The Easy SATs?
by Peter Moscatt 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Good morning to all, I have recently entered the relms of Saterlite communications and need a breif list of Sats to initially target that are pretty easy to get into that will allow me to cut my teeth on. I have a FT847 and use 2M 70CM antennas (vertical), so I am pretty right to go as far as hardware is concerned. I am using Orbatron as the selected tracking software. Cheers Pete VK4CCV vk4ccv(a)wia.org.au

FREE QSL CARD Program
by wa4hfn＠comcast.net 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

For those who do not have QSL Cards,or will not send a QSL card for the contact. Here is a link to a program that will print you a QSL card FREE,. if you do not have any . Collecting grids is fun and getting that contact confirmed means alot to MANY of us. The FM birds can get very crowded with ops trying to make a contact with someone in a grid that would be a new contact for them http://www.radioqth.net/qsl.aspx PLEASE send out cards to those who send you a S.A.S.E. They need the card Thanks WA4HFN

Fastrac
by Vincenzo Mone 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Hi Folks, right now i had a pass of FASTRAC but unfortunately no beacon and no signals on the 2 meter band. On the 70 cm band I could hear something but do not know if it is the bird because the noise is like a mix of 1k2 AX25 and 9k6 baud. Please anybody can tell me if is that I had to hear? Also please where can I find the fresh keps for this bird? Thanks 73 de Enzo IK8OZV EasyLog 5 BetaTester EasyLog PDA BetaTester WinBollet BetaTester D.C.I.
