I too enjoy working SO-50 on the odd hour\npasses. (Was out with the family last night so was on the air). I too notice\nthe bird is very sensitive to polarization. I have a separate memory\nprogrammed in for the on tone. On the late passes I'll key that shortly\nafter the bird comes over the hill and then check to see if I can hear\nmyself on the downlink. \n\nAs you said, it's a fine bird and a great alternative to the pileup on\nAO-51.\n\nI also enjoy the late passes on SO-67 when it on over NA. \n\nI'll try to be on tonight's pass. Look's like we have a mutual window from\n0440UT to 0448UT\n\n73 \n\nClear Skies\n\nRick Tejera\nEditor SACnews,\nPublic Outreach Coordinator\nSaguaro Astronomy Club\nPhoenix, Arizona\nwww.saguaroastro.org\[email protected] \nK7TEJ, AMSAT 38452\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Tom Schuessler\nSent: Saturday, January 15, 2011 10:08\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Looking for activity where there is little.\n\nHello all,\n\nWith all the rumblings about excessive, rude and uncivil activity,\nespecially on AO-51, there are passes from both SSB and FM satellites that\ngo completely unused. For the last few nights, I have drug out in the late\nevening to attempt to make a few QSO's on SO-50. On both nights, last\nevening was a 05:51 AOS 1-15-2011, I could hear the satellite via an\noccasional retransmitted carrier, but there was no one else on. Tonight in\nNorth Texas I have a great 70 degree pass at 04:38 AOS and would encourage\nothers to give it a shot, especially if you are newer to the FM birds.\n\n\nSO-50 is available 24/7 but pass times vary due to the nature of it's orbit.\nIt can be a bit challenging in different ways compared to other sats. First\nit is relatively low power, 250mw. Second, it does require a PL and I even\nforgot that it requires a different PL to activate than to just use so I\nwill have to try that tonight. (Perhaps that was the issue for me last\nnight, I will check my memories). Also it does seem to me that it does\ndownlink about 5Kc below published frequencies. SO-50 does seem to need a\nbit more switching of the polarization, (For me and my arrow, that means\nquit a bit of spinning), to hear and get in. Additionally, it is not a bent\npipe, retransmitting noise even if it hears nothing like AO-51 does so\nmanual aiming is trickey if you do not hear anything coming down.\n\nAll in all though SO-50 is a good bird to work and it would be nice to see\nsome activity on it during the odd hour passes.\n\nI will hopefully see some of you on for the 04:3x Z pass Jan 16.\n\n\n73 de N5HYP\n\nTom Schuessler\n2713 Lake Gardens Drive\nIrving, Texas 75060\n972-986-7456\n214-403-1464 (Cell)\[email protected]\n\n\n\n\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
