Florida AMSAT Net for tonight
by David J 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Due to technical difficulties with the 443.100 N4HHA repeater, check-ins in the Orlando area should listen for tonight's Florida AMSAT Net on either the KE4TTE 442.100 MHz repeater or the K4SLB 444.450 MHz repeater. I will use the 442.100 freq. as net control. If I have any problems linking into that machine, the 444.125 WD4HIM repeater will be my backup. Dave, AA4KN

Trakbox and Parking Frequency.
by Vincenzo Mone 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi to the list, it is a while that I've noticed that my trakbox when it terminated to track the satellites it should put my radio in parking frequency which should be: RX_Freq : 1296.500 TX_freq :144.800 But I always get: RX_Freq: 1296.499.9 TX_freq: 144.800 How you can see, the RX_Freq is 1 Hz down. I've tried to set the RX_Freq to 1296.501 But when it parks, it goes to: 1296.500.9 Can anybody explain me what happens? Thanks in advance. 73 de Enzo IK8OZV EasyLog 5 BetaTester EasyLog PDA BetaTester WinBollet BetaTester D.C.I.

Prospero not heard

Hi Thanks to those who supplied interesting information on this thread. I monitored three passes today (Monday) 08:17, 11:46 and 13:28. Nothing heard and nothing visible in the Spectran waterfall display. I only have a modest station. 5el X yagi. Be interesting to see if anyone with a n EME standard receiving set up could detect anything. Any takers ?? 73 John G7HIA

Fades suddenly comes and I feel that modulation of FM down signal is shallow. Isao / JM1WBB

by David J 01 Nov '06

The Florida AMSAT Net will meet this Thursday evening at the usual time of 19:30 ET, 23:30 UTC on the West Florida Group Ni4CE repeater system, the Orlando N4HHA repeater at 443.1 MHz, 103.5Hz tone, the N4LEM Cocoa repeater, 147.36 MHz +107.2 PL or connect by echolink to KG4YZY-R. The net's purpose is to provide a platform for hams with amateur satellite interest to meet and discuss topics of interest. All amateurs are invited to join in. PLEASE NOTE: If the N4HHA repeater is not available tomorrow evening, the net will most likely be held on the 444.125 MHz W4AES repeater 103.5 Hz tone access. Dave, AA4KN

Reinhardt Richter DL1KM - SK
by Emily Clarke 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

I received the following message concerning the passing of Reinhard Richter DJ1KM. I don't know what the complete distribution is, so I thought I should forward it to the BB. If you are not familiar with Reinhard, I first met Reinhard when he was working on the AMSAT-DL Website, most directly he was managing the AO-40 Schedule. He was active on AO-40 and I `had several contacts with him in the short time I was working that bird. 73, Emily >Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2006 16:13:09 +0200 >From: Reinhard Richter <r.richter(a)dj1km.de> >Reply-To: Reinhard Richter <dj1km(a)amsat-dl.org> >Organization: - >To: DF3KV Peter Völpel <DF3KV(a)darc.de> >Subject: traurige Nachricht > >Dear friends & OM'S, > >today we have to annouce to You the sad news >that Reinhard Richter (DJ1KM) has passed away >on October 27th, 2006.
