Hi to the list, due to change the antenna cables, I would like to know which is the better one at least price For the Satellites activates. Unfortunately I have to use a long descent. I want also install my old 23 elements antenna for the 1,2 GHz. So the cable should be all for the satellites activates and should be for 2 meters 70 centimetres 23 centimetres I would like also to get a Mast preamplifier for the 23 centimetres. I already have the Mast preamplifier for the 2 meters and the 70 centimetres. They are both from Dressler and both has the EVV Interface. Please let me know which one is the better one at least price and if it needs also of the interface. Please let me know prices and where to get them Any suggestion will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. 73 de Enzo IK8OZV EasyLog 5 BetaTester EasyLog PDA BetaTester WinBollet BetaTester D.C.I.

Mirage Preamp Setting
by Richard Lawn 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

I'm about to mast mount a new Mirage 70cm preamp. It has a high/low setting. Any suggestions from the group as I'm sure many of you are using this preamp. Is the high setting too much gain? I got tired of forgetting I had the ARR preamp on an frying it by sending too much RF into it. 73 Rick W2JAZ Richard Lawn, Dean College of Performing Arts University of the Arts 215-717-6125

Noise level problem
by Luc Leblanc VE2DWE 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

We are always struggling with the noise level. On HF VHF UHF and on microwaves it is our worse enemy. We are playing with preamps, fliters, low loss feed lines but it seems we forget one source of noise 'The voices from the deads..' or the voices of the other side. If you live near a cemetery could be your noise figure can be higher than normal! Did any one ever check this possible noise source? For those who wants to push their own investigations just go on: http://www.aaevp.com/index.htm In the recent interference thread, nobody mentioned this world-wide noise source, An interresting new way to have fresh news about our future HEO launch... :) Or at least it can help some with a good QSO to get a second advice warning on our moves? Could be AO-7 has been awakened from the deads by theses voices? If you enter in a discussion just ask your other party if he/she can do something about AO-40? He probably switch on their frequencies that's why we loose it on our side. In our present situation could be asking the deads can produce more results! if not nobody will notice... Business as usual... "-" The medium is the message...The content is the audience...;) Luc Leblanc VE2DWE Skype VE2DWE www.qsl.net/ve2dwe

SatPC32 G5500 Flip or 450 deg Turnpoint analysis
by Simon 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hello, Has anyone any thoughts on what is the best way to go with SATPC32's options that allows you to select either an elevation of 0-180 degrees thus enabling Flip Mode, OR selecting the extended Azimuth option of 0 - 450 degrees. The latter disables Flip mode though. I am unsure which choice will give the most benefit for both Leo's and EME tracking? Thanks Simon, VK3ZSJ
