CN73 last FO-29 pass
by Lee Ernstrom 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

My 13:03 -13:19 FO-29 pass was much more enjoyably this morning. The wind had died down and the rain had stopped. There was an ocean mist but that didn't bother me any. I had the Suburban pointed into the direction of the mist and I operated from the back of the vehicle with the hatch open. I made all of my scheduled QSOs except Hector, CO6CBF. I didn't hear him at all. Here is the list of stations I worked this morning on FO-29: WB2SIH, N5JF, N5UXT, KB1RVT, KO4MA, AA5PK and WI9I. Thanks to everyone for all the fun from here in CN73sc. When I return home I will upload all the QSOs to LOTW and I will send everyone I worked a special collectors edition QSL card commemorating this blessed event. 73, Lee (Doc) Ernstrom (now QRT from CN73) WA7HQD Sent from my iPad

Re: [amsat-bb] KX3 For Sat Use
by Richard Lawn 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Thanks for the few replies. I did find a FunCube Pro+ for sale used which was fortuitous. I'll have fun first getting that running with some of the suggested software. As for KX3 control by SatPC32, I had started to work on that with the Erich and I got side tracked. I was almost convinced that it was going to work under the Kenwood emulation. I need to get back to that, however I don't yet have the 2 m module installed in my KX3. I hate to spend the $ on it before knowing if it can be computer controlled for satellite use. Maybe I'll let my friend try first ...hi hi! If I learn anything I'll report back here. 73 Rick W2JAZ

Re: [amsat-bb] KX3 For Sats

Yes, I have used the KX3 on satellite, both on FO29 and AO7. However, I have not use computer control of the KX3. In theory it should be possible but there will need some code written and / or a interface designed to do so. >Just curious if anyone has tried to use the KX3 yet with the new 2 meter >add on for satellites. I was thinking of the possibility of using it along >with some sort of SDR dongle for downlink, but not sure if SatPC32 would >support either KX3 or dongle. > >73 >Rick >W2JAZ -- Mike Herr WA6ARA DM-15dp Home of The QRP Ranch No trees were killed in the sending of this message, however, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

FO-29 00:13-00:26 pass from CN73
by Lee Ernstrom 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

I set up the FT-897D in the back of the Suburban this evening with the hatch open to shield me from the wind and rain. The only problem I had was trying to keep the wind from blowing over the tripod-mounted Arrow antenna. so with one hand on the tripod and the other on the microphone I was successful in working WA4HFN, W7LRV, KC7MG, WC7V, KE4KOL, KB0VXN, AJ9K and W0DHB from here in Bandon by the Sea, Oregon. I will try SO-50 with my hand held this evening, and I may give the morning pass of FO-29 another try, then we are heading out of here and making our way back home to Utah.
