K8YSE, for posting the recordings he's made of\nSO-67 passes over North America. His most recent recording, which he began\nat 15:00:38 UTC, provides proof that - even amid the chaos of a pass like\nthat one - very low power levels can work our amateur satellites. Anyone who\nlistens to the recording will hear the weak-signal call of N3TL at 8:51 into\nthe recording. I'm faint, but I'm in there ... on 50mW (.05 watt) from my\nYaesu VX-7R HT and Elk dual-band log periodic antenna. \n\nKI0G surprised the heck out of me when I heard him call me several seconds\nlater. When he did, I thought, \"He must be calling me blind. There's no way\nI made it through on 50 milliwatts.\" No matter - I spent the rest of the\npass transmitting QSLs for our contact, but K8YSE's recording shows that I\ndidn't make it back into the satellite before he (K8YSE) left the footprint.\nIf someone farther south has a recording that includes me QSLing Bob, KI0G,\nby all means please email me a copy.\n\nMy signal made it into SO-67 beginning at 15:09:29 UTC and ending at\n15:09:30 UTC. According to Orbitron, SO-67 was pretty much right at the\nintersection of 30 degrees north x 90 degrees west, or right on top of the\n4-grid boundary of EM40, EM50, EL49, EL59. She was at a range of 882.050\nkilometers (548.0805 miles) to my handheld station in EM84 at 15:09:30\nUTC. Based on those distances, my power level translates to 17,641\nkilometers (10,961.61 miles) per watt. Given how busy SO-67 has been over\nNorth America the past two weekends, I'll take that!\n\nDuring that pass, I tried to time my transmissions based on Mr. Cresswell's\nposts to the BB on 14 November about the two passes he worked and observed\nthat day over New Zealand. Specifically, I listened for people to\nimmediately return calls, then have their signal drop out when the\nsatellite's tail dropped out. When that happened, I transmitted - and on at\nleast one occasion that K8YSE captured in his recording, flea power found\nits way to our newest amateur satellite.\n\nThank you, everyone at AMSAT-SA, for building, launching and orbiting SO-67.\nShe is a wonderful addition to the fleet, and one I'm proud to have worked\non .05-watt.\n\n73 to all,\n\nTim - N3TL\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
