New subject: [amsat-bb] AMSAT-BB Digest, Vol 12, Issue 170

12 Jul 2017

      Is there a blog/support site for SatPC32?
Even though I DL the AMSAT Keps via SatPC,  AO85 never appears as a selectable SAT within the program setup.

I have available a spare 16 turn RHCP 1.2Ghz helix for sale. Aluminum reflector, stainless steel support, UV protected PVC supports, It was a spare I was going to use on AO-40 (sobsob). It is home brew and about 80% complete. I can finish it up in a few hours if anyone is interested in it. I can provided pictures and details. I have built about 10 of these back in the day of HEO.

Its been 4 years.
K2BSA's going back to Summit Bechtel for the 2017 National Scouting
Jamboree in Beckley WV, we arrive this weekend to begin building the
station.    Help us show off Amateur Radio to the many (25,000) scouts at
the Jamboree.  We'll be on the FM and linear satellites.
I appreciated K8YSE's synopsis from 2013 so much I thought I'd share it
again.

W4UOO is operating as K2BSA from Beckley West Virginia
EM97.  West Virginia is a rare state on satellites.  It's
small and very mountainous and most places are down in the valleys
such that they don't have a low horizon.  I drove down to Beckley
several years ago to hand out EM97.  It was 300 miles one way.  Now
is your chance to work this grid and state.  Mike was able to work
down pretty low.  This is a great opportunity.  He was worked on FO-29.

Here is the answer I got to my inquiry about bringing ham radio gear on
board.  It looks like blanket permission since in "Exemptions and Other
Considerations" it states "Permitted to be used on board"

Since the ship is registered in Panama all I need to do is contact the ARRL
for my IARP Permit.  Has anyone had a problem taking an Elk or Arrow antenna
on a plane or will it have to go in the belly (extra $25)? (broke down, not
together)

Thank you for your inquiry.

Yes, you are able to bring your ham radio onboard.

My wife, son and I are booked on a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean from
Miami aboard the Splendor, booking # XXXXXX. As I was reading through the
"What to Pack" I clicked on "Prohibited Items",
Listed under "Carnival Corporation Prohibited Items" you list "Emergency
Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), ham radios, satellite phones,
transformers, lasers and laser pointers" yet under "Exemptions and Other
Considerations" you have "Ham Radios/Amateur Radio Equipment: Permitted to
be used on board". Can I bring my hand held ham radio on board or not?

We AMSAT cruised,  we were constantly being questioned by security folks,
especially where we were out at night on deck and aiming our arrows at the
sky.  It just took persistence and MANY contacts were made by several
people.

Gridders,

I'll be roving to FN12 & FN22 tomorrow 7/12 from late
afternoon and into the evening. My plan is to use the
FO29, SO50 & XW2 Birds. On the linear SATs, you should
hear me somewhat up the bandpass. On SO50, I'm hoping
I'll able to finish a QSO or two (!). I may be able to
get down to FN11/21 the next morning, but not for sure.

Hello Jim,
  Download MMSSTV, it is free and still the best and you can be up and running with your equipment in 5 minutes.
  The best web page for help is by WA9TT.  His web page has a beginner section and live sstv capture worldwide.
  Transmission is on 145.800 and MMSSTV automatically finds the format being used.  
  You can go to 14.230 to practice rx prior to the event.
  Email me direct if you have any questions? 

Good luck & 73,
Dave,  WN9Q

I highly recommend recording the audio.

That way if you have issues decoding during TX you can always replay to the
decoder later. Also you can try different decoders and settings to see
which produces the best image.

I have more tips and info on this page on my website:

Two items for that page:

2: qsstv for linux works fine for decoding ISS images.
