AO-7 - strong signals!
by Paul Stoetzer 05 May '14

05 May '14

Five days into it's eclipse season, AO-7 is operating very well. Strong Mode B signals on the last pass over eastern North America. I worked PV8DX, N8RO, KV1J (his first AO-7 QSO), and KB1RVT. My 25 watts ERP was plenty until the satellite started going behind the trees to the north. Hope to hear everyone on the next pass in just under an hour. All of North America will be comfortably in the footprint. 73, Paul, N8HM

G-5500 pot
by Bob- W7LRD 05 May '14

05 May '14

hello-after spending over a half hour on hold waiting for a Yaesu tech to order a position potentiometer for my elevation rotor. They told me they will not sell that part to the consumer. They said I can send the whole rotor to them for repair. I explained my experience to no avail. Can anyone assist me in getting this simple part? 73 Bob W7LRD .

Fwd: Make Reservation for AMSAT/TAPR Banquet at Dayton Hamvention by May 13th
by Mark Thompson 05 May '14

-----Forwarded Message----- From: Alan <wa4sca(a)gmail.com> Sent: May 3, 2014 5:24 AM To: AMSAT-FOX <amsat-fox(a)alum.wpi.edu> Subject: [amsat-fox] AMSAT/TAPR Banquet Hi, A brief reminder that if you are going to Dayton and plan to attend the annual AMSAT/TAPR Banquet, you will need to make your reservations by May 13th. Tom Clark, K3IO who has made major contributions to both organizations will be the speaker. We are in a smaller room this year, so while we should have plenty of space, first come, first served. You can make your reservation at: http://store.amsat.org/catalog/index.php?cPath=38&osCsid=uh5e8khqdcancr5jge… Because the Kohler Center needs the count by the 13th, no tickets will be sold at the door or Hamvention. You can pick up your tickets at the AMSAT Booth. Alan
