Dec 10 0122 connected to my self and disconnected several times, I also sent
myself several packets. Only other thing heard was FAST1 beacon. This was
1200b. Will try 9600b next orbit.

After the 0300 pass I'll leave my mailbox open (K8TL-1). If you can't sleep

1200B.

I have been monitoring 437.345 MHz. Today I found a bunch of frames from
RAX-1. Since I can't find any current info on RAX-1 I wonder if RAX-2 is
identifying as RAX-1. Haven't seen anything from FAST1 since Saturday evening.
Never anything at 9600, thought maybe the 9600 might be broke on my
Pedro,
For 9600B I connect PTT and TX data to the sub jack and receive audio to the
Main Jack. This has worked fine for many satellites and several different TNC's.
For 1200b I use the aux jack. This works fine for both satellite and simplex.

Several years ago, due to corroded pins, I contacted Yaesu for a replacement
(the male side). I decided while at it I would get a spare female. The price
they quoted before shipping was $100 Plus I hard wired it!! Used same fix
for the on off switch on the control box!

Shopping for new rig:
Does the 9100 do Classic mode A 2m up 10 M down? Received two answers from
ICOM Yes and No! It seems to me that it will but I want to be sure.
The recent review in QST said that the BA1 didn't support Satellite operation,
is that true?
Any one try it on EME?
Thanks in
I have an extra GB-5500, It has several minor issues. If you want more info

Still don't know how to answer direct but:
I have the CW filter, It works but I have never needed it! Of course the 1.2
Ghz module hasn't been used since AO-40 died. I turn the 1.2 Ghz module on
every once in a while to blow the cob webs out of my 2C39 amp. Also have the
UT-106 module, not
Didn't get my two cents worth in on the U-110 (fixing antennas after wind storm)
The articles had to be in the early '80's. Used out of the box as elevation.
Was getting serious about the mods when the KenPro came out so they are still
sitting on the shelf. My records show I got the KenPro in

If you have an old computer with an ISA slot or just collecting Satellite
relics make a reasonable offer. Original box, manual and the like.

My FCD receives as well as my IC-910.
At present I am using it mainly as a spectrum analyzer. On SO-52 you can see
the whole band pass plus the beacon.
It is interesting to note the beacon level versus most of the signals in the
pass band.
Also I can visually copy the CW from the beacon
Didn't know there was anything left with Manchester encoding!! There is a
PSK-1/DFMTNC on Ebay with a few days to go.

This morning I worked Jari OH2FQV in KP20Mmf. He thinks that the 7170 KM

checking I did notice that there was about a minute between his LOS

While I'm not much in favor of an expansion, the ARRL is having enough problems
administering the awards they all ready offer.
I would suggest you pattern any expansion along the lines of the DXCC

Glen,
I see you have been sucessful in posting to the AMSAT BB. I have made several
attempts to post a question I have about the old track box but it never
appears. I have used amsat-bb@amsat.org. All indications are it goes out,
doesn't appear in the undeliverable box but nothing on the daily
