I've got the same rig, 60' of hardline and about 7' \nof RG-8 at each end. The antenna is a 9-element Quagi from the ARRL Antenna \nHandbook, polarized horizontally.\n\nThe start of a pass is around 1268.670, climbing up to 1268.730 at the end \nof the pass. I generally don't get into the bird until it's around 20 \ndegrees up, partly due to trees. The downlink side I have a 2x8 element \nYagi with a preamp, and find that polarization changes during the pass, \nseemingly at random. I generally follow doppler by keying up and tuning \naround to find the edges where I get fuzzy, then center it. It just takes a \nsecond or two. I also find that my computer prediction is about 5khz low \n(so tune 5 khz higher than it says), but otherwise pretty accurate. Others \nhave similar offsets in the 2-5 khz range. You don't seem to need the 67 hz \ntone (and it sounds a lot better without it!). My rotors and receive rig \n(Yaesu 736R) are computer controlled; I have to run the transmit side by \nhand.\n\nKeep trying!\n\nGreg KO6TH\n\n\n\n\n----Original Message Follows----\nFrom: [email protected]\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] no go 1.2 on AO-51\nDate: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 18:24:28 +0000\n\nHello\nI'm not sure if I have some \"operator trouble\" or equipment snafus. Running \nan IC1271A 10 watts to a homebrew 40 T helix via 45 feet of 1/2 hardline. \nWith a questionable connector. Eight feet of LMR400 to the antenna. I can \nhear some you you guys, but my up link is a no go. I'm transmitting on \n1268.700 +/- 20. Considering doppler what is your uplink freq? I also \nmight have some questionable construction methods with my antenna. I \nsuppose if this were easy everyone would be doing it!\n\n--\n73 Bob W7LRD\nAMSAT member 28498\nSeattle\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
