Newbie Question re QSLs
by Kent Frazier 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

I just made contact with Leo, W7JPI via the ISS cross-band repeater on the 1400 UTC pass. I've made contacts and exchanged QSLs with him before, but never via the ISS. Does one usually exchange QSLs when contact is made via a different satellite? I couln't find an email address for Leo to ask him directly. 73, Kent K5KNT ARRL AMSAT #36765

AO-7 RTTY telemetry equations?
by Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi! Mark WA8SME asked me to post this to the -BB. He is focusing on satellite telemetry for his Teacher's Institute this summer. With AO-7 transmitting telemetry in RTTY, Mark is interested in getting the equations or other information that can be used to interpret the data. He - and I - have found the spreadsheet used with the CW telemetry, but we have not seen anything similar for the RTTY telemetry. Is there a separate spreadsheet or other document that can help with the RTTY telemetry? Or does the CW telemetry spreadsheet work for the RTTY telemetry? If possible, please reply directly to Mark. His e-mail address is mspencer -at- arrl.org Thanks in advance, and 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/

LVB Tracker and HRD Sat Tracker setup Problem
by racer5039 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I got my LVB Tracker box today and while going through the setup I have found a couple of things. To start off. I am using HRD 4.1 B2055, Sat Tracker 4.1 B 2019. Radio is a Kenwood 2000 Rotor is the G-5500 In the rotator set up of HRD there is no option for the GS 232B so I have no control of the ELEV. I have looked thought the other posts on HRD site but cant seem to find any talk of a fix for this. I have check the com to the rotor and can move them by hand just fine with both the GS 232 & EasyComm. Can someone point me to the right area to fix this problem please. Thanks Marv N0FJP

FW: AO-7 DX-list NEW-UPDATE
by Pierre van Deventer 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hmmmm beter QSL kry en aan stuur, ek is nog nie eers mooi op die lys nie en hy wil my afhaal Hi... Ek het nog nooit QSL van PY2UNU ontvang nie ? Ek dink ek het direk ge QSL !! Pierre -----Original Message----- From: amsat-bb-bounces(a)amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-bounces@amsat.org] On Behalf Of SV1BSX Sent: 03 March 2009 01:32 To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-7 DX-list NEW-UPDATE Hello all, the new updated "AO-7 DX-List" is already uploaded and we have 2 NEW Records for the 1st & 2nd place of the "Longest Distance QSO" via AO-7!!! The 1st "New WW Record" has been achieved by W4FDU and LU2DPW on CW-Mode. The distance between the 2 stations (EL89TP <> GF05GI) is 7537 Km, about 99 Km more than previous record ! Well done ! The 2nd place has been also changed with a second New-Record of 7524 Km by AA4FL and LU2DPW (....LU2DPW "strikes" once again !). The previous Record (7438 Km) by Joe, K3SZH and Fabio, PY4AJ, it's now in the 3rd place of DX-List. Congratulations to all operators ! Great competition ! For more details visit the new URL of page: http://www.qsl.net/sv1bsx/oscardx/ao7-dx.html ....and a few "Tips": Please keep in mind, I have set a new "Limit" for each operator in order to send me NO more than 2 QSOs maximum. So, please send me just your "first two" best DX contacts - no more- in order to keep the List as short as possible (and interesting !). The participation does not have meaning if includes a lot of contacts for each one operator, there is not any sense to send me somebody 5-10 QSOs and the most of these with a distance lower than 6500 Km. We looking for the "Longest distance DX-QSOs" via AO-7 - NOT for a.... Long-long boring List. Actually, after a few months I will keep into the DX-List ONLY the confirmed QSOs . Thus, in my new page only these QSOs (Highlighted with Yellow-color) have "counting" - including the foto of QSL-card. The NON CONFIRMED QSOs are already without any number (counting) in the 1st column and they will be erased the next year from the list, if the concerned operators don't send me the relative QSL-cards. That it was a request by several operators which have already Confirmed QSOs and I agree with that, it's absolutely fair. As they used to say: "The Final Courtesy of DX-QSO is a QSL Card" ! BTW I am fully surprised about the complete absence of MODE-A in the DX-List ! Nobody? Why that? After a few weeks the Old-girl will enter in new eclipse-period, so we will lose the 24/7 "switching" between Mode-A & B. Finally, pse check your personal entries (...if you have) in the DX-List and let me know for any possible error -particularly- in the "Distance (Km)" and "Locator" columns. The most participators have different programs, they don't use the "TinyLocator" for the distance-calculation and thus, I need to re-calculate several entries in order to make an accurate DX-List. That is not easy if I have 10-15 new entries per update, so ...."don't shoot the pianist" ! Just let me know about the fault and I will correct it ASAP.

ANS-062 AMSAT News Service Special Bulletin - March 3 is AMSAT's 40th Anniversary
by JoAnne Maenpaa 03 Mar '09

SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-062.01 ANS Special Bulletin: March 3 Marks AMSAT's 40th Anniversary AMSAT News Service Bulletin 062.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. March 3, 2009 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-062.01 March 3, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of AMSAT's incorporation. AMSAT was incorporated in the District of Columbia on March 3, 1969. Perry, W3PK who was AMSAT President from 1969 to mid-1980 said, "We filed the application for incorporation 40 years ago on Feb. 27, 1969. A copy of the filing has been saved at: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/AboutAmsat/documents/incorporation.php You can see a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation at: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/AboutAmsat/documents/certificate.php Perry is working with Dick Daniels, W4PUJ to preserve the original AMSAT Newsletters, archived in paper format onto electronic media. Additional AMSAT history can be found in the archives of the "Amateur Satellite Report" Newsletters scanned and converted to PDF by Phil Karn, KA9Q. Phil has these issues posted on his website (with AMSAT's permission). See: http://www.ka9q.net/newsletters.html As the electronic archive project makes progress Perry will issue a call for one or more volunteers willing to receive scans of additional issues JPEG format via e-mail, perform the OCR work and help us change them to searchable PDF files. Watch upcoming issues of The AMSAT Journal for articles of AMSAT's roots. AMSAT will also feature 40 years of our accomplishments at the 2009 Dayton Hamvention. [ANS thanks Perry, W3PK for the above information] /EX
