Hi all,
It would be nice if more people used the
report page:
http://oscar.dcarr.org
If you hear or make contacts just report it
on the page. It takes just a few seconds to do
it.
I think it is a great advantage to have the most resent
news this way.
Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend.

I have been receiving errors:
"Warning Bad EEPROM Data" when I apply power to the LVB Tracker rotor
controller.
I have received this error 4 or 5 times now and it forces me to re-calibrate
the rotor controller.
Anyone have any idea while this happens over and over?
Thanks,

I had the same issue when mine arrived early this week but it only
happened the once and not since!

The LVB Tracker is a great little box... I have 2 for 2 separate ground
stations. Both run on the USB.
I can force the lost of memory on one of the LVB's if I switch the G5400B
rotator controller off and on too fast. If I leave the G5400b off for about
10-15 seconds before turning it back on, the LVB will usually not loose its
mind. I have 2 different G5400b control boxes and the LVB reacts the same
on both. Eprom 0.9 but also had this problem with 0.7
The second LVB is on a G5500 control box and does not display this problem.
Eprom 0.7
I have not switched the 2 LVB boxes to see if the problem is related to the
G5400 and not the G5500.
So I am now very careful when turning it OFF and ON. The OFF/ON routine is
sometimes required when the USB/Virtual Com Port goes brain dead on my
laptop and the VCOM port is lost. Power OFF/ON causes XP to refind the
virtual comport. The alternative is to unplug and replug the USB cable to
the LVB. Either way the new virtual hardware ( comport ) is found and my
SatPC32 runs normally.
I also tend to avoid the eprom problem by leaving the G5400b on all the
time.
The other issue I have with one of the LVB boxes is the poor
ground/shielding of the control cable. The elevation meter on the G5400b
would not go to 0 degrees when the antenna was horizontal. This is after a
calibration 0 to 90. Howard Long was super fast to come back by email
with a solution to this problem saying it was an indication of poor
shielding or grounding on the cable. I replaced the cable with one with
more braid and foil and it improved somewhat. When I run a jumper wire from
the chassis of the G5400b to the ground trace on the LVB PCB I then get the
needle down to 0 degrees. The LVB on the G5500 is OKAY out of the box and
that is why I haven't flashed the eprom from 0.7 to 0.9

Well, yet another lovely display of abso-bloody-lutely first class
operating on ISS :-/
Thanks in particular to the person sending "CQ CQ CQDX CQ CQ CQDX" in
ragged morse with their 1750Hz toneburst. Yes, we could all hear you.
We couldn't hear anything else. Aren't you clever?
ON7EQ had a lovely signal into the ISS but I doubt he'd hear anything
back in the soup of noise.

Could anyone who runs a 910 with Icom pre-amps and a duplexer on the 440

I've seen in several of these TLM reports that it says there are a few
milliwatts being put out on the 2.4GHz beacon. Is this a bogus reading, or
is it just too hard to receive?

Worked Bob KC9ICH, nice signal. Also heard VE2. B
But there was some awful interference. Sounded like AM signal coming
through (CB?). Speaking in Spanish, I could not make it out well enough.
Was coming on the downlink during the second half of the pass.

Stainless Steel keepers....

Gents and Ladies,
I have 2x M2 CP Yagis, one VHF and one UHF that I need to dis-assemble for
transport back to the USA. I need to compact the antennas as much as
possible to maximize my personal effects shipment to the least amount of
CuMtr volume.
These M2 Yagis use the 3/16" aluminum element mounted through the boom,
using insulated bushings and stainless steel keepers on each side of the
boom to hold the element mounted in the boom.
How does one dis-assemble these elements from the boom? Or,
How does one get the stainless steel keepers to "reverse" and slide of the
element?
The only thing I can think of is to use a Dremel Tool with bit to cut the SS
keepers in half. I suppose I can get more SS keepers once I return to the
USA. I would prefer to not go this route if there are other, better ways.
Your helpful comments and ideas appreciated.
Blessings, and 73,
Norm

Norm,
Those SS keepers are easy to get. M2 sells them by the bag, and I had no
trouble finding them at the local "Fasteners R US" for much less. A Dremel
will work, and you can also cut them with a small set of diagonal cutters.
Cut them off one side of each element, and you will save a lot of
measurement work in reinstalling the elements.

Hi All,
Recently I acquired a 7.5' dish. It's aluminum with a steel ring mount. I
estimate the dish weights maybe 50 lbs?
What is a realistic limit for a Yaesu G-5500 rotator? Would it handle a dish
of this size/weight if carefully counterbalanced? Or is it too big and silly
to even consider?
I know wind load is a concern of course, too. But I imagine keeping it close
to the ground...
I've thought about cutting it down in size to reduce weight and wind load, but
would rather not go that route...
73,
