AO-51 L/U mode
by w4upd 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Well, tried to work AO-51 tonight during my 2232utc pass, but was unsuccessful. I did hear WO3T (FN00) during the pass and was the only one I heard. Sounds like this mode (once you over come the transmit problems) will be a great quiet mode to work. I didn't really think I'd get into the bird with 10 watts and a discone antenna but thought I'd try. Looks like its time to get a good 1.2ghz antenna and get it installed when I get my arrays put back up. Anyways, thought I'd let Carmen know he wasn't whistling in the wind and that some one did hear him. Sounds good. Really need to get the uplink antenna going here. Reid, W4UPD

FO-29 Status
by Yutaka Murata 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

JARL announced the status of FO-29 on Jan 29th at JARL WEB in Japanese. This is English translation. ------------------------------------------- The present conditions (January 29, 2010) of FUJI3 (FO-29) FUJI3(FO-29) has been stopped the continuous operation and moved to planed schedule operation because it can not have enough battery charge current from beginning of November. The command of JTA (an analog transponder) ON has been sent for a confirmation examination from the control station at 11:33 on January 27th(UTC). JH1EKH/1, JR8LWY, VK5HI have reported to us that "FO-29 still works" . There is a possibility that FO-29 has been working consecutively after we sent transponder ON command on January 27. It is thought that the electricity income and expenditure is improved by the decrease of the shade rate, and the transponder is working continuously. If someone has information of telemetry or other working status related from January 27th 11:30(UTC) to 28th 19:20(UTC), Please send it to JARL technical section. In addition, when FO-29 battery power is lower than setting value, a transmitter becomes OFF automatically by UVC. If you find the transponder is getting off, please send the information of transponder off time and date to JARL technical section. Please use FO-29 without restriction but use proper uplink power. ------------------------------------------------ Thanks JARL command team. Yutaka Murata JA1COU

FS - 23cm M2 antenna
by David - KG4ZLB 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

I have an M2 23CM22EZ antenna for sale, 16dbd gain, 28dB front to back. It will take 600 watts (!), and survive 100mph winds, overall length is 63 inches which is about 5 and bit feet in old money. And that was where the problem was; 5 and a bit feet was just too long for my available space so I ended up buying one of Bob's (W7LRD) most excellent helicals. So its never been in the air, just gathering dust in my garage. Looking at HRO, it seems that maybe M2 have superseded this model with the 23CM22EZA which retails for a whopping $185! Any interest on here before I fleaBay it at the weekend! Let me know off board; I have photographs that I can send you! 73 -- David KG4ZLB www.kg4zlb.com
