    "content": "Hi Alan!\n\nI wanted to make a couple of points regarding some of your comments\nfrom your earlier post...\n\n> There was an article in the Journal a few issues back on why the various\n> manual techniques are only approximations, sometimes surprisingly bad ones.\n> I think the author's call was WA4SCA.\n\nYes, that WA4SCA is a good guy, smart guy.  ;-)\n\n>  So it does get talked about. With an\n> accurate clock, and current Keps it is possible to work a full pass and\n> scarcely touch the dial.\n\nI think some forget that even with computer control, you *can* touch\nthe big tuning knob on your receiver to see what may be away from\nthe center of the 50 to 100 kHz passbands.  If you don't want to\ntouch your radio(s), then use the software to tune your receiver\naround the passband.  Everyone can't work in the few kHz around\nthe center of the passbands and have multiple simultaneous QSOs.\n\nIt has been nice to see more SSB activity on the weekends.  On the\npast couple of Saturday mornings, I've heard SSB QSOs on VO-52\nfrom around 145.900 MHz up to almost 145.920 MHz.  Not as busy\nas Field Day, but you won't be out there all alone - and still have\nroom for additional QSOs.  FO-29 and AO-7 (mode B) have also\nhad more activity on recent passes I've worked.\n\n> My default is for full Doppler correction.  If the other station is using\n> it, fine.  We can concentrate on communicating.  If not, I switch off and do\n> it the traditional way.\n\nYou don't necessarily need a computer to concentrate on\ncommunicating through the linear transponders.  Computers are\nvery useful, but not mandatory.  I encourage computer control for\nthose looking to try the SSB birds, especially with software like\nSatPC32.  It will take some time to get the software working\nproperly with your radio(s), so be prepared to work with your\nradio/computer combination.  Otherwise, it will take time to get\nthe hang of working them \"old school\", without the assistance of\na computer.  It took me 6 to 8 months, including trying different\nantennas and radios receiving the downlinks, before settling on\nmy current SSB satellite station configuration.  Definitely not\n\"EasySats\", like the FM birds are called, but not impossible to\nwork.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n",
