    "content": "Hi Patrick,\n\nThat's pretty impressive, working a linear sat with an\n Arrow and manual tuning.  You must have 3 hands. \nHope to work you someday on the linear birds.\n\nBy the way, I'm back in Florida now after a summer in\nEurope and Africa.  Had about 30 FM sat QSOs in Europe\nand 14 in South Africa, using an HT and an Arrow.\n\n73, Bill NZ5N \n****\nDate: Sat, 9 Aug 2008 15:50:46 -0700 (PDT)\nFrom: \"Patrick STODDARD \\(WD9EWK/VA7EWK\\)\"\n<[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb]  WD9EWK's first non-FM satellite\nQSOs today!\nTo: [email protected]\nMessage-ID:\n<[email protected]>\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii\n\nHi!\n \nAfter months of trying to make a portable station that\nwould \nallow me to work the SSB/CW satellites (first with an\nFT-817ND\nand AOR AR8200Mk2B wide-band receiver, then later with\ntwo \nFT-817NDs, all using my Arrow Antennas handheld Yagi),\nI finally \nmade everything work.  At 1756 and 1758 UTC today, I\nlogged my \nfirst two satellite QSOs not using FM on either the\nuplink or \ndownlink.  As I expected, it was not an easy thing;\nFO-29's 2m \nuplink seemed to make it a bit easier than a 70cm\nuplink like I \nhad tried before on VO-52 or AO-7.  Now, after over\n4100 satellite\nQSOs in the last 2 1/2 years or so, I can say I've got\nat least a\ncouple SSB satellite QSOs to go with the others I've\ndone on FM.\n \nI know that computer control for either - or both - of\nthe radios\nis the preferred way to go.  Less work for the\noperator, reducing \nhow much my signal moves through the passband due to\nDoppler, and\nsimply more time to work other stations.  I will most\nlikely end \nup with a portable setup using a small laptop that can\ncontrol \nthese two FT-817NDs or some other radio(s),\neventually.  I will \nalso rig up a tripod or something for the Yagi, or try\nanother \nantenna, so I don't have to hold it while trying to\nwork the \nradio(s).  I decided that the 1745-1759 UTC FO-29 pass\nthis \nmorning to my east would probably be a good pass to\ntry.  Good \nelevation, and a footprint covering most of North\nAmerica.  I set\nup my radios in the back of my truck just over the\nline into grid \nDM44ha northeast of Phoenix AZ, and tried my luck.\n\nIt took a couple of minutes to get used to finding my\nsignal in\nthe downlink.  My 5W signal with the Yagi was more\nthan enough. \nI heard some CW early in the pass, then I could hear a\ncouple of\nvoices - Joe K3SZH and Jeff K7WIN.  When those two\nfinished their\nQSO, I quickly called K7WIN.  K3SZH came back instead,\nand I made \na quick QSO with Joe.  I followed that up with another\nquick QSO\nwith Jeff K7WIN.  Both Joe and Jeff commented I had a\ngood signal\nthrough the satellite.  Thanks for the QSOs, and\nespecially for\ndealing with my non-automated station near the end of\nthe pass!\n\nNow I can go back to working on VO-52 and AO-7, plus\nthe new Delfi\nsatellite, and see if I can do the same with a non-FM\nsatellite \nusing a 70cm uplink.  And keep on working FO-29, a\nvery nice bird.\nI'm not turning my back on the FM birds, but adding\nmore options \nwhen I want to play radio via satellite.  :-)  \n\n73!\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n      \n",
