And why wouldn't it be accurate, especially if it is the same part? They're both 450 degree systems. 73 Jeff kb2m -----Original Message----- From: R Oler [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 07, 2011 22:41 PM To: glasbrenner(a)mindspring.com; kb2m(a)comcast.net Cc: Amsat BB Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] Re: 5500 rotor problem LOL I bet that was accurate...Robert WB5MZO > From: glasbrenner(a)mindspring.com > Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2011 21:53:44 -0400 > To: kb2m(a)comcast.net > CC: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org > Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: 5500 rotor problem > > My 5500 has had a 450 motor in it for about 8 years :) > > It was cheaper to buy a used rotor than the motor from yaesu parts. > > 73, Drew KO4MA

Hi mike I don't remember the precise time, but it was 10 minutes before i wrote my email. I was deliberately following do-17 with the last tle downloaded for Orbitron. I simulates that time on orbitron and verify if another sat was in range. At the same time IO-26 was over my head, but his beacon is in 435 mhz!! 73 de in3aqk On Sat, Oct 8, 2011 at 3:54 PM, Mike Rupprecht <mail(a)mike-rupprecht.de>wrote: > Hi Paolo, > > DOVE-17 is certainly dead.

Hello, is it possible that Dove oscar 17 DO-17 is still alive? Today I've tried to monitor it at 145.825 and I've received 2 packets from the telemetry. Unfortunately I had not the packet decoder switched on and I'm not sure. DO-17 was the first satellite that I've received in 1991!! 73 de in3aqk -- Paolo Mattiolo Software developer http://www.mattiolopaolo.com cell:347 9454207 skype:paolomattiolo msn:[email protected] twitter:IN3AQK ham call sign: IN3AQK IQRP N° 715

ANSR Flight 64

All, the Arizona Near Space research group will be launching a high altitude balloon with a ham radio payload on Saturday at 0900 mst (1600ut) from Maricopa, AZ, about 30 miles south of Phoenix. the balloon will be carrying a cross band repeater and APRS digi and an SSTV system. Expected burst altitude is about 90,000+ feet. this should give a foot print of about 450ish miles at max altitude. If it stays in the central AZ area, this would reach out into SoCal, Western New Mexico, southern Utah & Nevada and northern Sonora I'll be trying to work the Cross band repeater and if time allows the APRS digi. Detail including frequencies and such are at www.ansr.org. Kevin KF7MYK, if it get high enough, you should be well in range. This sounds like something you';d be interested in. Listen for my call. 73 Rick K7TEJ
