At this time, I do not know who the bidder was. 73...bruce Original message: "On behalf of AMSAT and as the eBay/Mission Fish manager for AMSAT, I would like to thank Clint, K6LCS for his winning bid and Bob, WL7RD for his 100% donation of the proceeds from this auction to AMSAT." -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards ARRL Awards Manager (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0100z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 at http://www.amsatnet.com Podcast at http://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org AMSAT on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/amsat

Stamps Auction Winner - NOT K6LCS!
by Clint Bradford 19 May '10

19 May '10

It wasn't ME won won the auction! >> ... Congrats to the winner of the eBay AMSAT stamps auction ... you can proudly boast that you are responsible for $192.50 x 2 = US$ 385 being donated to AMSAT! Now, then, I *am* a President's Club member. And AMSAT *is* in my will. And I send Martha a few bucks now and then for the cause. And I did win the prototype AO-40 mounting bracket a few years ago ... Clint, K6LCS

Hi Dee, Looks a great unit, the preliminary spec is at http://www.icomuk.co.uk/getFile.asp?categoryID=3508&cCID=16907&fFID=244 I noted the 1240 MHz band coverage goes out to 1320 MHz, be useful in the UK as our 23cm band goes out to 1325. The incorporation of a USB port is good, wish all rigs had one. The only disappointment is the absence of the 70 MHz band which we now have in much of Region 1. I look forward to the QST review which will should a good indication how it performs in practice. Agree the price is steep, clearly aimed at the very top of the Amateur market, it makes the IC-910 look cheap, but there are lots of other options for equipment for low cost satellite working. 73 Trevor M5AKA Daily Amateur Radio Email/RSS News: http://www.southgatearc.org/ Email Your News To: editor at southgatearc.org Or Upload Using Form At: http://www.southgatearc.org/news/your_news_1.htm ---- --- On Tue, 18/5/10, Dee <morsesat(a)optonline.net> wrote: > Date: Tuesday, 18 May, 2010, 20:30 > Satellite enthusiasts, > To give everyone the actual Pre-release specs, I have > attached the copy > (specs only) of the Icom pamphlet I was offered at Dayton > about the IC9100. > I think that if Yaesu comes in with a $2000 version, they > will corner the > market- I own 2 (yes, two) IC910's and love them but > the price of this > IC9100 is out there with the satellites somewhere. > The estimated cost of > $4000 is out of reach for the average satellite > enthusiast.
