[amsat-bb] school demo today SO50
This afternoon, Jack, KF5LOQ, will do a school demo during the SO-50 pass at 2026 UTC. This is a very low pass - 6 degree - in EM30. Please watch out for him and give him a contact. Or, give him a little space to make the contacts. This demo is for the fifth graders at St Theodore-Holy Family School in Lake Charles LA and a part of a presentation designed to drum up interest in ham radio with these students. If I hear y'all responding to him, I'll sit back and let y'all. Maybe mention your town or state instead of grid.

[amsat-bb] 2013 AMSAT Symposium in Houston - My Observations
This was my first AMSAT-NA symposium. (I had been to at least two UK ones.) It was excellent. Great to put the faces with the voices. I felt right art home. And of course it was a great pleasure to finally meet Hector. We have gotten to know each other so well over the last few years via emails. It was also a treat to meet and get my picture with W5LFL. It was my unsuccessful attempt in 1983 to talk to him that kindled my interest in the hamsats. I treasure the recording I made of his pass in Columbia. I had my then 5 yr old son assist me in constructing the turnstile antenna. He is now KB5ILL. He got his ticket at age 12. (Do I hear the rumblings for a Journal article? Hi!) The symposium planners did a great job. 73 George WA5KBH -Original Message- From: Clayton Coleman kayakfis...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, November 8, 2013 12:15 To: AMSAT-BB amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] 2013 AMSAT Symposium in Houston - My Observations 1. It was great to see so many operators in attendance. I lost count of the total but here are just a few of the more frequent North American stations heard on the birds: N5AFV, N5ZNL, AC0RA, CO6CBF/KF5YXV, KO4MA, WD9EWK K5OE/M0GOE, WA5KBH, KF5LOQ, N8RO, N0JE 2. There were lots of great presentations. I stayed awake for most! 3. The forecast for future transponder-capable satellites (FM SSB) looks bright. 4. The banquet panel was outstanding and very well received by all. 5. Houston knows how to put on a fun Symposium. Kudos to the host committee! 6. I was pleased to see some of the developments around licensing Cubesats in terms of experimental versus amateur licensing. 7. We had an eclectic collection of amateurs in attendance – all with their own unique perspectives in building and/or operating satellites.You could likely never assemble such a team outside of the AMSAT Symposium venue. 8. There are many kind and generous individuals within AMSAT-NA who were supportive of one of our foreign visitors and in making his journey special. 9. Only a few people fell asleep during my presentation. None snored. 10. Even Texas BBQ from Papa’s is better than Memphis B-B-Q.

And I thought it might be interesting to look at the stats and how one manages to work and confirm all 488 USA lower 48 States grids. Satellite operators come and go and grids come and go with them. A grid might have a very active operator in it and then it is off the air when that person goes away for whatever reason. Interestingly, about half of the 488 grids that were worked were from those operating portable, not in the sense of using a radio with batteries, but in the traditional sense of operating away from their home station location. Once you have experienced being on the other end of a small pileup, you will want to do it again. Just ask W7LRD who tried it recently and is planning another trip. Here is a list of operators who exited the comfort of their home station and put a grid on the air. The callsign is followed by the number of new grids they gave me towards the goal of working all 488. Others may have been worked but these totals represent the first time a new grid was confirmed. ND9M 54 WD9EWK 27 WC7V 19 KD4ZGW 16 KB0RZD 10 KC0YBM 9 AA5CK 8 KA6SIP 8 KD8COQ 8 N5ZNL 7 W6GMT 7 N0JE 6 N2SPI 6 WA4NVM 5 KB5WIA 4 KB9BIT 4 KC0ZHF 4 KK0SD 4 AA5PK 3 K7CWQ 3 UT1FG 3 W6ZKH 3 WA6ARA 3 WA7HQD 3 WA8SME 3 AC0ZA 2 AJ9K 2 K0BAM 2 K7DRA 2 K7TRK 2 KA0RID 2 KC2LRC 2 KE7DOV 2 N3TL 2 N5AFV 2 Jim, ND9M, is a seasoned grid expeditioner. Along with working satellites he is also active on the county hunters nets. Most of his activity was between 2009 and 2011. He was also active from a cargo ship and gave out the very rare DM02. Jim would travel for months at a time and worked from a few hundred grids. Most of that operating was done on FM birds rather than linear ones. It was great to have many daily fm passes when AO-27 and AO-51 were active. HO-68 and SO-67 were in the mix for a while too. 54 new grids came from Jim and he tops the list. Most everyone knows Patrick WD9EWK. He has done a lot of traveling both in the US and Canada and he gave me 27 new grids. He was very active on the birds until recently. He was an alternate on the AMSAT Board of Directors and was recently appointed to oversee the AMSAT Area Coordinator program. He virtually has no home station and most all local contacts were made from a park near his apartment in Phoenix. He knows how to do it and he is a meticulous planner. Next on the list is Kerry WC7V. He lives in sparsely populated Montana and travels around by car and in his light aircraft. He went to many grids at my request and made a lot of us very happy by operating from many rare locations. He is in slot number 3 with 19 grids. Next on the list is Rob KD4ZGW/m. Rob drove an 18 wheeler and we all heard him on a satellite one day. He didn't know his grid square but he knew his milepost on the interstate. From there we had the grid square. Rob went on to improve his mobile station and activated over 100 grid squares. He is no longer driving on long hauls and has not been active for some time. He is fourth on the list with 16 grids. The next three are very special because they all became new operators during the quest to work all 488. Gail KB0RZD is very active today, usually operating with a handie-talkie. He went to 10 grids around him and sent some photo qsl cards that were just outstanding. KC0YBM operated from his home location for a long time before I realized he was very close to other grids. Chris didn't have portable equipment so I suggested he look into an AC inverter for the car. He did just that and soon he was operating portable from some new grids. This speaks to the ham radio culture that you find a way to operate with what you have. Chris continues to be active and hands out grids in the US and Canada. And then there is Ted, AA5CK. He has operated in grids around his home qth as well as some rare ones in New Mexico. He lives in EM04, not far from EM05 where I made my first grid expedition contact with KD8CAO from EM05 in front of the White Dog Ranch on old Route 66. I remember Ted's first sat contact. There are a few very special operators that can't be left out. My son, KD8CAO, provided 8 new grids for his dad. He knows how to operate portable

