Antennas
by Douglas Anoman 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hello All, i've been reading some of the e-mails about oscar antennas. Well i needed to get a word out about Gulf alpha antennas i just received my set about five weeks ago and I am very happy. I was going to go with M2 but price and craftsman ship turned me away. Call Pete at gulf alpha the work is perfect and the antenna is right on the money and cheaper than M2 and better craftsman ship... Thank You Douglas Anoman KC9MLN Amsat #37043

Traffic Relay From Peru
by ScottOlitsky＠aol.com 11 May '09

11 May '09

I will be in Peru next month on the Inca Trail and am considering bringing my HT. I would like to be able to get messages back to family via email. Is there anyone in the southern part of the US (possibly Texas?) that could help me with this? It looks like there would be some footpaths that would cover several minutes on most days. Please respond directly to me. Thanks Scott AC3A **************Recession-proof vacation ideas.

Hygain Sat antenna RC/LC switching
by Norman W Osborne 10 May '09

10 May '09

I have a question about wiring these antenna's for RC/LC switching. Would there be a problem feeding the power to the relays along the boom (7 foot fiberglass) instead of coming off the end of the antenna's ? Also I am going to be using the myer's barbucue dish for 2.4gh antenna, would like to mount all on this 7 foot boom, would there be a problem with interaction with the 2m and 440 sat antenna's? I concerned with the distance between all these antenna's. Again thank you all for your suggestions. Norman.

D-Star cubesat...take 2
by g0mrf＠aol.com 10 May '09

Hi Andrew Geoff Tim Dave Drake and Ken. It looks like the Cal Poly site is out of action for the weekend..or something? On Friday evening I read most of the papers presented at this years worshop, but today, Sunday, the individual links to the papers are 404 errors.? However, the title / index page does appear to work. http://cubesat.atl.calpoly.edu/pages/workshops/developers-workshop-2009.php Perhaps it will all come back to life after the weekend.? At least you can see the topics covered. Fingers crossed. David? G0MRF ________________________________________________________________________ AOL Email goes Mobile!
