After working Simonyi in February, I sent my QSL card off to ARRL HQ and got
an NA1SS card back within several weeks.

Good day sat-guys:
I have an old Kenpro G5400 without computer interface and a newer Yaesu G5600B
control box.
What are the differences in the motors between these 2 series other than the
limit switches?
In case of the control boxes, I see the G5400 has starter motor caps, but the
G5600B control box doesn't.
The old motors didn't work with the 5600B box until I added a starter cap to
both the AZ and EL motor lines.
I am planning to use the 5600B box with LVB tracker- any other issues?
What do I need to do to use my old motors with the G5600B? Or, anyone have
5500 motors that they wish to sell?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bennett ko2ok

Hey everyone,
I've just heard from Gary, N2AUO, who is interested in activating Pennsylvania
on the satellites during the Original 13 Colonies special
event this week. That gives us 10 of the Original 13 Colonies that will be
active on the satellites during this event! Thanks to Gary for
his interest in participating.
At the request of the event's organizer (Ken. KU2US), those of us active on
the satellites will be IDing with our own call sign/special
event call. For example, I will be IDing as N3TL/K2G. I'll add that I'm the
station in Georgia for the special event, just to be clear.
Ken also has advised that he is adding a special satellite designator to the
certificates for those who earn them via satellite contacts.
Thanks to him for doing this.
For the latest information on the Original 13 Colonies Special Event, please
go to www.QRZ.com/ku2us.
The event begins at 1300 UTC July 1 and ends at 0359 UTC on July 5.
73 to all,
Tim - N3TL
On the 2145Z AO-51 pass i was able to get theses one below those with their
call sign and heard those with a H

K2B-VA
K2C-RI....N1RCN

K2M-PA
K2T/Mobile-NC (Will count as a contact for North Carolina on Certificate)
30% on the first shot! did a list exist with the satellite operator call sign?
As a suggestion those available can post here which
satellite they will be listening and operate.

That's exactly the worse choice IMHO and it is exactly what our German friend
choose to don't do. They remain focused on their target P3E
its the way to go but if AMSAT-NA want to go on the cubes side? It will at
least not duplicate the resources. I am still in favour on an
international HEO joint venture it's the only logical way to go...

Theoretically we may have a free ride to the Moon for an Amateur radio
repeater!
In the past, the flight to the moon for a Amateur radio project has been cost
prohibitive. We just could not afford to pay for the ride to the Moon.
NASA is going to the moon with unmanned landers. NASA is open to the idea of
flying some public service projects to the moon on their landers.
Now there exists the possibility of getting a free ride to the moon, curtsy of
NASA.
What we need are the following:
A stable club with funding to build a simple transponder project.
A plan for a simple transponder (KISS no complex P3E).
A link budget plan for a Moon transponder.
One theory:
We need a simple Mode-J transponder (2-meters up, 440 down).
Low power consumption.
Assume minimal antenna gain from the Lander (3 dBd on each antenna)
Assume transmitter power 5-10 watts.
Questions:
What?s the link budget?
How much gain will be needed on earth for such a setup?
Can we build a working mockup in 1 year or less.
The Moon is within Reach. Let?s Go for IT.

Hi Folks,
Just a reminder about the AMSAT-UK Colloquium on Sat/Sun 25/26 July. The
hotel
will stop holding our rooms after tomorrow (Fri 3 July), so it would be best
to book
over the next 48 hrs to be sure of a room being available.
The easiest way to do this is to phone the hotel on +44 (0) 1483 784444 and
quote
reference R0F (That's R zero F).
I understand that the hotel will still have rooms available after tomorrow,
but if
you book after then, availability is not guaranteed!

SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-279.02 October 4 2008
First Chinese Amateur Radio Satellite to be launched in June 2009
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 279.02
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
October 5, 2008
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-279.02
Michael Chen, BD5RV/4, reports that he recently received an update from Alan,
BA1DU, on the progress of the first Chinese amateur satellite. Things are now
going smoothly. This satellite was formerly named CAS-1 and is now XW-1. It
carries a beacon and three cross band transponders: FM, linear, and digital.
The satellite is planned to be launched into a Sun synchronous orbit in June
2009 by a CZ-2C rocket in Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in North China.
[ANS thanks Michael, BD5RV/4, for the above information]
