At least I did have 2 good western passes on AO-91 and SO-50 a little later. All qsos from our trip will be posted to LoTW as N6REK/7 by Monday. 73, Bob N6REK Sent from my iPhone

Lunar Oscarbox J
by David Fine 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

I'm looking for information (possibly a schematic) for a Lunar Electronics Oscarbox J that I picked up from an estate sale. I'm not sure exactly what it is and haven't been able to find any information on it. Looks like it might be a 432-436 mHz converter? Any help please? Dave, W0DF

Mystery sat --> sat lists
by Hans BX2ABT 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Was testing my new LNA today and saw digital signals for a few minutes on 437.492 MHz (http://bx2abt.com/main/data/_uploaded/image/20190418_1344-mystery.png). I usually use amsat.ar page to see what's floating above me, otherwise check sat info on DK3WN's site. At 5:44 UTC there was nothing in my sky that was using a frequency around 437.492. On DK3WN's site I also couldn't find anything. So my question: what other sources of sat info or frequency lists are you using that could be helpful in my case? Also, are there other sites that show what spacecrafts are located above you, right now, but can also show you that for a date/time in the past? Cheers, Hans BX2ABT
