Good morning everybody: I'm trying to find out a way to make work AO-27 telemetry software (AO-27 TLM) with the souncard and not with an external TNC. Perhaps there is another software or workaround to achieve it. Any suggestion will be wellcome. Thanks in advance. 73, Angel, EA4DUT

Rare grid squares?
by George Henry 22 Jul '09

What are considered "rare" grid squares for satellite ops? Maybe more of us could activate them, if we only knew where they were..... George, KA3HSW

Rare Grids in South Dakota
by Jerry Felts 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

I can do some of the grids around me. DN84lc is the grid I live in. Right now it would have to be the FM sats. Rig would be my FT-60R and Elk antenna.. Also it would have to be during the day while my wife is at work. How would I notify everyone? I'd hate to go some place and not work anyone. Just getting ideas right now.

CW anyone?
by francesco messineo 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hello all, I'm in the middle of a short trip to IS0 land, I'm using the satellite antennas (2 x lindenblad RHCP) I made last december. Operations here can be almost all the time in CW, due to low signals obtainable with omni antennas and 20m RG-213 on both bands. During a few passes of VO-52 I can also work SSB in the best part of the pass and the high passes of AO-27 are also sometimes workable in FM (made a couple of contacts, amazing for omni antennas in the crowded europe). Results are really good if you ask me, but I almost always call on the linear birds for almost all the pass (2-3 degrees are already workable usually) in CW making one contact if I'm lucky. So what's wrong with CW on satellites? I hear a lot of SSB stations, but uplinking in SSB is hopeless on FO-29 and AO-07 and difficult most of the time on VO-52. I think it also would be possible to try a contact with Canada on Oscar-7, if anyone feels like trying a sked, just drop me an email. Best 73 de IS0/IZ8DWF
