[amsat-bb] AO-27 Pass 2023 UTC
Hi Guy's, I think I was the only station from CN85 working this particular pass. I didn't hear any other station from CN85. I'm kind of taken back when some unidentified station identified "the CN85" station as always having problems and he doesn't know what he's doing or having problems with. You know what, maybe your are right. But then I could hear the sat very well, I could hear my station identify myself, and I did very much not try to step on any one already in communication that had control of the sat and waited my turn until it cleared. I would have very much preferred to have an email or a call from someone offering to help a station that's relatively new to sats and act as an elmer rather than cast the aspersions as I heard. I am new to sats and I'll not apologize for that. I do have not have a lot of experience with the Icom 910 but I've tried to assemble a reasonable satellite station. More help would be appreciated than criticized over the air. 73 Joe KT7E CN85 ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] FO-29 @ 20:25Z
Hi Folks, Just for my own edification, what the heck was the noise on FO-29 around the 2020UTC pass today? Was that man made stuff or what? Some one playing around, the Sat or? I'm still learning this stuff and I'm just curious. 73 and thank you Joe KT7E CN85 ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] ARRISSAT1
Hi guys, Well, I heard the announcement enough times I thought I'd try some CW. So at the 1930 UTC pass today I had the rig set up and a soon as I heard the sat I started calling cq But, not having the kepps Installed I had to keep adjusting the VFO, which was OK. There was some one else doing CW and the copy was a tad fast for me I listened for some time till it went totally out of range, but it was Q5 copy all the way. Being a newbe at Sats this is all new to an old HF guy. Good job Amsat and we certainly look forward to the Fox projects. 73 and and have a great new year Joe KT7E ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] ARISSAT1
ARISSAT1, The pass over the Pacific Northwest yesterday afternoon at 2320 was heard for several minutes. The anouncement and telemetry was heard. I can't do SSTV or read the telemetry and the signal was a tad weak but we heard the whole pass. 73 all, as I learn how to do this sat stuff Joe KT7E CN85mm ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Joanne "CN:35"
Joanne, My mistake, I was trying to work AO-27 which on the other side of the country and I guess I gave my grid as CN35 not CN 85. A newbe at work still trying to learn how this Sat stuff works. Lots to learn after years of HF. (You were right Wyatt) 73 Joe KT7E CN85mm ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] IC 910H Hints?
Hi Folks, I'm trying to learn all the little ins and outs of the IC 910H that I've had for a short time. Is there an active station in the Portland, OR or Beaverton, Hillsboro area that has this radio that I can communicate with to help learn some little hints and quirks for it's operation. Especially when it comes to using SatPC32 and the LVB Tracker interface. It's all working, but I'd really like to become a lot more efficient with the radio, software and the protocol. I don't hink I'm being very efficient with either the radio and software. Being a newbie to Sats I'd really like to get the operating procedures down like I know what I'm doing. hihi Thank so much to all the Amsat folks, Dee especially, and have a great holiday. Also, a very honorable thank you to those surviving Pearl Harbor Day, Dec. 7th 1941. A very special day indeed for our real hero's. 73 Joe KT7E from the great wet Pacific North West ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] TS 2000 Question
Hi Folks, My first post to the BB website. I'm new to the Sat world and trying to find the suitable radio here. Can someone tell me if the TS 2000 will put DC voltage down the coax to trigger the pre-amp? I'm also considering an Icom 910H if I could find one. 73 and thank you Joe KT7E ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Receive Report
Gould and Dee, It is with pleasure that I'm able to say I heard the the new ARISS1 at 0946Z (0246 local) from CN85mm. A solid copy but didn't last very long. I heard the lady's intro for about 20 seconds then gone. My first experience with the new satellite and only my 4th or 5 total contacts being so new. Congratulations Gould, Dee, AMSAT and all who worked on the project. 73 and take care Joe KT7E ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
