Rotor Interfaces for Sale Cheap
by Richard Lawn 26 May '12

26 May '12

I'm cleaning out in hopes of one day moving, though it may be a lost cause! I have a SASI SatTrack Rotor Interface. Manual, parallel interface cable to computer and software on disc. I also have 2 FOD Track, parallel port interfaces. I think they both work. Anyway, anybody wants them let me know and I'll no doubt make you an offer you can't refuse! Rick W2JAZ

My first portable sat qso made today.
by Eric Knaps, ON4HF 25 May '12

Hello all, Today I made my first portable satellite qso in my backyard via SO-50. I bought an arrow antenna from www.vpa-systems.pl and connected a portable to it. I didn't know it was that easy! I worked EA7HZZ and a German station (forgot his call because I was to excited) What a nice hobby we have! 73, Eric. -- Amateur Radio Station ON4HF Eric Knaps Satellite manager UBA http://www.on4hf.be

Any ideas on a good antenna combo for mounting on a large vehicle? Possibly roofrack, specifically for satellite work? Thanks! Lee W5LMM
