There's even some\ntheoretical overlap of 0.8 minutes from the Shetlands to Redding,\nCalifornia (thus 49 states), but you'd better have good horizons and\na good receiving setup. I'll be seeing if that much overlap might be\nenough to make it to Alaska on AO-51 (as Iceland has been worked from\nthere without sked).\n\nWhat it really came down to was size/weight and how to compensate for\ndoppler on the uplink, as the SSB rig that i've been offered doesn't \nhave computer control. Even if it did, there are too many software\nissues to solve prior to travel and i'd need to take the docking\nstation (nearly doubling the computer's weight) if i needed a real\nserial port. But what it really comes down to is that don't want to\ncarry any more weight (that is assuming the rig[s] would even fit in \nmy luggage), as it does not make sense to have a car for the third of \nthe trip that we're in Edinburgh or Glasgow. So unless someone in the \nSF Bay Area (or Scotland) can offer a better idea, higher orbit LEO's \nwon't happen this trip. \n\n> \"if this were easy, everyone would be doing it\"\n\nYeah, maybe next trip i'll have access to suitable equipment. I've been\ntalking to another local ham about a small dsPIC-based SSB transmitter \nand/or receiver. But even if hardware existed a month ago, it's unlikely\nthe software issues would have been solved in time... It's too bad that\nYubileiny doesn't have mode J-FM. Maybe someday someone else can put up\nsomething more useful into that kind of an orbit.\n\n\t\t\t\t-- KD6PAG\n", "attachments": [] }
