Any video being offered after the symposium?
by James French 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Was wondering if there is going to be any video offered later on on the AMSAT web site from the Symposium? What I am most interested in is the following: Saturday, October 9 1500 - 1520 Stephen Turner K3HPA, 100 Watt VHF/UHF Amplifier Looks like I will have to get a copy of the proceedings in the next few months to read up on this also.

Re: AO-7 mode A experieces from KP35
by Bob- W7LRD 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

Hello Mika and AO-7 fans I to have made many attempts at AO-7 mode A. These efforts go back to the days of RS-15. I have noticed that my HF antenna for 10M is a 4 element cubical quad. It is cut for a frequency much lower in the band. As a result the reflector seems to act more like a director at 29.45Mhz. Therefore signals are better off the back of my quad than the front. From Seattle Wa. CN87 I have made several attempts at JA contacts. Only one time I was able to copy a partial call from JA. Local U.S contacts are not a problem. When it comes to stretching the footprint that's where the "fun" begins. Mode A I think requires a bit more uplink power. If we ever get more sunspots propagation on the 10 meter gets interesting. I believe it was RS-13 that had a 15M uplink and a 10M downlink. You could work it at times way byond the horizon. Ahhh the "good" old days! Mika, send me note from time to time if you want to try a mode A attempt. We have done it many times on mode B. Good luck. 73 Bob W7LRD CN87wk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mika Siira" <oh8mbn(a)suomi24.fi> To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org Sent: Friday, October 8, 2010 2:09:44 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-7 mode A experieces from KP35 Hello folks, I have been mostly mode B user on AO- 7 satellite but today I decided to try mode A from my summer QTH.

thanks for AO-51 & FO-29 QSOs today!
by Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

Hi! Thanks for all the QSOs on AO-51 and FO-29 this afternoon/evening, from the parking lot of the Holiday Inn hosting this year's AMSAT Symposium here in the Chicago area (grid EN62aa). With 15 QSOs on the AO-51 pass at 2235 UTC, and 5 more on the FO-29 pass around 2330 UTC, it was a great way to enjoy the nice weather outside the hotel. Thanks to W4DFU for showing up on both of these passes, as part of the College Satellite Night. For both of these passes, I had audiences - something I had not planned on. I'm not operating as an "official station" for the Symposium, but as an opportunity to work from yet another different location. I had an audience of 1 for the AO-51 pass (Mark N8MH wandered out to see what I was doing), then a larger audience when I was on FO-29. I'm sorry I didn't note the names and calls of everyone who was outside for the later pass. Along with John K8YSE, the rest of the crowd were hams from the Chicago area - most of whom John and I followed to a nearby restaurant for dinner after that pass. Photos were taken, so they may surface at some point. :-) I'm looking forward to the official start of the Symposium tomorrow afternoon. I plan on working a few more passes between now and Sunday morning, and then more activity once the Symposium closes before returning home Monday evening. 73!

WD9EWK on AO51 & FO29 from Symposium this afternoon
by Patrick STODDARD 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hello from Chicagoland! I arrived at the AMSAT Symposium an hour or so ago, and will be here through Sunday morning. Until the Symposium wraps up, I will work selected passes. For this afternoon, WD9EWK will be on the following passes: AO51, 2235-2249 UTC FO29, 2327-2344 UTC The Symposium site is in grid EN62aa. Great weather here, and the AMSAT Board meeting that's going on now has been interesting so far. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - Elk Grove Village, Illinois http://www.wd9ewk.net/

Re: SatPC32 Help Needed
by Wayne Estes 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

David Palmer wrote: I seem to have to adjust ± 100 to 200 Hz at the start of the pass, and periodically during the pass, to keep my return pitch constant. Wayne replies: I have to make similar corrections when SatPC32 tunes my FT-847. One likely cause is that the radio's local oscillator drifts slightly when transmitting due to heat generated by the transmitter. My FT-847 transmit frequency drifts noticeably when I transmit on 435 MHz with high power. It drifts less when I transmit at low power. Unless your radios have high-stability oscillators I think it's normal to need to correct the frequencies by 100-200 Hz. From one pass to another, the local oscillator on the satellite might also drift slightly due to changes in temperature. Wayne Estes W9AE Oakland, Oregon, USA, CN83ik

ND9M Road Trip Update #5
by claryco＠aol.com 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Cori and I will be in the Glacier Nat'l Park area for a couple more days. She's under the weather after two weeks of camping in the other parks, so we're done with camping for the time being. Most of our time here is in DN38, but our motel is just across the line in DN28, so I'm putting out both grids depending on where we are when pass time comes. We'll likely start out on the "official" return trip on Saturday. Our plan at that time is to head east along the 47 North latitude across Montana, through North Dakota, and into Minnesota before turning south. FM sats are still the birds of choice, mainly because I've made so few contacts on the various linear sats that I've been on. Setting up and breaking down the portable station takes up to a half hour, and since this is still a vacation trip rather than an actual grid-pedition, I'm inclined to stick to that regimen. That said, if someone needs me to be on one of the linear sats, feel free to contact me off list and I'll do my best to work something out. Depending on where we are at any given time, both e-mail and cell service (850.960.8566) may be intermittent, but let's give it a try anyway. 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC Columbia Falls MT / Flathead Co. / DN28
