LeRoy, I'm not sure how you can have a source other than NASA, other than two hams who made independant recordings of Apollo transmissions. In 1971 (summer issue) a QST article talks of Dick Knadle(sp?) KRIW who got some, and another ham, I believe W4HHK received signals as well. I'd also bet the Russian space agency has stuff. Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you have questions about any fakery of moon landings, find the Myth Busters TV show. They did a *really* good job of debunking several myths about how things were faked. I do not find this discussion OT for Amsat-bb, because this affects us. It erodes the effort of tens of thousands of technical people, and has ripple effects for the USA, far beyond the original topic. --STeve Andre' wb8wsf en82 ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

These are very important questions. I think it is also important that we have a shared understanding of the answers, rather than private opinions. I suggest that the researcher also approach the ARRL for an opinion. My suspicion is that AMSAT and the ARRL will provide conservative (and unofficial) answers to these questions. It is much safer to say no, that's prohibited than yes. In my view, this may be a question that we want to approach the FCC with. I suspect that, if the question is properly framed, the FCC might be more inclined to find this acceptable than either AMSAT or the ARRL. -tjs Clint Bradford wrote: Can an AMSAT officer please privately reply to me regarding this email inquiry?

Yes, we used an old TS-408/U (military version of a hp 608A signal generator) a polaplexer, and Bill Burns 8-foot trailer mounted dish. We got good S/N ratio on the carrier, but couldn't recover information from the sidebands. If I remember correctly, the downlink was about 2287 MHz. The downlink/uplink ratio was 240/221, Milt Brockman's ratio we used in the DSN since the L-band days. 73, Dick K6HIJ So there you have it. 73, Ed - KL7UW This is *really* cool. So there are some small number of hams who've done this. Given that we on this list just learned of at least two more receptions, I'm curious how many there are, and how many might have some audio of their efforts.

All, First- If you want to get in touch with an officer or a board member, email them directly. calls...@amsat.org almost always works, or go to the webpage and use the link next to their name. If it is time sensitive or very important, call the office and Martha will direct you to the appropriate person and probably even give you their phone number. Second- If you can, try investigating the question a bit before immediately passing it off. I can tell you I am running at about 150% with AMSAT things that require my attention. Not to sound crass, but at least 75% of the email questions I get could be solved with Google and 30 seconds of your time.

All, I wanted to publicly thank Doug for going on the road recently and activating grids that we might not see again for some time and more especially for the QSL cards which he sent subsequently. Mine arrived today, a card for each contact with full 6 character grid square locators and County information - great for those of us that chase these additional bits of information.

I'll give them all a pat on the back. Also, don't forget Jim - ND9M and John - K8YSE recent trips. Everyone's happy but the trees (all those great QSL cards) Great job guys, 73 - Rick WA4NVM I second David's comments! My cards arrived from Doug today, too. Thank you! Doug, Gail (KB0RZD) and David (KB0RZE) and Patrick (WD9EWK) continue to go above and beyond to activate grids wherever they may be. Some are more rare than others, but I appreciate every one of them. Thank you guys, for going to the expense and making the effort necessary to operate away from home. 73 to all, Tim - N3TL -- Original message from David - KG4ZLB kg4...@googlemail.com: -- All, I wanted to publicly thank Doug for going on the road recently and activating grids that we might not see again for some time and more especially for the QSL cards which he sent subsequently.

[amsat-bb] WD9EWK Update 23:00 UTC July 21
Hey everyone, Patrick just called to say that he will NOT be on the 23:18-ish UTC pass of AO-51. He has no visibility to the east in the area he's in. However, he WILL be on the next orbit of AO-51, which covers much of the western U.S. That pass is about 00:58 UTC tonight. He plans to post to the BB later this evening with his plans for Wednesday operations. 73 to all, Tim - N3TL ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Rare grid squares?
What are considered rare grid squares for satellite ops? Maybe more of us could activate them, if we only knew where they were. George, KA3HSW ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

George, I was thinking the same thing. Are there grids in Minn or eastern SD/ND That would make a nice weekend trip? What is needed?

[amsat-bb] Re: Rare grid squares?
DXers produce list of desired countries. Six meter operators have compiled such a list of grid squares, I suspect our list would be similar. If you have not read about the Fred Fish (w5ff) award, it is interesting. I think Randy, n7sfi is probably our Fred Fish as I don't know of anyone else who has all of the grids touched by the lower 48 states. I would like to see two lists; one for Grids and one for States. Satellite operations should make for an easy WAS, but I know it took me way longer than I thought it should have. A few years ago to spark interest QRP-L had a one state per weekend deal for QRP ops. Maybe we should do a one state a weekend for satellite ops? Anyway... I would be willing to help with such a project. I think a good starting point might be a web site where folks could report what they have or have not worked. It might even be enough to get me to update my grid list :-) 73, Joe kk0sd -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of George Henry Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 10:32 PM To: amsat bb Subject: [amsat-bb] Rare grid squares?

[amsat-bb] Re: Rare grid squares?
Hi Marv! I was thinking the same thing. Are there grids in Minn or eastern SD/ND That would make a nice weekend trip? What is needed? Just about anywhere in the places you mentioned above could be needed by a lot of satellite operators. Then again, don't worry about what is needed or wanted. If you're taking a trip, take a portable satellite station along for the ride - then get on the air. 73!
