New AO-7 Distance Record?
by John Papay 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

From the OPDX Bulletin 1230 September 7, 2015: BIRD DISTANCE RECORD! [Possible New Distance Record on the AO-7 Satellite]. Dave, KG5CCI, operating portable on a mountain in Grid EM24UQ worked EA5TT in Grid IM99SL on September 5th at approximately 1812 UTC on the AO-7 satellite in Mode B (U/V). The distance according to Tiny Locator was 7931km. The high elevation in EM24 made it possible to exceed the theoret- ical 7900km maximum range for AO-7. AO-7 was launched in 1974 and went silent in 1981. It came back to life in 2002 and now operates when in sunlight from its circular 1450km orbit. Congratulations to Dave and Manuel! You can read the OPDX Bulletin edited by Tedd KB8NW on http://www.papays.com/opdx.html New issues come out every Sunday evening. 73, John K8YSE

I somehow have lost the countdown window on my SatPC32. When I click on the selection the window doesn't open anymore. I found a couple of mentions of it on the web, but no answers to either questions. Any thoughts? KC4ZVA Michael Vivona EL98

Stations needed on the Colorado Amateur Satellite net
by Skyler F 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

I run the Colorado Amateur Satellite net here in Denver. I am OK at satellites but by no means an expert. I am wondering if anybody wants to join the net and either talk about their station, or just help beginners if they have any questions. The net airs every Thursday Evening at 6PM West Coast time 7PM Mountain time, 8PM Central time, 9PM East coast time in the US. The net is on AllStar link , EchoLink, and Soon to be on IRLP again. AllStar link number 40764 EchoLink Node KD0WHB-L or the *AMSAT* conference server IRLP Hopefully get permission for the Denver Reflector SOON Thanks, Skyler KDØWHB -- Skyler Fennell amsatnet.info KDØWHB electricity440(a)gmail.com

Amsat Journal
by Mike Hoblinski 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

I was wondering if electronic delivery of the Amsat Journal has been discussed. I always wished I could have it on my tablet when I am out and about. I have always enjoyed having access to QST and CQ current and past issues. Maybe members could have access to past issues. Mike N6IMF
