I'm very sad to hear the bad news about Mak, it was alway's a pleasure to say hi to him via the sat's.
He will be sadly missed, goodby my friend.

I am really happy to tell everyone of a terrific "SDR" experiment. HI.
Our colleagues in AMSAT-DL have been working towards demonstrating
several of the pieces to allow for interplanetary communications in the
event the Phase V mission to Mars comes to fruition.
A team consisting of many well known amateurs including Wolfgang Büscher
(DL4YHF), Freddy de Guchteneire (ON6UG), Hermann Hagner (DK8CI),
Michael Lengrüsser (DD5ER) , Karl Meinzer (DJ4ZC), James Miller
(G3RUH), Max Münich (DJ1CR), Hartmut Paesler (DL1YDD), Achim Vollhardt
(DH2VA).
The AMSAT-DL web page is here:

and the English press release is here:

In the photographs attached to these pages and press releases, one can
see the SDR-IQ and Spectrum Lab. Congrats to RFSPACE
(http://rfspace.com/Home.html) and Wolfgang DL4YHF
(http://freenet-homepage.de/dl4yhf/spectra1.html).
I hope everyone joins in congratulating this team on their multiple year
effort and outstanding achievement.

Hi Folks,
sorry for the OT message.
I own the rotator Yaesu G-5400B which are a Azimuth and elevation rotators.
I had enclosed with the pack when I bought it an "L" bracket.
Unfortunately due to maintenance I have lost the Bracket.
Please is there anybody which own one and can pass me all the measures
So I can build a new one? I need the measures of the "L" bracket and the
right
Positions of the holes to fix the two rotators.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Betreff: [amsat-bb] Re: First SSTV Rx
That looks like KO6TZ's picture. I've seen it many times !
And it does NOT take too much audio to make the MMSSTV work. I can turn the
volume down on my radio to where I can just hear it on the speaker, and
that's enough. Louder is OK, as long as you don't crank it up where it's
all distorted.
