For the record, it should be noted that the N4HY crowd in the audience led
the cheering, so the level of enthusiasm should be viewed with some
skepticism.
The presenters may actually have made some money on this show. That is the
part nobody could have predicted.
After many decades of being a composer, it's my belief that writing music is
a lot like architecture: the fundamental task is to make sure nobody gets
killed or injured by your work. By that standard, the evening was a raging
success.
My greatest thanks to everyone.
Frank

Just give Martha a call at 1 888 322 6728 and she will fix you up I'm sure.

Hi everybody from Pedro EB4DKA. I forward to the BB the following message
from Juan Antonio EA4CYQ:
----------
Hi all,
I have published several articles in relation to ham satellites in AMSAT and
other magazines such as URE, CQ-DL, Megahertz Magazine and several Webs.
But most of them were in Spanish. I have translated them into English, you
can find the following issues:
- The CJU antenna. It was designed by EB4DKA and EA4CYQ to improve the UHF
reception with your HT, it is thought to uplink with your VHF mobile
station. You will receive the UHF downlink in the same way a fix satellite
station.
- The IOio antenna. It was designed by EA4CYQ to work V/U and U/V amateur
satellites with an HT. It has an amazing performance, it is even better
than the Arrow antenna in some features.
- A dual band portable yagui antenna. This is a very well known antenna into
the amateur satellites world. Here you can find how to build it with normal
stuff and an impressive performance.
- The EGGBEATER II and TPM II antennas. They were designed by Jerry K5OE.
In this article I tell my experience at the beginning in the amateur
satellites world and all the vicissitudes to work amateur satellites from my
shack with the minimal equipment. Here you will find all the details to
build these fantastic antennas.
- The 2.4GHz DISH ANTENNA. Taking advantage of my AO-40 experience I could
go more deeply into the microwaves world. Here you can find all the details
to build two different 2.4GHz dish feed systems, which you will be able to
use in wireless terrestrial communications.
- The LINEAR TRANSPONDERS. A lot of amateur satellites use this system.
This article will help you to understand how they work.
- HF or SATELLITES?. I try to demonstrate with this article that a
satellite fix station is at least as good as an HF station. You will get
the same performance with small antennas and low power out.
- The DATA CONNECTOR. This connector has much more possibilities than to be
hooked to a TNC. In this article I study its features and I propose to use
it with a PC soundcard, to receive meteorological satellites and I even
propose to build a cross band repeater. You will be surprised about its
possibilities.
- CIRCULAR POLARIZATION. If you want to know more about this kind of
polarization and you want to see a comparative of VHF and UHF circular
polarized commercial antennas, you should read this article.
- TRANSCEIVERS TO WORK SATELLITES. If you are thinking about setting up a
fix satellite station, here you can find all the transceivers in the market
and combinations between them to be successful.
- THE EA4CYQ SHACK. Here I describe my shack, perhaps it could be useful as
a reference if you are thinking about setting up one.
- THE EA4CYQ LOG. If you have contacted with my station between June 1.996
and March 2.008, here you can find it. It is in call sign alphabetical
order. We will upload it in the near future.
You can find them at the following Webs due to the generosity of Pedro
EB4DKA and Rodolfo EA4CAX:
http://eb4dka.laserenadigital.com (also www.eb4dka.tk ). This Web is
devoted to ham satellites and Pedro has an impressive collection of photos,
videos and interesting articles. He is an authority working in portable
conditions.
http://personales.ya.com/ea4cax/ Rodolfo is specialized in LEO and
Geostationary meteorological satellites.
O hope you enjoy this articles devoted to promote the amateur satellites.

Okay, so I brought half of New Jersey with me. Bill Andersen (master of
ceremonies) said WOW, did you bring half of New Jersey with you? ;-).
He then introduced me to the conductor for the guitar ensemble and I
could not figure out why until the conductor (prodded by Bill)
introduced himself as an ex-Marine who left an intelligence division in
Iraq on medical disability and then out. He then introduced me to his
sister, who was STILL such a non-com and was headed back. They showed
me a picture the OTHER sister who was still there!
Let me assure you, NEVER EVER judge a book by its cover. You would not
have picked this long haired, VERY stereotypical musical scene type nor
his GORGEOUS sisters out as Marines.
When Bill and I compared notes, we found that Frank has almost managed
to keep his musical and "polymath" worlds completely separated. We have
each known Frank as long as the other and I never heard Frank mention
Bill until the (now infamous) George Antheil Music Festival (coinventor
of Spread Spectrum with Hedy Lamarr and major composer).

With packed house, and people TURNED AWAY at the box office (I heard
them doing it as Meghan arrived late), I believe all parties made
money. Congratulations indeed.

And here I thought that the process was simply living long enough
without getting killed or killing yourself so that your contemporaries
were too senile or tired to know better. ;-).

Our thanks to you for allowing us to have so much fun by having you as a
peer. The evening was fun beyond belief until I picked up the bill for
four people at Trattoria del Arte.
Now! Can we do some ham radio?
