by Angelo Friend 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

I just took down my polarity switch for my 2 meter KLM and I need to do some work with it. I just receivedthe new relay to install but I may have damaged a trace or two. So anyone have pictures (without reply installed) or schematic of the board itself??? Thanks in advance. 73 de Angelo -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!

ISS recording Oct 16th 1338UTC
by Ben Jackson 17 Oct '08

Hey everyone, I recorded the 1338UTC pass over the Eastern US this morning. Copied a nice SSTV picture and then Garriott flipped over voice mode and spoke to VE1SKY(?) and KG7HF. I've posted the SSTV pictures that I grabbed on various passes today and the recording of the voice pass (Garriott starts talking about 5 minutes in) at http://www.innismir.net/article/49 ~Ben -- Ben Jackson - N1WBV - New Bedford, MA bbj <at> innismir.net - http://www.innismir.net/

iss voice
by Perry Yantis 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

I have tried to work ISS on voice but no luck. I find this unusual as I have auto antenna and doppler control and more power then I need. I have never made a call to ISS or shuttle and not got an answer. I am guessing that either there is so many hams trying to work Richard, or he is listening on another frequency???? Perry WB8OTH

ISS image yesterday
by santanaamt＠aol.com 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hi all: Yesterday at 1204 UTC I did get an ISS image, and the interesting thing was that it had on Hurricane Omar, for which we were lucky only a few rains fell here. It was on Robot 36 and used MMSSTV and FT-857 w/ vertical AR-2. It's like a P4 with some noise. Today did not received or heard anything, but let's see.
