Re: Second transponder on AO-51 at field day
by Bruce 04 May '07

04 May '07

I don't know where you got the idea you could not make a contact on each transponder of AO-51. If you look at the rules below, which appear in the Official AMSAT Field Day Rules, it specifically states "EACH SATELLITE TRANSPONDER is considered to be a separate band." That means if both transponders are turned on for AO-51, then you can have "ONE" contact on each "single-channel FM satellite". There are two-channels, thus one contact on each for a total of two. 73...bruce AMSAT Director of Contests and Awards from official rules snip... - Each phone, CW, and digital segment ON EACH SATELLITE TRANSPONDER is considered to be a separate band. - CW and digital (RTTY, PSK-31, etc.) contacts count THREE points each. - Only one contact is allowed via each single-channel FM satellite, AO-27 (1 phone), SO-41 (1 phone), SO-50 (1 phone), AO-51 (1 phone regardless of mode; PBBS-see Pacsats below), ISS (1 phone and 1 digital), PCSat (I, II, etc.) (1 digital), etc. snip...

Looking to Trade
by Steve Raas 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hello every one, I figured I'd toss this offer out.. I am looking for a 2m DCI Filter, preferably with 'n' connectors & a 435 DCI filter 'n' connectors a must. I have to trade a Uniden HR2600 10m all mode radio in good operating condx. If your interested and only have one filter we could surely work out a reasonable exchange. I never use the 10m radio. and I'd love to see it go to good use. Thanks for reading -Steve Raas N2JDQ FN20vg

Preamp

A friend of mine asked me today for a recommendation for a preamp to use with a handheld and Arrow antenna for AO-51. Since I don't generally use the FM sats I couldn't make a recommendation but thought I would ask here. Thanks, 73, -- Jeff, KE9V

I am looking for a M2 436CP42UG UHF antenna and a M2 2MCP22 VHF antenna for my satellite station. I hate to purchase new, but if I get no response within the next few weeks, I guess I will have to place an order. Please let me know what you have and asking price. Thanks, RoD KD0XX A good friend will come and bail you out of jail, A TRUE friend will be sitting next to you saying..... "DAMN THAT WAS FUN"

A thought concerning AO-51 and field day
by John Price 03 May '07

03 May '07

Field Day station K4CQ Lynchburg Amateur Radio Club I read the article in the journal concerning field 2007. I understand that on the FM satellites only one contact is allowed for credit. Last year when AO-51 was configured for the QRP operation on the second transponder we were allowed two contacts via AO-51. Since the decision has been made to use Mode-L on this second transponder why not allow two contacts again this year? I see no reason for field day stations to make the effort on Mode-L if they can get there one credit on mode V/u. I guess there is a valid reason for the Mode-L on field day. I would guess it would be to motivate stations to use it. Just my thoughts for your consideration. 73's << John -- N4QWF Amateur Radio Operator AO-7,AO-27,FO-29,SO-50,AO-51,VO-52 Internet N4QWF(a)AMSAT.ORG Formerly KC4AHW VK3FEZ Amsat Member #27845 DXCC #33,478 VUCC SAT #135 WAS SAT #296 51 on 51 #13 LON -79.25 LAT 37.45 Grid FM07 >From the Foothills of the Blueridge
