Hi Hi\n73\nJoe..AC4NY\nEM73dp\n\n\n(My neighbors thinks I lost it; running around the yard with a handheld \nantenna)!\n\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Les Rayburn\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Sunday, April 14, 2013 1:11 AM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] The Ham Radio Bucket List\n\n\n> I've been a ham well over 40 years, since my childhood. Back then, I could \n> barely afford the Heathkit transmitter, Halicrafters receiver, knife \n> switch, and longwire antenna that made up my shack.\n>\n> My elmer used to let me borrow his copy of QST and I'd dream about all the \n> great adventures that I'd have \"someday\" in ham radio. Being a child of \n> the Space Age, key among them were anything related to the New Frontier.\n>\n> EME (Moonbounce), Meteor Scatter, and satellites all seemed like the stuff \n> of science fiction---and I longed to experience them all. But they were \n> exotic, and required equipment far beyond my reach. I resolved to \n> accomplish them all someday and added them to a sort of ham radio \"bucket \n> list\" that I hoped to accomplish before my ham career was over.\n>\n> Five years ago, shortly after getting started in weak signal VHF work, I \n> checked off the first item on that list. Working meteor scatter contacts \n> with the aid of WSJT software, and during a Perseid shower, even using \n> SSB. What a thrill to make contacts off the ionized gasses of those tiny \n> rocks. Thanks Joe Taylor!\n>\n> Tonight, I managed to check off a second. I worked Art, K4YYL on FO-29, a \n> Japanese amateur satellite!\n>\n> My journey to the \"birds\" started about a month ago when I joined AMSAT, \n> determined that 2013 was going to be \"the year\" when I finally got active \n> on satellites. I purchased a copy of SATPC32 software, because I knew that \n> it could control my IC-910H--hopefully making it easier to get active.\n>\n> After listening to a few passes on both the FM and the SSB/CW birds, I \n> decided to try my luck on the less-crowded FO-29. A brief CQ was quickly \n> answered by Art. I adjusted the tuning knob just a bit to correct for the \n> Doppler effect, and voila! there he was clear as a bell.\n>\n> We had a brief QSO of perhaps ten minutes or so, and then we signed. I was \n> quickly called by K4FEG near Memphis in EM55---who just wanted to welcome \n> me to the birds!\n>\n> Man, what a thrill! And it wasn't tough at all.\n>\n> I'm using a 7 element 432 antenna tilted up to 15 degrees (fixed) and a 6 \n> element 2 Meter beam tilted up to about 10 degrees (fixed) both inside my \n> crowded attic. The SSB Electronics pre-amp helps a ton on 432, and the \n> 1/2\" hardline makes sure that I don't lose too much signal. So far, I've \n> been able to copy the birds down to about 2 degrees above the horizon \n> using this setup.\n>\n> Now to attempt that EME contact! I've got a 12 element Yagi just waiting \n> to deploy in the driveway once the weather warms a bit. Hoping to use WSJT \n> to work one of the monster stations on EME. All this in a deed-restricted \n> HOA neighborhood.\n>\n> I wasted 35+ years on HF----man, all the fun really is in the World Above \n> 50 MHz! Thanks for helping to make\n> a boys dreams come true at age 51!\n>\n>\n>\n> -- \n> 73,\n>\n> Les Rayburn, N1LF\n> 121 Mayfair Park\n> Maylene, AL 35114\n> EM63nf\n>\n> 6M VUCC #1712\n> AMSAT #38965\n> Grid Bandits #222\n> Southeastern VHF Society\n> Central States VHF Society Life Member\n> Six Club #2484\n>\n> Active on 6 Meters thru 1296, 10GHz & Light\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
