Does anyone know of or have a copy of the schematic for OSCAR-1? Google hasn’t turned up anything useful.
73, Mike Diehl W8LID/VE6LID
The transmitter schematic is available in the February 1962 issue of QST (direct link for ARRL members at http://p1k.arrl.org/pubs_archive/46290). Unfortunately, the digital keying circuit is omitted from the schematic as "the transmitter keyer makes use of digital circuits which may not be familiar to many amateurs." (at least in 1962...)

BTW, does anyone else despise the new "electronic edition" that ARRL has gone to for 2012 and forward?
I can't download an article into a nice neat PDF and keep it on my local machine. The mobile app is terrible, not even allowing me to print an old article properly.

Yes. It was one of the items I specifically mentioned in my feedback to the new ARRL head honcho as an example of how ARRL's current priorities make them far less appealing for the younger generation.

Works fine on the Mac OS…hit the electronic version of the QST app’s “Print" button, select the pages you want and then instead of printing you simply hit the "Save as .pdf" function. The old contractor’s app was really dodgy but the new app works FB in my experience.

I didn't even have to do that. Just clicked on the link in mac-firefox and it saved the PDF to downloads. Rob KA2CZU

Indeed. As Paul said, you need to be an ARRL member to use that link.
