looking for anyone who may have a audio recording of the ISS making contact with N0ZHE, this would have been a number of years ago. 3-5yrs? Thanks Greg.

RS-15 beacon signal
by Mike Rupprecht 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

All, this morning I made some very interesting measurements of the beacon signal from RS-15. Does anyone know the relationship between the length of the carrier and (presumably) the temperature? The length varies between 1.5 seconds and sometimes over 20 seconds. You can see some interesting graphs here: http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=13008 Thanks and 73, Mike DK3WN

AO-51 Back up!
by John Papay 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

Congratulations to the Control Team N8MH KO4MA and WA6FWF for their efforts to revive AO-51. This weekend was to be very active since some were planning grid expeditions. Not having AO-51 available would have impacted those efforts. This morning on the 1311z pass, Kerry WC7V was operating portable from DN46 and DN56 and Chris KC0YBM was in EN24. All of these are rare grids. It was great to hear them operating for our benefit. Thank you Kerry and Chris! The radio that Chris uses for satellites requires 120VAC power so he purchased a 400w inverter that would allow him to take his radio on the road! He may operate in EN25 next! If you haven't tried operating portable away from home, please consider doing so. It is a lot of fun and others will appreciate the effort you make to do it. 73, John K8YSE

AO-51 reload
by Andrew Glasbrenner 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

Sometime between 1830Z and 2000Z today, AO-51 suffered a software crash. Thanks to K8YSE for the early heads up. Mark, N8MH and myself restarted and started reloading the software required to run the repeater. Until this is finished, I ask that everyone refrain from transmitting to the satellite. Now is a good time to tweak your 9600 baud receive setups, as the digital transmitter is on at about 2 watts. 73, Drew KO4MA AMSAT-NA VP Operations

Working Maritime Mobile via AO-51
by oldethai＠montevideo.com.uy 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

On March 21 at around 1600 UTC AO-51 will pass directly over Honolulu, HI. I may get up early and try to work some stations from on board my ship if there is anyone out there who might be interested. Actually, we would not be strictly maritime mobile as we'd be tied up at the pier at that time so it would be marine mobile. If anyone is interested, send me an email asap at: wa0yfb(a)amast.org 73's Herb ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mantenete informado desde tu celular.

FS: Yaesu FT817ND transceiver
by John Geiger 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

I have for sale a Yaesu FT817ND HF/6/2/70cm QRP transceiver in very good condition. It does 5 watts on each band and can run off of internal batteries-1 internal battery pack is included. It comes with the hand mic, NC-72B wall charger, carrying strap, antenna, manual, and box. This makes a great satellite transceiver for portable operations, or can also be used in the base. Iam asking $425 plus shipping for it, and can take paypal/check/MO. 73s John AA5JG
