Congratulations Zach! Thanks for being out there as well when you have gone on your trips. I wholeheartedly agree that thanks are due to all those who have made it possible for us to work so many grids in addition to their own home grids. For example, I just recently got an envelope from John Papay, K8YSE, confirming about 17 new grids outside of his home grid and my first linear satellite contact, AO-7. He and his son Doug were able to pull out my signal and bear with me being so new to the linear satellites. Hope to catch you again on the birds Zach!

AO-51 with TNC3S
by Vincenzo Mone 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hello folks, I need an help if possible. I own a TNC3S that I bought when there was the birds at 38k4. As there wasn't any more birds working on that velocity, I have stored the tnc. Now I see that the AO-51 has the possibility to be worked on that velocity, I mean I should hear it on 435 MHZ at 38k4 baud and TX on 1.2 GHZ at 9k6 baud. Unfortunately I forgot how to set the Dip switches to interface it with the GSC program. Anybody can address me how to do it? Thanks in advance 73 de Enzo IK8OZV EasyLog 5 BetaTester EasyLog PDA BetaTester WinBollet BetaTester D.C.I.

V/U Satellite Operation Issue/Question
by Zachary Beougher 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

All, A Ham from Ireland asked me about some issues he was having with his base rig when working the V/U birds. Since I have have had limited experience using base rigs to work the birds, and I have had no experience with the SSB birds, I thought I would pose his question to some of the more experienced ops here. Here’s the issue he is having: 1.. His setup: TS-790a (full duplex rig) and Tonna F9FT 9/19 Yagi (This was the description of his equipment he gave me). 2.. Whenever he goes to transmit on the 2m uplink, the 440 receive frequency “drops out” and all he can hear is QRN. Once he lets off the PTT, receiving goes back to normal. He mentioned he did make a contact on a FM V/U bird, and received a 59 report. 3.. He has worked the U/V satellites, and everything works fine (he can hear himself on the downlink). 4.. He has double-checked all connections. If you have any idea pertaining to this issue, you can email me here or off list and I will pass it along to him. Thanks, Zack KD8KSN
