ft-726 options help, radio soon FS
by Eric Fort 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

I have a yaesu ft-726 that I'm presently trying to determine what options it has installed. I know it has the 2M/430/21-28mhz modules and ctcss tone board installed but how do I tell if it has the sat module or what other options it may have? Help in determining this is much appreciated. Thanks, Eric AF6EP

Basic Packet How-To for ARISS and PCSAT
by JoAnne Maenpaa 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi everyone, I put together a very basic overview of how to get started with packet via ARISS and PCSAT-1: http://home.comcast.net/~k9jkm/ARISS_Packet_How_To/ Please take a look and let me know what needs to be fixed or added? I've been 'elmer-ing' a few hams about ARISS packet and my web content is pretty much based on what I've been asked about. Its not intended to be a comprehensive AX.25 packet or APRS guide. Most hams I've worked with had basic packet knowledge from back in the 1990's but now wanted to know what else they had to do to get on 145.825 MHz space packet. There will always be plenty for you to learn ... hopefully my quick-start guide will get you up and running for your first QSO. -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM k9jkm(a)amsat.org

There's a Cookies folder under c:\Documents and Settings\{your user profile name}... you must have the folder option to Show Hidden and System Files turned on to see it, though. Just drop the cookie in there, and you're set (if the cookie itself hasn't expired) 73, George, KA3HSW -----Original Message----- >From: John Hackett <archie.hackett(a)hotmail.com> >Sent: Dec 4, 2007 11:57 AM >To: w7lrd(a)comcast.net >Cc: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org, "Eu-amsat(a)yahoogroups.com" <eu-amsat(a)yahoogroups.com> >Subject: [amsat-bb] Agree ... and HELP !!!. > > >Hey Bob, > That's a great !!! idea ...

Hey Bob, That's a great !!! idea ... I wish !!!! I knew how to do it. Emily, who wrote the program "disappeared" into the "Second Life" virtual world over a year ago and has not been heard of since!. She used to send me a cookie every December to reactivate the annual editing privilages I had from my computer. I have a copy of the cookie but have no idea ! where it should go to activate the program again. Last December I just messed around with it and somehow managed to get it into the right place by a fluke! ... sheer luck ... this December, after messing about all day I can't find out where it should go. Needless to say, I am most definately *NOT* an IT guru. I'll bat this mail to both reflectors Bob just in case somebody recognises the problem and can advise me how to correct it. 73 John. <la2qaa(a)amsat.org> From: w7lrd(a)comcast.net To: la2qaa(a)amsat.org Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] AO-7 ...

AO-7 ... N1DID & K9CIS note.
by John Hackett 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi All, It's December again ... (ho -ho-ho) ... and consequently my administrative privilages for The AO-7 Resource Page log have expired. (This means I can no longer edit the mistakes) Emily N1DID hasn't responded to my mails so the log will probably very soon get out of hand again. Frank (K9CIS) on orbit 51248 at 23:27 you've logged K3SZH twice for the same QSO. Each station can still edit their own entry (but nobody else's) by clicking on the hourglass at the left of your entry. A new screen will pop up and you can just correct any mistakes. PLEASE !!! be careful to enter the correct data because if you don't notice your error it will soon throw the log statistics out of whack and defeat the entire object of the log ... which is an ACTIVITY log *NOT* a contest log. I have administered the log for three years but am now concentrating on a different long term activity regarding AO-7 which, hopefully, will benefit the entire amateur satellite community - commencing in the spring of 2008. A request to the ANS editor regarding careful entries in the log and how to edit it would be very much appreciated. 73 John. <la2qaa(a)amsat.org>
