We will be trying to access the birds but I won't promise anything as
the past few years have not met with great success at another FD site.
Plus we will give a 'try' at 23cm EME this year. Only using a 5 foot
dish with a three element WA5VJB pc board yagi <
http://www.wa5vjb.com/pcb-pdfs/Yagi900.pdf > as the feed. I know this
is NOT optimal for this but all we want do do is really pick up the
signal from the Echo of Apollo < http://echoesofapollo.com/ > event
this weekend and this is what I have available. Last I heard they are
'planning' on using 1296.1MHz.
Will be operating as W8UM from Ann Arbor, MI (EN82dh) next to Domino's
headquarters.

Hey everyone,
This time next week, at least nine of the Original 13 Colonies will be active
on the amateur satellites as part of a special event organized by Ken, KU2US,
in New York. Here is the Web site announcing the event, and the certificate
available:
http://home.comcast.net/~dzabawa/ThirteenColonies.htm
You?ll also find updates on Ken?s QRZ.com page ? look up KU2US.
When I saw an email about this special event, I contacted Ken and asked if
he?d consider including satellite operations in the event. He responded with
an enthusiastic yes ? then told me to get everything organized as quick as I
could because we were running out of time! I?m glad to do it because this
should be a fun event for us on the satellites.
As I write this, we have commitments from stations in nine of the original 13
colonies, and they will be using the call signs for each that are listed on
the special events page. For example, I?ll be operating as K2G daily during
the special event. I intend to work at least one pass of every satellite as
K2G, every day.
Listed alphabetically by Colony, here are the stations that have confirmed to
date. The calls they will use are in parentheses:
Georgia ? Tim, N3TL (K2G)
Massachusetts ? Dave, KB1PVH (K2H)
New Hampshire ? Rik, N1XED (K2K)
New Jersey ? Marc, W4MPS (K2I)
New York ? Peter, WB2OQQ (K2A)
North Carolina ? Jim, ND9M (K2J)
Rhode Island ? Fletch, N1RCN (K2C)
South Carolina ? Art, K4YYL (K2L)
Virginia ? Steve, NL7VX (K2B)
As of now, there are four of the original 13 colonies NOT scheduled to be
active on the satellites:
Connecticut
Delaware
Maryland
Pennsylvania
Can anyone help with any of them?
The process is simple:
1 ? Please email me off the BB to let me know of your interest.
2 ? You can work as many or as few satellite passes as you like during the
special event. It?s supposed to be fun, not work!
3 ? After the event, email your log(s) to KU2US, who will handle the
certificates.
I?ll provide more information after hearing from anyone who wants to activate
one of the four remaining colonies.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to work one or more of us on passes from
July 1 through July 5. You only need to work one station to get the
certificate, but the more the merrier!
73 to all,
Tim ? N3TL

Good idea, Tim.
I'll be operating W5QX in WTX section unless we all melt before then.
Forecast is for 100+ temps to continue through the weekend.

Greetings,
I will be the satellite station (VHF/UHF terrestrial too) for the Alexandria
Radio Club (W4HFH) operating in FM and SSB modes only.
It will be interesting this year since there is a big high-tension power line
and substation in one quadrant, buildings in two other quadrants and high
steel overpasses from I-95 in the other quadrant. I wonder if I'll be able to
hear anyone? Perhaps I'll only hear my own reflected signal or maybe I can
resonant all the metal around and talk down to the horizon! Nothing like a
little RF anarchy while operating in harsh conditions I say!
What did you say your call sign was? Which station is going to be near the
center of the passband? Hi, hi!!!
Jim, N8OQ

All of them ;-)
The further away from the center of the passband, the better on Field Day,
IMHO.
This year I plan on recording as many of the transponder bird passes as
possible with my SDR-IQ...should be entertaining to listen to them in depth
afterwards.

Sebastion, Alan, Stan and group,
Thanks for all your input. In fact, it was Alan who suggested the, ah hah,
obvious (dumb) thing which was to switch the connectors on the rotators just
to be sure. The buzzing of the cable seemed to suggest an internal rotor
problem, but when I switched cables at the azi/ele the problem switched.
Brought the connectors down and the yellow rotor wire was broken off in the
storm damage at the connector. Phewwwww
So, bottom like, aside from $25 in new steel bolts to repair damaged roof
mounts, I got away pretty easy and hopefully will hear you all back on Sats
after over a year off the air...!!

Michael, you have received a lot of information about troubleshooting
the rotor on this reflector.
However, if you are not able to repair it, I just wanted to let you
know (in case you didn't see my post a few days ago), that contrary to
popular belief, Yaesu still fixes their rotors, specifically both the
G-5400/5500.
I had a bad azimuth rotor, and I shipped it to them. I believe they
charge a $35 estimate fee. If you decide to fix it, the fee is waived.
My rotor cost me just a little over $100 and was very securely shipped
to me. I received a post card when it was received, and a phone call
telling me what the total would be; once I gave the ok, I had it back
in my hands in one week, and it's up and running again.
Of course, if you are able to troubleshoot it, you will be learning
more than I did, but I admit that at this point in life, I would
rather have someone who knows what they are doing fix it, and $100 in
today's world isn't a lot of money.
