Hi all,
I like to share a project I recently made for my 2 FT-817's (which is
compatible with the FT-857 en 897 too).
This controller connected to both radio's, (can be 2 different 8xx's
too), will make a full satellite "rig".
It has pre programmed satellites with their frequencies and modes.
When selecting a satellite, both radio's are initialized as the uplink
and downlink radio.
Also the controller will switch the microphone and headphone to the
correct radio.
So no need for unplugging anymore.
Check out the full article on my website: http://pd5dj.nl/page.php?7

?Hello
-After a too long repair issue with my elevation rotor I want to share this
information.? The position potentiometer went bad in my rotor.? I?got a new
pot from Yaesu.? The current replaceable part is not the same as the
original.? There is a small alignment key way in the original pot that makes
for proper alignment. The replacement pot has the same alignment "bump" but
the pot is physically different is size therefore the alignment does not
line up.? The small key way has to be ground off so this makes proper
alignment both physically and electrically critical.? There are internal
stops in the pot which would?make improper alignment to cause stripped
gears.? This is all doable but requires very close attention to detail.?
Short of this you can always just send the rotor to Yaesu.? This was real
PITA job.

Hi Folks,
FUNcube/AO-73 is now in continuous transponder mode with low power
beacon, as at 19:10 UTC. Change back to Auto eclipse mode planned for
Sunday PM UTC.
Enjoy the transponder

Hello,
I am working on my WAS for satellite contacts and need the following

Rick,
It's not you. It's been switching off (or into Mode D) quite often.
Hopefully this is just a temporary condition due to sun angles at this
point in it's orbit.

Also, if anyone in Hawaii wants to work with me on a sub-1.5 degree max
elevation AO-7 Mode B QSO, I'd certainly like to plan an attempt at some
point.

WC7V confirmed to me that AO-7 was in Mode A after the Mode B transponder
shut off.
This likely means that my theory of a power drain causing the satellite to
automatically switch into Mode D is incorrect and this is just a
manifestation of the random mode switching that has been a part of AO-7's
"character" for the past 39+ years.
One of the likely causes of random mode jumping, however, is an excessive
power drain caused by too much power on the uplink. Please limit your
uplink power to no more than 100w ERP. As stated numerous times over the
past 39 years, if you cannot hear your downlink on AO-7 Mode B with 100w
ERP, you need a better receive system, not more power!

Clint Bradford K6LCS will be the guest speaker at the June 2, 2014 meeting
of the
Western Amateur Radio Association (WARA) club in northern Orange County,
California.
All are welcome to attend.
"We will be discussing amateur radio satellites in the first part of our
session. Then we will
have a seminar on "Handling Emergency Calls on Amateur Radio," Clint advises.
WARA already knows Clint's devotion to the ham satellites - and has spoken
to the club
and demonstrated "working a bird" for us before. And his "Handling Emergency
Calls ... "
presentation is one he has developed in conjunction with local law
enforcement,
California's Department of Transportation, and the California Highway Patrol.
"WARA has a marvelous record of supporting amateur radio - and has been an
ARRL
Affiliate Club for about 35 years. I am pleased they have asked me to speak
to their
club again," Clint said.
Western Amateur Radio Association holds its general meeting at the Sizzler
Restaurant
at 1401 N. Harbor, Fullerton, CA (by Brea Blvd., north of the Courthouse on
the west side
of the road). The meeting starts at 7:00pm in the meeting room, but you
should show up
about an hour early if you would also like to get some food.

Sadly, the "alligators" (2 specific violators come to mind...) who need to
