Rick, I use Directive Systems wide lobe yagis (5 el 2m, 11 el 70cm, vert pol) with no preamps and have no difficulty working Greencube. 73, Craig N6RSX From: Nitin Muttin via AMSAT-BB <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 3, 2024 10:13 AM To: Amsat BB <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org>; Richard Lawn <rjlawn(a)gmail.com> Subject: [AMSAT-BB] Re: M2 LEO Pack for Greencube Hi Rick, Yes , these should work with masthead preamps especially for low elevation where you get good DX.

Re: BeliefSat-0 (Re: Ham sat launched last night?)

Yes, the payload is permanently attached to the POEM (Last stage). Since it is in equatorial orbit we in south India can access the payload. Example the max elevation for MK83SD in Bangalore is ~36 degree. K J Somaiya college of engineering built the payload and was launched by ISRO. @PE0SAT, I will share a recording of the APRS beacon heard at my station. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG] On Wednesday, 3 January, 2024 at 02:57:40 am IST, Frank via AMSAT-BB <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> wrote: Will it remain attached to its launch container (POEM-3 ?

Volunteers needed to help at the AMSAT booth at 2024 Hamcation in Orlando, FL
by David Jordan 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

The new year is now upon us and that means the 2024 Hamcation in Orlando, Florida (Feb. 9 - 11) is just around the corner.The hamfest began in 1946 and in 2024 celebrates its 78th year having achieved the designation as being the 2nd largest gathering of ham operators in the world annually. Along with a myriad of popular amateur radio vendors and enormous tailgate area to peruse through, AMSAT will also be on hand and we could sure use your help. If last year's 21,800 attendees are any indication of what's ahead, we would greatly appreciate you sharing at least 2 to 4 hours of your time at the AMSAT booth sometime during the three-day event, introducing fellow hams to what amateur satellites are all about, helping those who maybe having problems getting on the air and best of all, connecting face to face with hams you've talked to on the satellites. So if you would like to join us at the AMSAT booth or have any questions about helping out, please contact David Jordan, AA4KN at aa4kn(a)amsat.org. BTW, the average temp. for Orlando in February is a high 75 deg. and low 54 deg.... hard to beat that!!

It is described as a "hosted payload" in the IARU frequency coordination documentation, so I am interpreting that to mean it is integrated permanently with POEM. https://iaru.amsat-uk.org/finished_detail.php?serialnum=942 de KM1P Joe
