L-bracket for Yaesu G5400/G5500 rotor available
by (KP4TR)Ramon Gonzalez 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hello, I have in my hands a brand new, never used L-bracket to join the azimuth and elevation Yaesu G5400/5500 rotors. I purchased it new from Yaesu a couple of years ago for a Kenpro rotor I purchased, but ended up never using the bracket. I don't know what price to put on it, so make me an offer direct to my email. Thanks.

Phasing haness for Tonna cross yagis
by Don Haynes 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

This is my first posting to the bb so please be gentle with me for asking a newbie question :0) I have two Tonna crossed yagis, a F9FT 144MHz 2x9 element and a F9FT 435 MHz 2x19 element. I am attempting to make circular polarised phasing harnesses for both yagis but have become confused by the information available on the internet and that given the Tonna instruction manuals. The Tonna manual states that for the 144MHz antenna the "length difference", for the harness, is 10" 13/16 and for the 435MHz antenna it is 116" 7/16 for the horizontal and 115" 3/4 for the vertical. Can someone shed some light on this? 73 Don _________________________________________________________________ Beyond Hotmail — see what else you can do with Windows Live. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665375/direct/01/

Further delays for SumbandilaSat launch Launch date is now only late July 2009 In early January the Department of Science and Technology of the Stellenbosch University signed the SumbandilaSat launch contract with Roscosmos setting the launch date at 25 March 2009. This date was later postponed till May but the latest is a further postponement till late July. No reasons have been given. However rumours have it that one of the main payloads of the rocket launch is delayed.

SATPC32
by JW 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

I just got my CD for SATPC32 and I need help! I plugged in the values for CAT and Rotor control but I can't seem to get it working. Rig is ICOM IC-821H and rotor interface is W4SME/EasyComm1 interface. Any brave soul out there care to provide guidance? It's probably something I have overlooked since the setup works well with NOVA, at least as far as Rotor control is concerned. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey everyone, Is anyone using the beta of Ham Radio Deluxe (V 4.1, Build 1989) that includes the Satellite Tracking module? If so, will you please contact me offline?

Hello! I intend to operate on the satellites AO-51, AO-27 and SO-50 with my handheld Yaesu VX-7R and vertical antenna AL-800 during my stay in Peru 11-19th April 2009. I will use callsigns 9A5YY/OA4 from Lima and as 9A5YY/OA7 from Cuzco. I will be limited with time because of other obligations. I hope I will succeed to do some satellite QSOs. Please, listen and respond me when you hear my CQ on the birds! 73 de Neven, 9A5YY
