A trouble occurs on FO-29 CW and Transponder now.
The control station tries for restoration hard.
They say as follows.
We plan the next test use until Monday.
28 Aug, 12:03 UTC
28 Aug, 22:10 UTC
29 Aug, 21:15 UTC
30 Aug, 22:05 UTC
We may not turn on a transmitter by the influence such as buildings
depending on a direction of AOS at the time of the schedule.
The amateur station who wants to use the transponder please perform
uplink after hearing the CW telemetry of FO-29.
FO-29 doubles with a receiver for communication without being equipped
with the receiver for exclusive use of the command.
When many stations do uplink during command work, please understand it
because it takes many time when we turn on the transponder.

I will activate grid DM19 (smack in the middle of NV) on August 17th during
the 2130Z AO27 pass (approximate). (It must be a rare grid because even
WD9EWK says he needs the grid!) There is a ghost town out there that I will
visit on my way to AZ. I'll be on my HT and an ARROW. If you need a QSL
for the contact, just send me an e-mail, I'll confirm with the log and send
you a card. No need for SASE or return card.
I have a shameless request. I only need New Hampshire to complete my WAS
satellite. Anyone in NH interested in setting up a schedule on any bird,
any mode? I have a granite challenge to me east (a mountain) that limits
the pass opportunities to reach the east coast, but I know I can because I
have confirmed contacts with the rest of New England.
Hope the DM19 grid will increase your totals.

Stage. And is not doing much for the list as when I see anymore posts
On it I just skip over it.. Can we please let it go and agree to disagree?

Hey everyone,
If you're interested in seeing the linear transponder that William, PE1RAH, displayed in Tokyo, you can see it here:

Hello thanks for reading,
I recently acquired a Yaesu G-5600 and experience the following:
When I turn the azimuth antenna, then the pointer gives an other value
than when I don't turn the antenna.
It lookes that the load on the powersupply causes the pointer to indicate
a different value then when there is no load.
Is this a known problem?
And is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
PE0SAT - Jan
Given that AO27 is 16 years old, how much more life are we expected to get out of it? Have their been any estimates or predictions made recently?

Hi folks.
If anyone is interested, I am going to activate the following grids on an
upcoming trip:
08/28/09, 1840Z SO-50 EM98-EM99 (WV)
08/28/09, 1935Z AO-27 EM99 (WV)
08/28/09, 2308Z AO-51 EM96 (VA)
The only reasons I can think of why I won't be "there" are traffic-related.
:<(
During the period 08/30 through 09/11 I'll be in EM91 (GA) and will try to
activate that grid a couple of times while there. E-mail me if you need
that grid and I'll send out a private message to give the interested parties
the "heads-up."
QSLing: If I already have your card from the QTH where you work me, I don't
need another one. If not, kindly send me yours via mail. The only time I
need a SASE is if *you* require one from others. Otherwise, if I don't need
your card, just send me an e-mail with the QSO data (including the grid from
which where I worked your stn) and I'll be pleased to drop mine in the
snail-mail to you! I'll mail the QSL cards no later than the week of
09/14/09.
73!

Hi,
Sometime back, while my rig was on back order, I asked if anyone had used
Icom programming cables with it. My rig finally arrived, as did shortly
thereafter new firmware and most recently a memory cloning program. With
that, I have been able to test both the Icom OPC-478 and the RT Systems
CT-29A cables. (Both need a stereo 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm adapter, plus the
EDS-10 adapter which breaks out the Alinco connector to separate microphone
and earphone connectors.) In both cases, I have found that they work
perfectly for both memory management and firmware upgrade. If you already
have a similar cable, you can probably get by with a $4 adapter from RS
rather than a new $55 cable.
Unfortunately, the DJ-G7T is not so far proving to be an adequate satellite
rig, but that is another issue.