Since March 18th, 2010, there have been about 2800 recordings posted totalling about 1.9Gb. AO-51 is the most recorded satellite with 1358 files. It was a great bird and its demise was a great loss to the satellite community. But the sound from it is preserved. It's interesting to go back and listen to some of the older recordings to see what has changed and what has not changed. AO-27 is the second most popular with about 920 recordings. They are all edited to remove the part of the pass that is either silent or contains telemetry. HO-68 is another bird which we all miss. There are 86 pass recordings to remember it by. Likewise there are 69 recordings of SO-67, a bird you could hear easily with a rubber duck antenna. There are linear bird recordings as well but I don't post many since you have to tune around to pick up qso's and then stay with them for a bit. But they are there and some show how much like HF a linear bird can sound like when someone like UT1FG/MM shows up from a wet grid. Now that VO-52 is back on I'll try to post some recordings of that one as well. I'm not sure how much longer I'll continue to post these recordings. Many that could benefit from them don't know they are there. 73, John K8YSE ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

Hi! Congratulations to John Papay K8YSE for reaching 1005 confirmed grids for his satellite VUCC award! John has been on the birds for the past few years, missing out on the days of HEO satellites, yet he has spent many days - and nights - chasing stations to add to his log. His Cleveland QTH has a very capable satellite station, which he has continually improved over the years. If he is in the footprint, he has been able to work anyone he hears. In fact, he has not stopped in his quest to log more satellite QSOs and grids to this day, as he tries to work Yuri UT1FG/MM wherever he happens to be sailing right now. With the wet-grid operators like Yuri and Jim ND9M/MM, coupled with others going to other dry places that aren't normally heard on the birds, who knows how many more grids John can add to his satellite log. Along with his home station, he has also worked from many locations away from home to help the rest of us get more QSOs and grids in our logs. In particular, his summer 2010 road trip around Lake Superior with a fully-capable satellite station in the back of his truck. In 2009, he helped a bunch of us with a trip to the rarely-heard state of Delaware. His Delaware QSL card was the last card I needed to file for my satellite WAS award. He has also worked from other locations to help put rare grids on the birds over the past few years. Good luck on getting many more grids, John. 73!

I once stopped along a quiet road and started to operate. Soon I noticed a car pull behind me, so I figured he was curious and I'd be able to promote ham radio. Turns out, it was a policeman. I had pulled off across the road from a prison and they were curious for other reason. He stayed with me during the pass and advised me not to be so quick to pull off...and be more mindful of my surroundings! 73 George WA5KBH -Original Message- From: Rodney Waln kc0...@yahoo.com Sent: Tuesday, November 1, 2011 19:51 To: amsat-bb@amsat.org amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] DN80/DN81 i operated from dn80/81 by Julesburg, CO off the side of the road, those that would like a card just send the contact information to my email and cards will be made up thanks to those that worked me, this weekend if the weather holds out i will operate from west of denver, co kc0zhf back in dn71 ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Many thanks Tim for your comments. From what you've said it sounds like a faulty motor. In the ones you've repaired have you been able to determine the cause of motor over heating? The problems I've had in the past have always been due to water getting into the units. 73CliveG3CWV Hitchin, North Hertfordshire, UK On 07/10/2011 18:50, Tim Cunningham wrote: The common failure of the motor windings is caused by heat which causes the enamel coated wire to breakdown.

