AO51 with ssb uplink
by DOBarrows＠aol.com 29 Oct '06

Worked control operator KE4AZN and Joe, N3PKC on AO51 with the uplink set for ssb on the 0104z pass 10-30-06. The higher power setting on the downlink helped me get my input aligned better. I noticed that my signal was clearer when I set my transmitted signal from upper to lower sideband. Dave W8IJ

NOVA: Magnetic Storm
by Robert McGwier 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

There is a really fantastic NOVA on the magnetic fields of Earth and Mars. It is entitled "Magnetic Storm". A regular AMSAT technical contributor and famous magentic field specialist, Mario Acuna, LU9HBG plays a prominent role in the NOVA episode. I really enjoyed this one. Bob -- AMSAT Director and VP Engineering. Member: ARRL, AMSAT-DL, TAPR, Packrats, NJQRP, QRP ARCI, QCWA, FRC. ARRL SDR WG Chair "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." - Einstein

MP3s from XF4DL via AO-51 (2006-10-29 0317 & 0458 UTC)
by Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

Hi! XF4DL showed up on another AO-51 pass last night, around 0455 UTC, but there were only 2 other stations on that pass besides me that made QSOs with them. I made MP3s of the recordings I have from those two passes, and you may download them from: http://www.geocities.com/xe2wd9ewk/xf4dl/ This is on free Geocities web space, so hourly bandwidth restrictions are in effect. If you have problems with that web site and want a copy of either MP3 (or both of them), please e-mail me directly. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/

SSETI Symposium presentation
by Greg D. 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

At the 2006 Symposium there was a presentation on Cubesats late in the day on Saturday that had to be cut short. I forget who was speaking (sorry!), but the analysis of what happened on the SSETI launch was going to be covered on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, I could only attend the one day, and missed the answer to the clif hanger. What was the answer? Thanks, Greg KO6TH _________________________________________________________________ Get today's hot entertainment gossip http://movies.msn.com/movies/hotgossip?icid=T002MSN03A07001

SAT PROGRAMS AND TIME CHANGE
by Doug Kuitula 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

Hi all, This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway. While going through the house changing all the clocks for Standard time this morning, I started to think about how most satellite tracking programs automatically change from standard to daylight savings time. With us changing next year to March and November, won't there have to be some sort of change in the software? I'm using Instant Track and have no experience with other programs. So I'm not sure if there is a method to change with them. 73 de Doug........KA8QCU
