Re: LoTW Support of HO-68
by Bill Dzurilla 11 Apr '10

Reid, I emailed the ARRL and was told not to expect HO-68 support anytime soon, as they are "too busy working on the new web page" to update the software. 73, Bill NZ5N > From: Reid Crowe <reid.crowe(a)gmail.com> > Subject: [amsat-bb] LoTW Support of HO-68 > To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org > Message-ID: <4BC225B3.8090304(a)gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; > format=flowed > > Any news on if LoTW will support HO-68?

Little help. Where in SAT32 do I look for SuM for moon tracking. Also looking for suggestions as to the best way to record SAT contact from head set out put using sat 32 and a 910 radio. Thanks Jack WA1ZDV

Reid Crowe, N0RC, has been very active from grid square FQ-56 in Greenland. He is operating on the FM satellites and he has set up a Google Groups at http://groups.google.com/group/ox-thule-2010/topics where he posts his anticipated operating schedule. This information has been on the Amsat-BB previously and it also appears on the "Launch Pad" of the AMSAT website. I only list again here as a reminder because Reid is an excellent satellite operator who wishes to work as many stations as possible while he is in Thule, Greenland. Enjoy, Guy N3SCR

AO-51 mode change
by Andrew Glasbrenner 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

AO-51 is now running two repeaters. 145.88/435.15 is for contacts by and with the Boy Scouts celebrating their 100th anniversary this week, and when not in use by the Boy Scouts, QRP stations are welcome. We define QRP as 10 watts or less, AND omni or handheld antennas only. 145.92/435.3 is still open for general traffic, and for now the PL access testing continues. Power output is 450mw on 435.150, and 470mw on 435.300. 73, Drew KO4MA AMSAT-NA VP Operations

On your computer click start, programs, SatPC32, and it should expand with a list of programs. SuM should be in the list. I am running Vista, but XP should be similar.

I followed the directions on the previous email and cannot find the program SuM in the SAT32 folder or in the program list when SAT32 is running. (Do I need to look on the original CD installation disk as well?) Alternatively, I think I will load the keps for the Moon into SAT32; I know there was a thread on this subject a few months ago. Thanks for a great BB!

Hello Luc Leblanc, Yes, the signals received by Roland, PY4ZBZ demonstrate in practice the article by Domenico, I8CVS. As for the PLL tone in AO-51 you're right. It's just to save the use of AO-51 when we're not using it. Thanks for reply Piraja, PS8RF The Amateur Radio is supportive and helpful in any circumstance. _________________________________________________________________ Mude seu visual no Messenger e divirta-se com seus amigos online.

Re: Arecibo on 432 MHz Moon Bounce (some calculations)
by G0MRF＠aol.com 11 Apr '10

A quick look at the access from Europe shows that the moon is in a similar location to the sun next weekend. So higher gain antennas on 70cm will help reduce sun noise too. Good luck Dom, thanks for the analysis. 73 David G0MRF The above calculation shows that it is very difficult to hear KP4AO or be heard using a small hand-held yagi pointed at the moon. Have fun 73" de i8CVS Domenico