I wonder if this is a known fault. Recently the fuse on my G5500 blew. The problem seems to be a short on one of the motor circuits. Checking the DC resistance at the control end, the resistance of one winding is 1.2 ohms, whereas all the other windings are 4.6 ohms. I could understand a motor burning out and going open circuit, but a short circuit seems less likely. I'm wondering if it could be a short on the cable at the rotator end, where it is subject to much bending. There's about 15 metres of cable. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Unfortunately, at the present time I'm not able to inspect the rotator. It's stuck in the horizontal position, so I will still be able to use the antenna for low elevation passes. 73 Clive G3CWV Hitchin, North Hertfordshire, UK ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

John, I worked Hector on 3/3 and 21/4. I am sitting her wondering..I don't know anything about being a qsl manager but wonder if I can help him out. Particularly if it helps him achieve VUCC. I could receive e-mail logs and check and respond to mail requests. I keep up with my own cards, though the volume has dropped as more get EM30 and now abother station is in this grid. And you know I am serious about the hamsats. I'd even pay for his batch of qsl cards. That would not break me. Hi! From your post, it seems you have a relationship with Hector. What do you think? 73 George WA5KBH -Original message- From: saguaroas...@cox.net Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:47:37 -0500 To: John Papay j...@papays.com, amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Hector CO6CBF EL92 John, The timing of your post was fortuitous. I'm just catching up on QSL's and I had worked Hector on 2 Apr. I was about to send him an email asking how to handle the QSL request. I'll keep my eyes on the mailbox. Did you happen to note the calls he QSL'd? Might help someone who worked him but doesn't get a card for whatever reason figure out the details. It was nice to get Cuba in the books. 73 Rick K7TEJ John Papay j...@papays.com wrote: Hector, CO6CBF, made his first satellite QSO back on January 27th, 2011 on the AO-51 satellite. He didn't have much help getting started but he read and built an antenna and made that contact after he could successfully hear others on the satellite. I've only worked 3 Cuban stations, CO8TW in FL20, CO5LU in EL93 and Hector CO6CBF in EL92. EL92 is rare. I did not have it and neither did KO4MA, K6YK or NI7P/exN7SFI. I sent the card to Hector before I did any research on the mail issues. It turns out that mail from Cuba to the USA has been suspended by the Cuban government due to delays with our TSA screening incoming mail. Cuba feels that this delay is unacceptable. You would think that mail from the USA to Cuba would be refused also but that is not the case. Hector reported being very surprised to receive a card from me with an IRC in tact. The mail from the USA to Cuba works. Sending IRC's is acceptable. Green stamps would not be acceptable. Now the problem was how to return cards from Cuba to the USA. Hector has friends that live in the US but visit Cuba from time to time. He was finally able to send a number of cards back with his friend and they in turn mailed them to me for distribution. There are 75 QSL cards in the mail now from Hector, CO6CBF. Just two of them are in envelopes received by Hector, however, he reports that since that time, he has received several envelopes from the US. There were a few cards with incorrect callsigns. I did my best to determine the intended recipient but there may be some errors on my part. If you get a card addressed to you for a contact you made with Hector but your callsign is wrong, simply send a card to him and he will send one back via the above mentioned process. Be patient. Please remember that Hector's first language is not English. If he gets your callsign wrong, it is likely due to your not using phonetics. There is no need to discuss phonetics; just use them when making a QSO with Hector. The QSL cards are smaller than the standard QSL, 3-1/2 x 5-1/2. That is because the only printer that Hector has right now will not print that size. He is trying to fix another printer that will allow the full size card to be printed. Hector has shared his plans for future satellite grid operations. He will be trying to activate every grid in Cuba and may do some water grids as well. His biggest problem right now is a portable UHF radio. He has 2 meter portables but nothing to take on the road for UHF. It is unfortunate that we cannot send him a radio due to restrictions, however, other countries like Canada and Mexico could. If there is anyone outside the US that has a UHF portable that would cover the satellite band and would like to help Hector, please consider sending it to him. He is trying to build a uhf to 2meter downconverter that could be used with a 2m HT but the outcome is unknown. Anything you build for UHF receive has to be very sensitive as satellites run very low power. An HT would be the best solution. So if you are one of the lucky 73 who gets a QSL card from Hector, unsolicited, please take the time to make one out and return it to him. He is trying to get his VUCC and it's a lot more difficult for him than it is for us. An IRC always helps. Please do not send cards to me. Thank you Hector for getting on the birds from Cuba. You have given many of us a new grid as well as a new DXCC entity! 73, John K8YSE ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
