    "content": "\n \nHey John,\n\nThanks for posting this.\n\n\nI remain convinced that the major reason for the \"performance\" differences between AO-27 and SO-50 is the difference in output power between the two.\n\n\nSO-50 transmits a quarter-watt (250 mW) into a 0-gain quarter wave vertical mounted on one corner of the satellite. AO-27 has a similar antenna setup, based on what I've read, but it transmits a half-watt (500 mW) into its quarter-wave vertical. That power level is consistent with the nominal power we get on AO-51. Drew and/or Gould will correct that last statement if I'm wrong, but I believe AO-51 routinely transmits around 500 mW when it's in V/U mode using the 145.920/435.300 pair. \n\n\nAnyone who wants to try AO-27 also should visit the AO-27 site (www.ao27.org) and bookmark the page you get to from there that shows the activation schedule for the satellite. We get a 7-minute window here in North America on each pass, and the AO-27 TOPR page shows the times of activation. \n\n\n73 to all,\n\nTim - N3TL -------------- Original message from John Papay <[email protected]>: --------------\n\n\n> Greetings:\n> \n> I was able to operate mobile and then portable from a few grids on \n> the way back to Ohio from Florida on April 1st.  If you worked me on \n> AO-51 in EM92 or EM93, you should receive a card in the mail \n> shortly.  No return card is necessary. I used the Arrow antenna with \n> my Kenwood mobile strapped around my neck and a small UPS battery for power.\n> \n> The EM92 operation took place at the MM47 Rest Area on I-95 \n> northbound in South Carolina.  We had one person ask my XYL about the \n> antenna etc.; they thought I might be tracking animals!  At some \n> point I was sending my grid as EM82 but I was really operating from \n> EM92.  Sorry for the confusion.  I logged 12 stations including \n> HI8LAM, WP4CNU and YV6BFE.\n> \n> The EM93 operation took place at the MM123 Rest Area on I-26 \n> westbound just south of Columbia, South Carolina.  There were a lot \n> of trees in the way at this stop and it was getting dark.  I worked \n> 11 stations from here.\n> \n> The operations from EM90 and EM91 were made on AO27 while driving on \n> I-95 in north Florida and in East Georgia respectively.  I was just \n> using my Larsen dual band antenna on the trunk lid but at a certain \n> time during the pass, stations were loud and clear.  I worked 6 \n> stations in each of those grids. If you worked me in EM92 or EM93 you \n> also got cards for these grids.  If you only worked me in EM90 or 91 \n> and need the card, please email me and I'll put one in the mail to \n> you.  No return cards are necessary.\n> \n> As many of you know, I operated from Florida from January through \n> March using a portable setup (Kenwood V7A, UPS battery and Arrow \n> antenna) in EL96 and EL98.   I also made a few contacts at the Stuart \n> Florida Hamfest (EL97) on March 21st, demonstrating satellites for a \n> few interested hams.  In addition I operated through my home station \n> in EN91 using a remote control setup over the internet. If you need \n> cards for any Florida contacts, just email me and I'll send them to \n> you.  If you need cards for EN91, please send an SAE or SASE to my \n> qrz.com address.\n> \n> Working grids on the satellites can be both challenging and \n> rewarding.  The ARRL VUCC award is the most prestigious VHF/UHF award \n> on the planet.  It's the DXCC of the VHF/UHF world.  It requires \n> paper QSL cards at the moment, however, the ARRL is working toward \n> making LOTW compatible with VUCC/Grids.  You can chase new grids from \n> your home station and then work from a grid away from home and give \n> others that new one they have been seeking.  When you travel, think \n> about taking your rig and a portable antenna.  If you get the \n> opportunity to operate from a rare grid, you will find it very \n> rewarding.  If you hear someone operating from a rare grid, work them \n> and then give them the frequency; they might be there for only one \n> pass and have made a big effort to operate from a remote \n> location.  There will be plenty of time to work the regulars when the \n> satellite is not busy.\n> \n> We have a two week period coming up where AO51 will not be in a V/U \n> FM mode.  Why not try SO50 (use a PL tone of 67.0 Hz), and AO27 \n> during this time.  You never know when a new grid might show up \n> there.  SO50 can be a little difficult since it is subject to deep \n> fading, but it is very workable during most portions of the \n> pass.  AO27 has a very strong signal and is generally on when over \n> the US.  Check the schedule for AO27 on their webpage \n> http://www.ao27.org/AO27/listing.shtml\n> \n> If you are reading the amsat-bb and happen to live in a rare grid, \n> please try to get on now and then.  Many of us will be very happy to \n> work you.
