AO-51; Next pass over Hawaii
by Robert Smith 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Aloha I plan to try the next pass of AO-51 (precluding lightening and rain). My window will be approx from 0325 local (0135Z) to about 0331L and will include Ca, Nv and a part of Utah. A good pass for Hawaii. Hope to hear anyone. AO-51 will have been out of eclipse for several minutes at that point. Mahalo Respectfully, robert, NH7WN Honolulu

Hawaii

Hey Kevin, A real stretch was working Hawaii from Alberta. I worked Richard WH6FC on AO51, from my mobile, with Richard using a Arrow with his handheld. He also has a nice QSL card. The pass was a minute and a half, and a degree or so of elevation. Gotta love it! Jerry VE6AB Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry

AO-51 coming out of eclipse over Hawaii
by Rich Gillin 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi Robert, KL7AA has a new ground station which is "parking lot mobile". We deploy it occasionally and will mount it on the roof hopefully this summer. Ops N6SPP, N6PG and myself AL4S are available to qso either on the ground station or by arrow or elk handhelds. Looking forward to a KH6-KL7 sat-qso in the future. There is a link on my qrz.com webpage with a short movie on my first qso on the KL7AA ground station (Courtesy N6PG). Cheers, Rich Gillin - AL4S 907.884.1404 skype: rich.gillin Aloha Unless someone has set up a strange repeater there is absolutely no doubt AO51 was alive and well as she came out of eclipse moments ago. I was able to hear myself perfectly on the downlink (145.880 up and 435.150 down). Unfortunately, the footprint from here only touched the west coast. Had an Alaska station been on, I am sure there would have been a QSO. The signal was strong the entire pass. (Could I be missing something?). robert, NH7WN Honolulu, HI

AO-51 coming out of eclipse over Hawaii

Aloha Unless someone has set up a strange repeater there is absolutely no doubt AO51 was alive and well as she came out of eclipse moments ago. I was able to hear myself perfectly on the downlink (145.880 up and 435.150 down). Unfortunately, the footprint from here only touched the west coast. Had an Alaska station been on, I am sure there would have been a QSO. The signal was strong the entire pass. (Could I be missing something?). robert, NH7WN Honolulu, HI

Landwehr 70cm preamp device question?
by Mark L. Hammond 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hello All, I have an old Landwehr preamp that apparently uses the MGF1402 device (does that sound right?). It's not working so I presume it's the GaAsFET. Can the MGF1302 be substituted for the original MGF1402? Or can anybody recommend another device for the 70 cm Landwehr? I need to do something... Thanks in advance! -- Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]
