However, you \nknow well as I do, it's a dry heat. :)  Anyhow, great operating and keep \ncool.\n\n73,\n\nJeff  WB3JFS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Saturday, August 23, 2008 10:22 PM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] more SSB satellite experimenting (23 August)\n\n\n> Hi!\n>\n> Today, I planned to spend most of the morning at a city park\n> in north Phoenix (a park straddling the DM33/DM43 grid boundary)\n> to try a few passes on DO-64 and VO-52.  I also worked an AO-51\n> pass using my all-mode setup (two FT-817NDs with Arrow Antennas\n> handheld 2m/70cm Yagi), before those SSB birds started making\n> their morning passes here - and before it reached 41C/106F\n> outside!\n>\n> The DO-64 pass I tried first was about 22 degrees maximum elevation\n> to the east.  I could hear the beacon, and could hear my CW going\n> through the transponder.  I could not hear myself when using the\n> mic.  Since the second pass to the west was about the same elevation,\n> I didn't try it.  I was on VO-52 for two passes, both passes having\n> maximum elevation in the 20-25 degree range.  I heard a couple of\n> stations in SSB on each pass, I was able to hear myself call CQ a\n> lot during each of the passes, but logged no QSOs.\n>\n> Since I am not using computer control, I have tried not to park near\n> the center of the passbands on these satellites.  Specifically for\n> VO-52, I have tried to park around 145.910 or 145.915 MHz on the\n> downlink as not to interfere with others around 145.900 MHz using\n> full computer control.  Unfortunately for me today, nobody ventured\n> up to find me during the passes.\n>\n> During the second (western) VO-52 pass around 1825-1840 UTC, I\n> started reducing my power as I called CQ.  The FT-817ND has 4 power\n> levels, and I went down from the high power (5W) setting to the\n> lowest level (500mW) and could still hear myself clearly through\n> VO-52.  Antenna polarization was more important as the power level\n> went down, in order to get to and through the transponder.  I had\n> to twist my Yagi around more, to make sure I could make the round-\n> trip to the satellite.  This is a good thing, as now I know I can\n> use a lower power level if I am operating with only the FT-817ND's\n> internal NiMH battery pack.  I normally use one of my two 12V/20Ah\n> jumpstart battery packs to power my two FT-817NDs or (for the FM\n> birds) my IC-2720H when on the satellites.\n>\n> Since next weekend is a holiday weekend for the US (and Canada), I\n> hope to be on VO-52 and maybe DO-64 during those 3 days.  I might\n> try AO-7 if there is a high pass in my area as well.  If you are\n> on during those passes next weekend, please feel free to tune up\n> the passband.  Please be patient with me, as I am not set up for\n> computer control on my radios - yet.  If things go well, I will do\n> some demonstrations on VO-52 along with the 3 FM satellites during\n> the upcoming ARRL Southwestern Division convention here in the\n> Phoenix area on 12-14 September.\n>\n> 73!\n>\n>\n>\n> Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\n> http://www.wd9ewk.net/\n>\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
