The G6LVB unit also works great with Orbitron and the Wisp driver. RoD KD0XX --- On Mon, 3/2/09, Mark L. Hammond <marklhammond(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: Mark L.

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

AO-51 V(ssb)/U fun!
by Mark L. Hammond 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi all, Had a great LONG QSO with Marc N1SDH this morning on AO-51 on the V(SSB)/U repeater. Audio sounds great on this mode and even lets you "double" a bit and still hear each other :) Here is my DOPPLER.SQF entry for SatPC32: AO-51,435150,145880,FM,USB,Nor,0,0,SSB V/U I was within 100Hz of being "on the money" with the uplink (TS-2000x). Give it a try...you too might find it fun and a bit different from the "same ol' same ol'" FM Repeater, V(SSB)/U Uplink: 145.880 MHz SSB Downlink: 435.150 MHz FM 73, -- Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]

AO-7 DX-list NEW-UPDATE
by SV1BSX 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

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. Thanks in advance 73 de Mak, SV1BSX Email: sv1bsx "AT" yahoo .gr URL : http://sv1bsx.50webs.com

News for the Southern Hemisphere only

Hi All, VERY GENTLE DX-PEDITION TO THE SOUTH ATLANTIC Commencing March 7th 2009, I will be onboard MV Minerva which is visiting the islands off lying Antarctica. The schedule includes visits to South Georgia (VP8) on March 12 &13th and Tristan da Cunha (ZD9) on March 18 &19th before arriving in Cape Town on March 24th. Activity is planned via SO50, AO51 and the ISS (if available) from the ship and, if licences can be obtained, from the islands themselves. I intend to take FM handhelds and an Arrow antenna and hope to have at least some limited internet access which can be used to arrange skeds. 73 Graham G3VZV/MM
