[amsat-bb] Re: SSB Operation on the satellites.
Hi Doug, Here is the best article on the subject with an explanation of why and what to do: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/features/one_true_rule.html Welcome to satellites! 73, Tony AA2TX AMSAT, VP Engineering --- - Original Message - From: Douglas Phelps dphel...@ameritech.net To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Wednesday, June 8, 2011 8:59:51 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] SSB Operation on the satellites. I am new to the satellites. Got to where I can hear my downlink if the bird is higher than 15 degrees. My question is about handling the doppler shift. If you do not have a sat program automatically correcting you rig frequency, what is the most common or preffered technique? 1 - Hold the TX steady and adj the RX for doppler or 2- Hold the RX steady and adjust the TX for doppler? I know this must be a basic question but I am learning. Thanks, Doug K9DLP ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Re: FO-29 and VO-52
Hello Jean-Francois, I have worked VO-52 with omni antennas and an FT-817 on SSB with no problem at all. FO-29 should work too as long as there are no high-power stations pumping the satellite AGC. 73, Tony AA2TX --- - Original Message - From: Jean-François Ménard jf.va...@gmail.com To: AMSAT-BB@amsat.org Sent: Tuesday, August 4, 2009 8:53:17 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [amsat-bb] FO-29 and VO-52 Hi, I would like to know if I'm dreaming, but will it be possible for me to use these two satellites with my pair of FT-817 running on SatPC32?? Am I asking too much for my 5W only radios ?? I'm using 2 Eggbeater antenna from M²... EB-144 and EB432 with AR² preamps on both antennas feed with heliax. 73 -- Jean-François Ménard VA2SS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AMSAT www.amsat.org / Member #37102 ARRL www.arrl.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
