40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the first manned moon landing, the special event callsign VE3MOON will be operating from 14-27 July. We will be operating satellites from the Canada Museum of Science and Technology during much of this period, usually between 1400 UTC and 2000 UTC. We will also be working HF from various locations throughout the duration of the event.
We do not have a set schedule, but we do have multiple radios and operators. Popular satellites among our operators are AO-51, SO-50, VO-52, FO-29, and the ISS.
There will be a QSL card for this special call. QSL management is through VE3OIJ.

Hello Myles,
I have one LVB tracker interface under Yaesu G5500 rotator, is not installed outside yet, what I have idea to do this weekend, but i can tell you I have made 1 week tests inside home and I liked very much the precision and performance under NOVA for Windows.
Easy, no external DC supply needed, and very simple to program and setting up. LCD show me azimuth and alevation where antena is and where she goes.
I can take photos and sent you this evening.

Hi, I am using the LVB Tracker since few months now, with automatic tracking controlled by SATPC32 (on a lap top running Windows XP, connected directly to the LVB Tracker via USB) with absulutely no problems...
The antennas are controlled by G-5500.
By the way, the SatPC32 SW also controlls hre an ICOM IC910H via CAT through a USB to RS232.

Myles, I have had one of the original LVB units AMSAT made as the fundraiser(visit AMSAT website to purchase). It has worked flawlessly. It is a bit of a challenge to put it in place and calibrate if you have NOT ever set up something like this before. I have had many experiences doing so and it didn't take long for me to have it up and running. Putting the USB software to run it via your computer may take some re-reading of the instructions but it all comes out easy and simple to let happen. I use this under PCsat32 and also NOVA. Tracks fine. I use a second one to demo at hamfests with a portable setup to show how it functions. I also did this at Field Day for my local club with the help of another AMSAT veteran. It has been a great addition to my shack to make it one less thing I have to worry about while making these LEO passes work. P.S. I can't wait for an HEO to buzz up the satellite activity- I'll be at Sussex County, NJ Hamfest 7/12/09 to demo this WX permitting.

Cost is very reasonable-AMSAT gets the profits-after purchase support is excellent- easy to setup and use

I can only say good things about the LVB Tracker ;-)
73, Howard G6LVB
Darren and all,
Thank you for this post.
Later today, I'll be posting information about a stateside special call and operation in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. This will be a satellite-only operation.
73 to all,
