Thanks for all the on and off list responses. I have contacted ICM to get the right part. "Less than a buck" crystals are out there but not for 8.8125 MHz crystal for a LO of 2256 MHz, I guess I should have known that, my bad. Regards, 73 Gary AB3ID Snow Hill, MD

Re: HO-68

Of course there are other websites where to report :-) Anyway, I found HO68 in the first part of the 19:00utc pass rather weak. Then it turned strong like always. Lot's of packet radio traffic. FM repeater worked fine. LA, EA, IK, PA, 9A stations. Mind the polarization ! For me: I need to change throughout the pass many times. (Left vs Right HCP). Wrong polarization: noise. Hope this helps !

Dot Lowe of Arrow Antennas
by claryco＠aol.com 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

My XYL, Cori, and I are in Cheyenne WY for a few days. We were here earlier this year and were treated to a terrific tour of the Arrow Antennas shop by the owners, Al and Dot Lowe, who do everything involved with running the business from designing the equipment, machining the components, and kicking everything out the door. During our present visit, we thought we'd stop off at the Arrow Antennas shop to say hi. Unfortunately, Dot suffered a major heart attack recently, and the shop's operations are understandably shut down for the time being while she recuperates. We wish Dot all the best in her recovery as well as to Al who is giving her the best care possible. 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC Cheyenne WY / DN71

145.825, PL 67 Hz on the uplink, 435.675 down. It works just like SO-50, only with an occasional packet burst thrown in, and it's on a schedule instead having to turn it on. Is there a specific question you have? 73, Drew KO4MA -----Original Message----- >From: Bob Schmidt <bschmidt(a)ecdentalspecialists.com> >Sent: Sep 14, 2010 11:45 AM >To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org >Subject: [amsat-bb] HO-68 > >Has anyone in NA worked HO-68 in FM mode?
