If you are planning to stay with the AMSAT group while attending the Dayton
Hamfest, now is the time to call the office and reserve your room. I will
need the room nights and a credit card to secure the room. As we did last
year, we are staying at the Country Inns & Suites located at 3971 Colonel
Glenn Hwy, Beavercreek OH.

VO-52 was not heard over the US at 1330z, 28Feb2012.
Reports on oscar.dcarr.org at 1100z also say that it
was not heard over Europe.
Please listen for VO-52 and submit reports to
the oscar.dcarr.org website.

I only took a small set of usable pictures. I really wish I'd brought the
camera. Dick's children took a few hundred photos! Those apples fell
close to the tree.

Bob -
As illness prevented me from attending Dick's memorial, I can't thank
you enough for posting this video.
Dick was great guy, wonderful to work with, both professionally (the
taught the USTTI session on small satellites for us at his house when I
was at VITA) and within AMSAT. He was treasure trove of information and
defined corporate knowlege and memory. His collection of Oscar 10
telemetry on those hard sectored disks was legendary around here, but
not as much as his pool table, upon which many of the early satellites
were put together.
Thanks again,
Eric

Apologies - Correction to the "keps" and spacing - for some reason the cut
and paste did not work, I hope that this now posts in the right format for
the software to read.

Hi Mike,
Noted your request and will monitor but my set up is only an "Elk"antenna I
regret.
For those needing information on the satellite ( and I trust that I am
correct ) listed as Norad 32787.
Latest keps as follows:

Hi all,
We got an single beacon last night. COMPASS-1 did an complete restart and the tresholds for heater and battery voltages should be new set.
Without changing the tresholds the heater will be on if the temperature inside goes under 10 deg.
The batteries are weak and this leads to an crash.

A video update on the Euroluna project. The 2U CubeSat Romit1 is planned to deploy in a 310 km orbit and will then raise that orbit to 700 km, see

Hi,
I am looking for a hard copy, gently used, of the Proceedings. If you have
one gathering dust which you would be willing to part with, drop me a note
off list.
