AO-51 TXB was shut off due to low battery voltage earlier this afternoon.  I
will turn TXB on ( in a matter of minutes) and turn down the TXB transmit
power and TXA transmit power to get it through another day or so.

I was wondering is there a small 144/435 antenna?  I'm open to ideas,
trying to come up with something simple cheap and fast. It would be
put at the 20ft level on my tower. At 25 ft level is a 9 el M2 2m yagi
but its not at a angle.  I like the Elk cause it only has one feedline
but would not want to mount it outside permanently.

While this may be heresy to some, I've used my terrestrial "weak signal" 2M
and 70cm antennas many times for satellite QSO's. The 2M antennas is an M2
2M9, and the 70cm antenna is an M2 420-50-11. Each has an SSB USA preamp
powered up the coax from my FT-847. They both work very well for weak signal
use, and are mounted using a 4' mast extending out of the rotator mounted at
the top of a 5' tripod (2M above the 70cm) on the roof of a large 2 story
commercial building. I'm sure it helps that I have a 360* clear view for many
wavelengths at 2M/70cm. The beamwidth of both antennas is roughly 35*, and I
have NO problem picking up the satellites at 0*, and keeping good copy to 30*
elevation, which is enough to keep me amused on the satellites when I want to
operate. I guess the "moral" to my story is to not fret over having less than
optimal antennas, and to get on the birds, or to at least try to listen for
them. Just make sure whatever you're using can HEAR
them before you try and transmit, and always use a preamp and good coax.

Hi everyone,
There must be an easy way to load Keps from a file on a 3 1/2" floppy, but
what is it? (No internet on this laptop, but a floppy drive.)

I have 1 USB port that I hope to use for rig control,  Where can I find a
proper driver for a USB flash drive that the laptop won't recognize?  I think
this laptop (Dell Inspiron 3800) was made before these flash drives became
fashionable.

Many tnx and 73,

Hi Tony,

You can manually move them.  Bring up two directory windows one with the
floppy drive and one with the SatPC32
kep directory  (generally C:\Program Files\SatPC32\Kepler).
I would recommend that you rename the kep file on the floppy drive as
amateur.txt or nasa.all, so that it will make it easier for SatPC32 to use
the new file without your having to select a new filename each update.  Then
just select the filename after selecting Satellites .  Whatever name you
select will be used each time you startup SatPC32, until you change it,

73,
Gould

What operating system are you using?  With XP, I have never run into a flash
drive that required a driver.  They just worked.

However, with Win98SE, I had to download a driver from Sandisk before my
Cruzer drive would work.  Their site specifically states that no driver is
required for Windows ME, 2000, or XP, as well as Mac OS 9.1 or 10.1.2+

The other possibility is that you may need to download a driver from Dell
for the port itself...

Is it possible the MRO and AO-51 software reboot problem are related to the

It's could be not the lack of voltage but an erroneous voltage reading who

Make an Elk-style antenna.  Sticking the diplexer up there is no biggie.
As long as your preamp has TX/RX switching, that should survive too.

Hot glue and IP-rated boxes work wonders.

AEROCUB3

And also what to hear, if Packet at 1200 or 9600 baud ecc
Or voice or any other mode?

How hard is it to reproduce the Elk in a homebrew? It's a log perioidic and
all of the "build your own" articles I've found on the web are for yagis.
Are the log periodic's dimensions more critical?

What about building a pair of yagis (
http://www.wa5vjb.com/references/Cheap%20Antennas-LEOs.pdf) and mounting
them on the same boom?  That would eliminate the need for a diplexer,
depending on how you were planning to hook it up.

Log periodics are somewhat fiddly.

Well that's what I built - a WA5VJB for 2m and one for 70cm (3-ele and
5-ele) and an HB9ABX diplexer.  It works pretty well, but the antenna is
fiddly to tune.

I recommend tuning up each antenna separately, then fitting the diplexer
and tuning that.

We are considering an HF transponder for our next long range
CUBESAT mission planning.  It can have three modes:

1) APRS 1200 baud for command and control and APRS on 145.825
2) PSK-31 multi-user SSB uplink on 29 MHz and FM down link on
145.825
3) 29 MHz uplink and 24 MHz downlink SSB transponder

We will welcome someone in the AMSAT community that wants to
contribute to mission 3, the HF transponder.  We tried the #2
PSK-31 mission on PCSAT2 and RAFT, both failed due to HF antenna
deployment problems.  Now we are going to try again...
