This afternoon on the sats
by Andrew Glasbrenner 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

Hi all, This afternoon I am hosting a small group from the St. Pete Yacht Club as a follow-up to my presentation last month. We are going to go over equipment in more detail, and will try to be on the afternoon's FM passes, and probably FO-29 as well. They are gearing up for a trip to Mexico and back, and plan to operate satellite along the way. So, if you hear some new calls on this afternoon, please make an effort to give them a QSO, and welcome them to the satellites. 73, Drew KO4MA

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

02 Jan '11

It is with sadness that I note the passing of one of our AMSAT stalwarts here in the Orlando area, Chuck Hennessey, W4AT. Chuck participated extensively on the P3D project. Notice was made in the Orlando Sentinel newspaper for 31 December 2010 noting that Chuck pass away on 29 December 2010. Dick Jansson, KD1K

30 Dec '10

All - My nighttime counterpart at MCO was in a car mishap of some sort. Point is I am filling in for him at the airport tonight. This is the last net of the year and I hope one of the normal stand-bys will be able to take the net tonight. If not, could someone make an announcement so the group won't think I forgot... :) Thanks and happy new year to all! 73, DE N4HHA
