Guys, I'm working late tonight and will not be able to conduct the net nor check in. If one of the "back-ups" could take over... Thanks, Mike - N4HHA

Triband HT for sale
by Andrew Glasbrenner 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

I have an Alinco DJ-G7 tribander for sale. It comes with a Diamond RH951S aftermarket triband antenna, a Yaesu speaker mike, an Alinco speaker mike adapter cable, box, manual, EDH-35 AA battery pack, and the original battery and charger. The original battery went open circuit last summer in a hot car. This HT covers 2m, 70cm, and 1.2 GHz, and also has a wideband receiver. It's a great HT, I just have too many of them. I'll only sell to a amateur radio licensee. I can meet in Tampa or New Port Richey, and all points in between. I'll also be at the AMSAT table all weekend at the Orlando hamfest. Price is $240 obo. 73, Drew KO4MA

AMSAT @ Orlando Hamcation February 11-13
by Andrew Glasbrenner 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi Gang, The Orlando Hamcation is just a week away, and AMSAT will be there in force. We have a forum scheduled Saturday from 1:45 to 3:15, and this year it is INSIDE! I expect ARISSat-1 will be the main topic of discussion. We'll have live satellite demonstrations, ranging from simple handheld/portable operations, to fully automated systems. The ARISSat-1 engineering model will be on display, and on the air. I'll have a FUNcube Dongle Pro on display and in use. I'm also planning on having materials on hand for new members to build their own CJU 435 MHz antenna, for free as incentive to join and support AMSAT. To make this all happen, we need your help. Orlando has become AMSAT's busiest hamfest behind Dayton, and we need current members to assist in the booth. If you can help answer questions and talk up the amateur satellite program, please consider putting in a few hours behind the table. Drop me an email at ko4ma(a)amsat.org, and let me know when you can come by and help out! 73, Drew KO4MA
