You would think that after 16 years of fooling with satellite I would know the first thing to check is the tracking program time setting. Guess old age is catching up.

nothing heard on SSTV AO-51
by John Price 15 Nov '08

I have been trying the SSTV on AO-51. Sure have not had any success. I have not heard anyone else or myself. Is anyone else having any success? I have checked everything possible here and all seems fine. I can send and receive images to myself so I know it works. Can anyone verify there operation is working? thanks << John -- N4QWF Amateur Radio Operator AO-7,AO-27,SO-50,AO-51,VO-52,ISS Internet N4QWF(a)AMSAT.ORG Echolink nodes #110903 -L #388463 Formerly KC4AHW VK3FEZ Amsat Member #27845 DXCC #33,478 VUCC SAT #135 WAS SAT #296 51 on AO-51 #13 LON -79.256 LAT 37.459 Grid FM07il >From the Foothills of the Blueridge *Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - "WOW, What a ride!"

Hey everyone, I'm wondering whether anyone who uses the BB has had recent contact with anyone at the QSL.net Web site. I would like to take advantage of their Web page setup, but haven't been able to get anyone to respond to me via email. Any direction will be really helpful. Thanks, and 73, Tim - N3TL AMSAT Member No. 36820 Athens, Ga. - EM84ha

Received Pix from AO-51??
by John Marranca, Jr 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Good Evening, everyone. Is there anyone that has saved and possibly posted any received images from the 2330z pass of AO-51? I am curious to see how I did...it was close to a 90 degree pass for me...VERY loud signals, indeed. Thanks!

NOVA help
by ANTHONY JAPHA 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

I love my NOVA, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to get the doppler screen to work. No matter what I put in, it's garbage out. I'm sure many of you have used it correctly. Any hints would be appreciated. Tnx and 73, Tony, N2UN
