reinstalling antennas
by John Becker 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

I will be reinstalling everything. cross VHF and UHF as well as the dish. (basic AO-40 setup) I did have at the other QTH everything on a 10 foot by 1 1/2 steel pipe at about 23 feet. my question is can I go with less then a 10 foot? Just how close can I put one to the other. I sure did love that bird. As well as sure do miss it. John, W0JAB EM49lk Louisiana, Missouri Tnx

Utah DN41 Grid Contacts QSL Info
by John Kopala 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

This morning, 13 August 2010, on the 1254 UTC pass of AO-51 over the western US, I made several contacts before I realized that I had not turned on my voice recorder. If you contacted me at the beginning of the pass and this is a new contact or a new grid and you would like a QSL card, please send me an email directly and I will update my log and send out the card. Thanks, John Kopala N7JK

Mike, Yaesu G5500 with Gulf Alpha 8×8 UHF and 5×5 VHF work well for me. I know a bunch of people that will bash Gulf Alpha for super long wait times for delivery, but Pete builds great antennas. http://gulfalphaantennas.com/ Dave - KB1PVH Sent from my Verizon Wireless DROID On Aug 13, 2010 12:10 PM, "Michael" <mikef1234(a)buckeye-express.com> wrote: I'm trying to set up a base station for Satellite communications and was wondering what type of antennas and rotor I should get?

Does any one have the current QSL route for Yosi? His listing shows Tokyo and his present address is Honduras.

by JoAnne Maenpaa 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hello everyone, This 'breaking news' will be too late if we wait for this weekend's ANS news cycle so here's a heads up now ... >From the ARLD032 DX news: UNITED STATES, WC5C. Members of the Tri-County Amateur Radio Club (WC5C) will once again activate Pelican Island (TX050L) on August 14, starting at 1400z. Pelican Island is an uninhabited island on Eagle Mountain Lake in North Central Texas. The club members make an adventure of it, getting to the Island by kayak, canoe and various other water craft. Activity will be typically 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. Modes are usually CW and SSB, sometimes satellite FM and PSK31. QSL info is available on QRZ.com. -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM k9jkm(a)amsat.org Editor, AMSAT News Service Copy Editor, AMSAT Journal

I have worked him before, think his name is "YOSY" and he does QSL. And I think the grid is EK64. EK-34 is not in Honduras. 73, John K6YK On Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:19:05 -0700 Larry Teran <ki6yaa(a)gmail.com> writes: > John I was able to work him on 8/2/10 1716 UTC on HO-68 FM Mode, he > is in > EK34 Tegucigalpa Honduras but I think he is fro Japan.
