Symposium Pre-Registration Extended
by Emily Clarke 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Since most (about 90%) of Symposium Registrations have been through the website we have made a decision to extend pre-registration through the 24th of September. We were able to do this because the production cycle for badges, etc. is now automated and requires very little human intervention except some minor paper handling! So if you haven't signed up now is your chance to get in at the last minute without having to pay the additional fee! 73, Emily Symposium Chair --------------------------------- N1DID formerly W0EEC - CM87tm Support Project OSCAR - http://www.projectoscar.net

Hey Joe, KM1P - Many thanks! I think this should do it. I think I have a leaky bypass capacitor that causing rf to get to the case. 73 - Joe, KS1I -----Original Message----- From: Joe Fitzgerald [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 5:11 PM To: Joe Kononchik Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Astron SS-30M schematic needed Joe Kononchik wrote: > I was wondering if anyone had a schematic for the Astron SS-30M switching power supply. > Joe, Try ftp://bama.sbc.edu/downloads/astron/ss30/astron%20ss-30.pdf I think the only difference is that your supply has meters. -Joe KM1P

Elmer Needed - LEO data and telemetry
by N6FO - Jim Cottle 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hi There, I would appreciate direct contact with someone here for extended questions regarding using WISP, etc for the TLM in the LEOs. I have no problem tracking GO-32 and AO-51, getting a good solid DCD during the pass but, try as I might, I cannot seem to get WISP to work. I get far more (albiet unrecognizable ASCII) when I simply connect to my TNC with hyperterminal. When I use WISP, I get nothing but files stuffed in the satellite directory. Anyone who wouldn't mind helping me with some stupid questions and linking up with me directly would be greatly appreciated. I am needless to say, not a fan of LEOs so far and would just like to use the digital capabilities at 9600 and 36K. My station is well equipped, but I have all of the tools and none of the talent. I am a fast learner, and have requested Martha send me a copy of the AMSAT guide (should be here any day now). I am tired of simply seeing my array track a 10 or 15 minute pass with nothing intelligible to show for it. I would like to read some telemetry? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!! I will return the favor once I am tutored. Jim N6FO San Francisco

Board vote results

Thank you, Martha, for posting the results of this years election... Our membership totals when I first joined AMSAT years ago were published, and I hope I made a miniscule contribution to its growth at that time... Membership totals were proudly published, and for the life of me I cannot locate any now. Can anyone reading this missile point to them?? 73, Dave wb6llo(a)amsat.org Disagree: I learn....

S Band UP
by sco＠sco-inc.com 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

I now have 2m, 70cm and 2.4ghz antennas for satellites. The radio is a Ft-847 with receive SSB preamps on V and U bands. I have a BBQ dish with a SSB 2.4 ghz downconverter. That will work fine with P3E (it did with AO-40). Could I still use the same dish for S Band uplink on Eagle? I would need some form of a upconverter (from 70cm to 2.4 ghz) plus a amp, to make that work? If I am using the S band for the uplink which band am I using for the downlink? 2m or 70cm? Les W4SCO

Greetings It was sad today to see AMSAT has dropped the weekly KEPS update for AO-40 (sk). Still wishing for an AO-7 situation. 73 Bob W7LRD Seattle
