CAPE-2, TRITON-1 or
DELFIN3XT. What birds are up now that have downlinks on or around
145.825mHZ fm? Maybe I have a set of erroneous keps. Any information on
this would be appreciated.

Yes, that was UO-11 Comes back to life every now and then and has a LOUD
downlink on 145.825 but it is not AX.25 packet.

Maybe PCSAT / NO-44, object 26931. It's on 145.825, but the batteries are
shot Sometimes has enough solar power to become active.

Definitely UO-11. It was in range of Virginia between just after 11:00am

Very distinctive BEEbuzzbuzzbuzzbuzzBEEbuzzbuzzbuzzbuzz pattern, I've got a
recording somewhere. Sounds very much like old BBC Micro tape loading sounds.

I forgot that one of the rigs here was on. It happened to be set for
145.825mHZ in FM. A few minutes ago the squelch was broken by what sounded
like 1200BPS AFSK. It almost sounded like the old UOSATS. Checking my
satellite tracking program I determined it wasn't CAPE-2, TRITON-1 or
DELFIN3XT. What birds are up now that have downlinks on or around
145.825mHZ fm? Maybe I have a set of erroneous keps. Any information on
this would be appreciated.
