The Software Orbitron, allows Sun tracking as an option, assuming your
rotator system is compatable with this software. Rather than tracking
a satellite you can change it to track the sun/moon, in the settings
page It connects via WiSPDDE software to the rotator system.
You then need a way of measuring the noise when pointed at the sun and
pointed away from the sun.
Measure the noise between the preamplifier and the Kenwood radio, but
be careful of any DC power on the cable to power the pre-amplifier.
The spectrum analyser should be OK for this job.

I'd appreciate any info on who repairs Landwehr preamps (VHF and UHF).
Resurrecting mine from 1990 and they are both dead. They have what I
recall to be the classic symptom of a blown GasFET, when you apply power
you get about 30dB of loss.

Hi Farrell,
The best solution is to get a good GaAsFET 432 MHz preamplifier and retune
them for the lowest Noise Figure to 439 MHz using a PANFI ( Precision
Automatic Noise Figure Indicator ) like a widely know AILTECH mod 75

This is on different computer- I get Ungultige gleitkommaoperation marching

entire program and start from scratch with everything.? Is there something I

Dear amateur radio operators,
Apparently the satellite had not reset as was scheduled on June 5, 0100z
and the transponder remained on for the rest of today. After today's pass
over Lithuania we left the transponder working again and put the satellite
to safe mode (no telemetry) to save some power for transponder operations,
so please enjoy and use it. Next update in 24 h.

Hi Bob,
Maybe just go back to using your OSCAR Locator? There are overheads
developed for FO-29 and AO-7 to use with it.

I will be in Bangor, Maine on the morning of Sat., June 7th. I expect to be
able to drive a half hour north to activate FN55, if there is interest in
that grid.
I would be on the SO-50 pass around 1610 UTC with a pair of HTs and my
trusty Arrow antenna.
I can also activate FN64 on SO-50 sometime during next week if it is needed.
Let me know if you need either of these grids.

Hi Alan, WA4SCA and Jim WD0E
I have inspected the VHF and UHF schematic diagrams at
http://www.radiodan.com/ted_stuff/landwehr.htm
and found that for 435 MHz the input GaAsFET Q1 is a
widely well know MGF-1402
For 2 meters VHF the input GaAsFET T5 is a N Channel GaAs-Shotky
Gate Tetrode (for example TEXAS S 3030 ) wich is more difficult to find
BTW the 2SK571 or the 2SK406 should work equally well
see also:
http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&gbv=2&q=landwehr+preamplifier&revid=85170584
3&sa=X&ei=leqQU8-7D6eG4gTD5IDQBw&ved=0CHIQ1QIoBA
In any case the Manufacturer of Landwehr was in Sweeden starting about
30 years ago and the owner of the Company was a radio ham active on
432 MHz off the moon.
I have contact him on EME several time but actually I don't remember if he
was SM6AKW or SM3CKU and unfortunately both of them do not
appears on QRZ.com
It should be nice to investigate onto the american callbook and sent to both
a letter.
Have fun

Thanks to WD9EWK, KC9TTR, and WB3JVD for my first QSOs on this satellite! It
was a max 9 degree pass, with decent signals. I will say, if you are going
to try this one, use the Celestrak or Spacetrack keps, since they are
updated more frequently.

Hi Drew. Glad you had a chance to work the bird. Paul N8HM and I made a
contact on the earlier 23:43z pass. I lucked out with Murphy, my transmit
HT's battery crapped out just after our QSO. Did not hear any stations on
the bird other than the two of us. I don't have narrow band FM on that
Kenwood HT but find if I hold the HT 3 times father away from my mouth and
speak soft the bird has excellent audio. It is very nice of the controllers
to allow us to work the repeater.
I always use the Celestrak keps.
73,
Rick
