I wonder if, for the newcomer, the term U/V etc may be easier to
understand than a seemingly arbitary letter that you then need to research to
understand what band your uplink and downlink should be on.

Steven,
Try using this site for the most current satellite activity as reported by
other HAMS: http://oscar.dcarr.org/ also, add to it as you go along and for
other and additional satellite info use all the links you are getting, here
on the board and at AMSAT, Google, etc., the info is out there, its just
not all in one place and there is a lot of old info laying around to confuse
you, as well!

Hey, I called Yaseu to order the pots and have 6 coming. Why so many
you ask? I was going to order a few of the pots for the rotor as well
while I was at it and found out they no longer stock them. If you have
a 5400 I would call Yaesu and get some of the control box pots while
they are still available. I have the phone number and part number if
you need it.

Well thanks to everyone who gave me helpful hints and ideas
I did almost make a contact today!
I know I got into the SO50 today at about 11:10 - 11:11 est (local time) I
heard some one give my call back and a brief report
Unfortuntally at the same time doppler shifted on me and I wasn't fast enough
to keep up
I am using a th-d7ag and unfortunally there is not a way to program the odd
band split in memory (at least not that I have found) so no matter what you
have to hit two buttons. Anyways I diegress
I replayed my recording serveral times and think - I think
The man who came back to me was ND9M in FM29 (delaware)
Which would be cool if it was -
I was not able to complete the contact - so that doesn't really count does it
After all of my frustration thou I am still chulking this one up to a WIN!!
I would like to confirm somehow that it was ND9M that heard me
So I am posting here :-)
Thanks again to all who have helped!

Hi LeRoy and all,
You are correct on Jim, ND9M in FM29 on that pass. I worked
him from my mobile at 1509utc (1109 eastern) on that pass of S0-50.
If I had been at home, I would have had a recording to give you also.
Welcome to the birds! Hang in there, it only gets better.

Rick,
Thanks I did hear your call in there as well -
The audio was on the pass was pretty weak even thou it was a fairly high pass.
I guess that is were a preamp would come in handy

Haha :-)
It is at very least satellite science -
I am putting this one down in my WIN colum just the same
Based on my past experainces this was 1000 times better -- ok not really a
1000 maybe 100 times better - the things I have learned over the past three or
four months has started to kick in I think.
Wish I could have keep up with the doppler a little better but all is not lost
There is another high pass of SO50 tomorrow I forget what time 4pm local I
think - I am going to try again should be better
Thanks, LeRoy, KD8BXP

LeRoy,
Congratulations! And welcome to orbit!
You are accomplishing a lot with you SO-50 contacts because of the very nature
of that satellite. It transmits 250 milliwatts(a quarter-watt) into a 0-gain,
quarter-wave vertical mounted on one corner of the satellite. I consider it
our QRPp station in space.
I'll be listening for you, and I hope we'll get to work soon.
73,
Tim - N3TL

Thank you!
I really found it easier to work then the AO51 which is what I was getting so
frustrated with - I have only tried the SO50 twice. The frist was kind of a
mess but I did get into the sat - apparently although I didn't make any
contacts because I didn't know what I was doing - it was also the first or 2nd
time that I used the duplex feature of the radio (feedback opps so very
sorry). This time I went back to keeping it simple - no duplex and I knew I
was close
As I said in aprevious post there is another high pass tomorrow (71 or 74
degrees) I am going to give it a try again.
It is starting to get fun now that it is not so frustrating
I don't know if I ever got into the ao51. Everytime I catch that one there are
a ton of people on it
But I will try that one again sooner or later
Thanks,
LeRoy KD8BXP

Oh btw for anyone that is interested I did post the audio up on a website -
http://kd8bxp.podbean.com
Maybe someone else can verify what I think I heard. There is a lot of static
I also have two of my ao51 attempts
