    "content": "Hi!\n\nI've had an AIDC 3731 downconverter, one converted by K5GNA, for just\nover a year.  I haven't used it until tonight, when I had some free time in\nthe evening.  I took it and a bunch of stuff to my stepson's Boy Scout\nmeeting (a church in grid DM43ap, northeast Phoenix), and hoped to\nwork an AO-51 pass while he was in his meeting.\n\nAfter a storm blew through Phoenix (it kept me off an SO-50 pass around\n0220 UTC), the skies cleared enough to make a try at the AO-51 pass\naround 0320 UTC.  I set up my station, and waited for the satellite.\n\nTX was my IC-W32A HT at 5W, turning off the 70cm side of the radio,\ninto my Arrow Antennas 2m/70cm handheld Yagi.  RX was with the\ndownconverter into a Yaesu VX-2R (I could disable TX on this radio, to\nprotect the downconverter - plus it had an attenuator).  I had a 6dB\nattenuator in the coax line, along with the VX-2R's attenuator function,\nso the S-meter wasn't moving much until I heard the satellite.  Once I\nfound the downlink, it wasn't hard to keep up with it through the pass.  I\nlet the downconverter with its dipole and corner reflector sit on the car's\nroof, and had a splitter from the VX-2R's speaker-mic jack to feed an\nearpiece and my Sony digital recorder.\n\nI heard one QSO finish up, then I made a call.  Angelo N5UXT in New\nOrleans heard me and I worked him first, then I was called by WA4EWV.\nI heard a W9HT toward the end of the pass, but could not work that\nstation.  I could follow the Doppler on the RX signal well enough, and\nevery so often the signal would take a dip and then come back up.  If I\nheld the downconverter and twisted it, I could get the signal back up,\nbut most of the time I just set it on the roof in the general direction of\nAO-51 and held the Yagi in one hand and a speaker-mic into my IC-W32A\nwith the other hand.  I really wish I had a small camera or camcorder with\nme, to get a photo of my \"station\", but at least I have an audio recording\nof the pass with my 2 contacts.\n\nI am impressed with how well the downconverter worked, and with AO-51 in\nthis V/S configuration.  This was the first time I did anything that used a\nham frequency above 23cm.  I'm hoping to have some time Friday morning\nto work an AO-51 pass and try this again, but if that's not possible I want to\nwork some passes this weekend before the mode change.  This was fun!\n\n73!\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - Phoenix, Arizona USA\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
