I recently purchased a Alinco DJ-G7 handheld for 2 reasons. 1) It is a full duplex handheld. 2) it has the 1.2 GHz (23cm) band. I am somewhat disappointed in the full duplex mode. When you transmit in full duplex mode you can hear the CTCSS tone loudly, and it makes it hard to hear your return signal. Why is that I wonder? For L/V mode on Sundays with AO-92 It works great with only 1 watt output and my home brew 12 element yagi that I attached to the boom of my 2 meter/70cm tripod mounted antenna. I had 5 contacts today on the AO-92 passes. The real challenge is the manual doppler shift correction!

I'm not sure how long it's been, but I figured I'd give an update on my FoxTelem 1.07y experience.
I upgraded to 1.07y a few days after it was released, and was previously running 1.06r. My station is pretty simple, just a 3/4 wave vertical in my attic (with 4 radials), running to a FCDP+ plugged into a RasPi 3B.
My decode rate has gone up by about 25 to 50 percent (was averaging about 50 to 75 frames a day, now getting about 70 to 100 per day).
But more impressive (to me) is that it seems much more stable. It used to crash about once a month, and since updating to 1.07y I cannot recall a single crash occurrence (although I have had to stop/start it a couple of times for unrelated reasons).
2 thumbs up to the FoxTelem Team!

An impressive structure, no doubt. But I wonder what level of vibration/noise would propagate down the tower into the building when that beast is hoisted into the air.

Hello All,
This Friday and Saturday I will be heading to Mildura in the north west of VK3.? I will be operating from Wyperfeld, Murray-Sunset and Hattah-Kulkyne National parks. For those collecting grids I will be in QF04, QF05 and QF15 (and maybe QF14). QF04 may be rare as I have not had a QSO to or from that one.
Hope to catch you on the birds.

All-
I've been working to get my radio working correctly with the PSTRotator AZ/EL control software. The software tracks the satellites beautifully, but the Doppler tracking seems messed up (which is likely an operator problem on my part), so I need some help if anyone else is using this combination.
Here's my problem: When I follow the instructions given in the manual, I can get the software to track the Doppler, but the tracking can't seem to be tweaked to get the downlink in exactly the right place- it's always about a kHz or so high. Of course, if the station I'm working is on my downlink frequency, I have to adjust my RX to get the proper audio frequency. Then the tracking takes over and my TX frequency jumps to again offset the downlink (it's tweaking the uplink, because the station I'm trying to work is still in the right place). What am I doing wrong?
Has anyone here ever seen this issue and gotten this to work properly?
Thanks in advance for any help- I really want this working before Field Day!

Hi!
On my way to southern California for the Memorial Day weekend on Friday (24 May), I will make a detour to work some passes from the DM23vx/DM24va grid boundary, north of the AZ-72/AZ-95 junction near Quartzsite in Arizona's La Paz County. I am planning to work the AO-91 and AO-92 passes between 1600 and 1830 UTC, and will try the CAS-4A and CAS-4B passes between 1700 and 1800 UTC.
Updates on Friday morning will be posted on my @WD9EWK Twitter feed, which can be seen in a web browser at http://twitter.com/WD9EWK without a Twitter account. All QSOs will be uploaded to Logbook of the World, and please e-mail me directly if you work me and want a QSL card to confirm QSOs.

Hi All,
I suspect a large amount of you are aware but as passes have been quiet, I thought I'd mention it on the newsgroup.
At the moment it's possible to comfortably work North America on afternoon FO-29 and AO-91 passes. If you haven't worked Europe on satellites nows a good time to try :)
A rough idea of what I have been working
AO-91 - VY2HF, VE9CB, KB2YSI, VE9BEL, VE1EM, VO1YR, CJ7EWK/3
FO-29 - W3ZM/8, K4KDR, N6RFM, WB8RJY, VA3NNA, NS3L
If you'd like to try a sked then let me know!
73,
Peter, 2M0SQL (IO87ip)

Here's the interesting part:
"They write that the attack could also be carried out from within the aircraft, but the requirements for a strong signal and thus large power amplifier and directional antenna would still be required, making the operation too suspicious to carry out onboard."

I've tried listening for the HF net on 20m, but never hear much. Anyone know if it is still active?
The 20M AMSAT net used to be on Sundays at 1900Z on 14.282 MHz with Keith W5IU and Larry W7LB as net control. W7LB is a silent key now; W5IU hasn't seemed to be active on the net lately. Or, propagation on 20M has been poor.

happened to be working in Houston this week and caught the amsat voice net on 2meters which included sstv thoroughly enjoyed that.
When you're out of range of the Houston repeaters, the Houston AMSAT Net also simulcasts on Echolink node *AMSAT* 101377. Tuesday evening at 2000 Central Time (year round at 2000 regular time or daylight time) Same great bunch of folks :-)

The Houston AMSAT net is also available as a podcast so you can listen to it anytime if your schedule keeps you busy on Tuesday nights.
