Congratulation on your 1000 plus qso's on cw and ssb on on AO7A and B.
AO7 sure has been a fun ride since it return and what a foot print.

Hello Ryan,
Last time I heard RS-15 was on 19th Nov 2007. Just the beacon beeping around
29.352. I took my 10m antenna down after that date, so I haven't listened
for it since.

I've been trying ,unsucessfully, to get an APRS report thru NO-44. I
can hear it faintly--well below the strength of ISS--even on high or
optimum passes--like 30 degrees. (I'm using a vertical)
How long does NO-44 need to be in sun before it begins to operate normally?
Its probably my weak antenna set-up but its too cold out to play with
that end yet!
Thanks,
Curt

It appears as if NO-44 was still trying to wake up on its first pass over
USA on Saturday morning. I would see occasional partial bursts, but not
entire packets from the satellite.

This seems to vary. You can get a feel for successful activity through
NO-44 from the http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/pcsat.cgi web page. It appears
that the last successful digipeat was around 22 hours ago.

For ARISS and PCSAT 145.825 MHz packet I'm using a 3-element 2 meter beam,
about 30 fixed elevation with azimuth provided by a $30 TV antenna rotor. A
small beam or vertical are just about all you need for ARISS, but PCSAT may
be pretty low in signal strength when it emerges from eclipse.

I just had an 88 degree pass here in FN13 and did not hear anything. Had my
vertical on my radio, as it was a high pass, and did not hear a peep. Using
the beacon every 2 minutes and no digipeat as well.

For those of you that have seen VHF Communications before, you know that it is
a great technical publication. It is a quarterly publication covering VHF,
UHF, and microwaves. There are many construction articles primarily for the
higher frequencies. I learn something every time I read an issue.
Harlan Technologies is the USA distributor, and we will be happy to take your
subscriptions. Subscriptions are $44.00 per year (2008 rate).
If you are not familiar with the publications, the publisher Andy Barter has
sent a few sample issues to try and get the USA subscription interest up. If
you think that you might be interested in subscribing but just not sure, send
me your mailing address and I will be happy to send a sample to help you
decide if you would like to subscribe.
When they are gone, that's it. First come, first to get the samples.

Yes..its very strange to see this question here this AM since just last
nite I found out how bad my two CRT monitors are aon HF. My dell laptop
seems fine. Since I am about to begin building up some SDR hardware,
I'm looking for any solutions other than having to buy an LCD panel.
Wayne W9AE replies:
I doubt that you will be able to eliminate RFI without replacing the two
CRT monitors. Fortunately, LCD monitors have become remarkably
inexpensive. And with LCD monitors you will have a much sharper
display, more desk space, and less heat in your face (lower energy
consumption).
I sure don't miss my CRT computer monitor. Now I no longer have to
change the monitor's resolution/refresh rate to shift the monitor's
harmonics off the frequency I'm listening to. It's very difficult to
prevent harmonics radiating from a CRT monitor's horizontal sweep
circuit. It's a 28,000 Volt triangle wave!

I made my first and second satellite contact via SO-50 at approximately
1639UTC 2008-03-22!
My first contact was with Leo, W7JPI; followed by Jerome, W0SAT. My thanks
to both for the contacts. I was in my vehicle, parked in the driveway,
operating my Icom IC2720H with a 19" whip magmount antenna with 15 watts
power.
I now have some more questions:
When operating from a vehicle, when is it proper to indicate "mobile"? At
any time or only when actually in motion?
Also, with regard to QSL cards, what is the proper protocol? Should I send
them first? How accurate do I need to be on the time of contact?
Thanks,
Kent K5KNT
