Having interference issues on UHF? Check out the following:
DCI UHF 10 MHz Wide 4 Pole Bandpass Filter (Model: DCI-435-10C)
UHF 10 MHz Wide 4 Pole Bandpass Filter (430 - 440 MHz)
Ideal for US Satellite and weak signal
The design for this bandpass filter is four full quarter-wave linear
resonators with aperture coupling. It comes with silver-Teflon - gold "N"
connectors.
The filters are the same height and width as the VHF models but are slightly
heavier and deeper.
The DCI-435-10C is used in European-Asian ITU Regions 1 and 3, and is also
used in North America for weak signal, packet and other specialized
communications.
Connector Type: "N" silver-Teflon - gold

I am still in New England and have access to a 9th floor patio overlooking Boston Harbor FN42 and want to try a 1 degree for me AO91 pass at 0400Z on early morning Saturday 26 May. No clue what the RF noise would be up here but it maybe my last shot before going back to Texas.

----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Yesie Brama <yesie.l.brama(a)micro-space.org>To: Microspace <athenoxat(a)micro-space.org>Sent: Friday, May 25, 2018, 6:51:32 AM GMT-3Subject: Athenoxat-1 beacon puzzles round 4
Dear friends,
It's been a while and hope this email finds you well. We'd like to inform that we've just enabled the new round of Athenoxat-1 beacon puzzles.
Beacon puzzles is the regular data beacon from Athenoxat-1 with specific type 3.
It contains 10 frames per burst every minute (30sec interval alternating with Morse CW).
It has a slight difference from the previous rounds and therefore we consider this experience as part of the in-orbit test. Hopefully it'll go smoothly.
The kss files containing the frames can be submitted through the usual address athenoxat(a)micro-space.org
Any number of frames are very useful for reconstructing the images. Thus we're hoping that stations with low elevation passes will still be able to participate.
Our website will be updated daily and can be viewed here: http://www.micro-space.org/ham.html
For the stations around our control station (in Singapore), please keep tuning in as the satellite stays beaconing although it may seem appear busy in comm.operation.
The only apparent change is that you may not hear the Morse CW once our comm.operation starts.
Please let us know if you need any clarifications or help in setting up some software for receiving Athenoxat-1 packets.
Please feel free to inform others who may be interested and able to listen to Athenoxat-1.
We are looking forward to your kss files then.
Thank you in advance for listening, and have a good weekend.

Hi All,
Just to confirm that AO73/FUNcube-1 is now in continuous amateur
transponder mode for the weekend.
As we have another long weekend, you can expect the autonomous mode,
with high power telemetry only in sunlight, to recommence either late
Monday or first thing Tuesday (UTC)

If you tried to message me by APRS on FS-3 over the past month or so and received no response, it's because I managed to screw up when programming my TH-D72A memory channels for Falconsat-3. The first channel (AOS and rising) was fine, but the rest were totally messed up. As a result, I couldn't decode any packets for the last two-thirds of each pass. I have the channels configured properly now, so please try again next time!

Anybody else having trouble getting a file to upload to Logbook of the
World today? I'm trying to load in some SO-50 QSOs from yesterday and
it's not processing them. I use TQSL and don't usually have a problem.
If I contacted you on SO-50 yesterday and you're waiting for me to
confirm on LOTW, hang in there. I'm trying.

Get out your highlighter and circle June 15th, 16th and 17th on your calendars! You don't want to miss The VE3HLS Grand Finale Rove! This will be my final significant rove before I retire from satellite ops and get down to planning the next chapter of my life as I prepare to retire in Thailand.
I will follow the St. Lawrence Seaway down from Lake Ontario to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, activating FN14, FN15, FN24/25, FN35/36, FN46/47, FN57/58 and FN59/69 along the way down and back.
As always, the inspiration for the rove is a result of a few of you posting your grids QSLed maps to Twitter. I read them and base future roves on the gaps I see in your maps.
I'll work out a basic schedule over the next week or two and post it here and on Twitter.
73,
KenVE3HLS
