Thanks Tim (N3TL) for QSO on AO-51 in V (USB) / U (FM) mode. You and a few
others were coming in 59 but there were still other strong unintelligible
stations out there. Cute trick for the satellite repeater to take USB uplink
and transmit an FM downlink.

Hey Gary,
Thanks. I was transmitting in LSB, not USB - the same as I do for the linear
satellites (LSB uplink/USB downlink). That's what I've done during previous
schedules when AO-51 had this mode operational.
73 to all,
Tim - N3TL

It is with great sadness that I learned today of the passing of a
long-term friend of AMSAT, Mario Acu?a, LU9HBG. Mario was a very senior
scientist/engineer at NASA Goddard where he made his name by providing
magnetometers for nearly every deep-space and planetary mission since
the 1970's. His vitae can be viewed at
http://ssed.gsfc.nasa.gov/vitae/acuna.html, and a nice writeup on him
can be found at
http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2005/jan/HQ_05022_acuna.html.
Mario never bothered to get a US call, although he often had HF
schedules with his relatives & friends in Argentina. In years past,
Mario and I were contemporaries at Goddard, and we often commiserated
about NASA's problems of "getting old"/"mature government bureaucracy"
and about the dearth of young innovative scientists who enjoyed
inventing new instruments. His loss hits me especially hard.
When a young Martin Sweeting wanted to fly magnetometers for navigation
on the earliest UoSAT's, Mario was the "go to" guy that put Martin on
the right track. Since magnetometers are biased by metal and electrical
currents in a spacecraft, Mario arranged for testing of the early UoSATs.
When Jan, Karl and I were trying to minimize radiation damage in
critical Phase-3 components (like the IHU and CMOS logic), Mario was our
mentor in helping to figure out the best way to minimize damage and
teaching us how to apply tantalum to the top and bottom of ICs.

Hi all! I know this might not be proper procedure but I finally found the
time to get on one of the birds tonight, ISS. I managed to work two
stations. One in San Francisco and the other was an "8" call around 0650z.
My problem...no place to write anything down and standing out in the
backyard with a TH-D7A(G) in in one hand and an Arrow antenna in the other!
I know, a tripod is on the agenda. :) Please drop me a note!
73,

Hi Folks,
I just wrote an Excel macro that decodes the TLM from AO7 from a text file
into a speradsheet.
It is my modest contribution, as I have no means to receive the bird now...
If someone is interested I can send it via email, just contact me.

A lot of us use a recorder of some type to eliminate this problem. I
generally use my iPod and a recording attachment for it, but you can pick up
a tape recorder at Radio Shack for a decent price.
Hope to hear you on the ISS!

Hi Andrew!
Thanks for the info.
I was thinking about that too. Actually I could load Audacity on to the
laptop then insert a splitter, one to the headphones, the other to the laptop,
track, record and listen at the same time.

A lot of us use a recorder of some type to eliminate this problem. I
generally use my iPod and a recording attachment for it, but you can pick up a
tape recorder at Radio Shack for a decent price.
Hope to hear you on the ISS!

Hi all! I know this might not be proper procedure but I finally found the
time to get on one of the birds tonight, ISS. I managed to work two
stations. One in San Francisco and the other was an "8" call around
0650z.
My problem...no place to write anything down and standing out in the
backyard with a TH-D7A(G) in in one hand and an Arrow antenna in the
other!
I know, a tripod is on the agenda. :) Please drop me a note!
