It should be back soon, but tonight, please tune in to the KE4TTE repeater on 442.1 MHz. Ted has graceously provided this link tonight. See everyone on the net, Dave, AA4KN

Satellite Station at KSC?
by Scott Schmautz 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

Hi All: I was visiting the KSC today (free for Brevard residents) and noticed a building with what looked like a pair of hamsat antennas on the roof over by the rocket garden. Anyone here know the scoop on those? Had a nice visit, was nice to see two shuttles on the pads! Thanks!

Florida AMSAT Net for tonight
by David J 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

I was planning to handle the net again this evening due to our being off line recently for several weeks up here. The only problem is that I have a late doctor's appointment tonight (7:30 - 8:30pm), so if someone else can take it, that would be great. Maybe I'll be free next Thursday. Dave, AA4KN

Hi everyone, We had some technical issue with the N4HHA repeater today, but Mike was able to clear it up (he looks after us real good!), so I'll plan to take the net tonight. Dave, AA4KN

Hi Scott, Thanks for the email. Ken N5VHO brought me up to date on the Echolink situation in an email, so I think I can explain things to the gentlemen on the net next week. He is blind and gets most of his satellite info through us. Welcome to Florida! There is a pretty active group of AMSAT folks around here, especially over in the Orlando area. I'm on the other side of the state in New Port Richey. If you are interested we have an AMSAT-Florida email list that has some activity on it, and we also have a statewide net that meets on Thursdays at 730PM. Your closest repeater would be 443.100 N4HHA in Orlando, or via Echolink node 4429 KG4YZY-R. Our next big function will probably be the Melbourne Hamfest in October, so be sure to drop in and say hi, we could always use help too if you have the time. I'd be happy to have some other active ACs here. 73, Drew KO4MA ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Schmautz To: glasbrenner(a)mindspring.com Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 2:49 PM Subject: ISS via EchoLink Hi Drew: I read your message on the fieldops newsgroup last nite (I used to be a co-ordinator from NY before I moved down to Melbourne, Fl) Did you get the info you needed? I have listened to some of the contacts via the AMSAT conference in the past, I think we got notice via the echolink newsgroup, but I can check into that further. Let me know what info you need, and I'll see what I can dig up. Scott/WB2UZR

Tower sections for sale
by Andrew Glasbrenner 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

I have two sections of Rohn 20 for sale, pretty good shape, one has a bowed zigzag where it was jacked apart. No rust, and straight. Rohn 20 uses the same accessories as Rohn 25, just a little lighter construction and load capacity, and one less zig-zag per section. These are located in New Port Richey. $35 each picked up, firm but open to trade offers. I have a friend with two more sections in Lutz too, if you need more. I'll be home all weekend and can help load them for you. 73, Drew KO4MA
