[amsat-bb] Hawaii to VK/ZL qso?
I occasionally have passes where I can copy myself when the footprint of either FO-29 or A-07 shows some coverage to extreme North East Australia and the North Island of New Zealand, but I've never heard any signals from there. Are there any operators who would like to try a QSO? 73 and Aloha de Tom, NH6Y ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Hawaii on AO-7
Just worked Tom / NH6Y (in BL10) again this evening on AO-7 (@ 0108Z). He had a good signal. He plans to be active on AO-7 and FO-29 and occasionally on VO-52. 73 Glenn / AA5PK ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Hawaii Footprints
Aloha I hope to be on the FO-29 pass at 2243Z and AO27 at 2308Z grandchildren precluding. As aforementioned my home QTH allows only the western region and Alaska on these passes. Hopefully mobile soon!!! 73 de robert, NH7WN ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

[amsat-bb] Hawaii Trip March 22 - April 4th, 2012
Aloha fellow satellite operators, I am happy to announce that I will be traveling to Hawaii on March 21st and plan to stay on the Big Island and Oahu for two weeks. My trip is a primarily a scuba diving and sightseeing trip with my girlfriend, which means ham radio will be a secondary activity unlike my trip to Kauai in 2010 when I made a big effort to activate BL02 with mixed results. I will be bringing a limited amount of satellite gear as I am already loaded with HF equipment and Scuba gear. I will try to get on the satellites as often as my schedule permits within our vacation activities. My primary focus will be on FO-29, VO-52 and AO-7 Mode B passes. I may try to get on SO-50 and AO-27, but the passes on those satellites are short and I will be focusing less on those satellites. Here are the current travel plans: March 21st: Fly Chicago to LAX, LAX to Honolulu, Honolulu to Hilo; arrive late evening. March 22nd to March 25th: I will be South of Hilo in BK29nn by the water front. This will be the best time to work stations past central CONUS, perhaps as far East as Florida. Opportunities to work VE, KL and some RU/UA stations will also be possible. Contacts with Japan may be possible but I suspect I will have blockage from the Mauna Kea Volcano on the Western passes. I will know more once I am in Hilo. March 26th through April 1st: I will be in Kailua-Kona in BK29an at a local resort (March 26/28th) and I will be moving further North to BK29ao to a condo (March 29th/ April 1st). This will be the best opportunity to work Japan on FO-29. Based on some early pass evaluations, I see some slim opportunities of working Northern New Zealand and Eastern Australia (Brisbane/Gold Coast area) on AO-7. There may be some opportunities to work some West Coast stations on FO-29, VO-52 and AO-7 on higher elevation passes. There are two 13,000 ft. Volcanoes blocking the Eastern passes and this will create some logistical issues. There may be a small chance I can make it over BK19xp. April 2nd through April 4th: I will on Oahu Waikiki beach in BL11cg. I expect limited operating due to sightseeing activities and some blockage from the local mountain range. I have already had numerous sked requests. I cannot guarantee that I will be on a specific pass as this will be determined by my activities schedule, the weather and the anticipated pile-ups, as I am operating portable. I encourage you to stay tuned via AMSAT BB for schedule updates. I also recommend signing up to my Twitter feed @AA5UK. I will also be updating my QRZ.com page in the coming weeks with additional information. I know activities on satellite from KH6 have been low and there is great demand for Hawaii for WAS awards. Collectively we will work together and get as many contacts in our logs as possible. I highly encourage operators that are new to working the linear satellites to start learning to operate on SSB now. Please do not wait until the last minute to understand the subtleties of operating SSB. It takes some skill and technical knowhow to properly operate this mode. I plan to operate using SatPC but if needed I will operate Doppler manually. Once we get closer to my trip, I will post some additional information and operating suggestions that I have learned over many years of operating from Hawaii and the Cayman Islands. I encourage US and DX operators to send me a note (see email address at QRZ.com) so I know you need to work me for a WAS award or a DX contact. I also encourage any interested RU, ZL and VK stations to contact me directly should a try on AO-7 be of interest. I will make an effort to work Japan on FO-29 knowing the preferred local operating hours. Stay tuned for additional information in the coming weeks.

[amsat-bb] Hawaii Command Station for PCSAT-1
We are again in need of a quality PCSAT command station in Hawaii. This is for our Arctic Buoy experiment at the North pole! (off Barrow Alaska). The problem is that the ISS digipeater only gets gets 1.5 degree above the Horizon in Barrow. Probably won't work. Fortunately, PCSAT-1 overflies the Arctic area 5 times a day listening on 145.825. Unfortunately, the Buoy is set to digi via ARISS and will not digi via PCSAT-1 unless the PCSAT-1 alias is commanded to match the ISS alias of ARISS. This is a fundamental design of PCSAT, but when we set the ARISS digipeater alias, it only lasts until the next eclipse 30 minutes later, and so this command will have to be sent from Hawaii on EVERY pass where we want to check on the health of the Buoy. So we also need to train a Hawaii command station. This will -not- be a daily task. Just occasionally when time permits to allow us to get back one health-packet from the Buoy every now and then. If there is anyone fully conversant with conventional packet and Kantronics remote-logon and remote control of a KPC TNC, and is interested in this project, let us know.

[amsat-bb] Hawaii for WAS
Still looking for someone in Hawaii to work for my last state for satellite WAS. From EN41 either AO7 or FO29 would have to be used to make contact. While FO29 is operation it might be the better choice as it is quite a bit easier to work at low elevations and it in my opinion is easier to work portable. If anyone could help that would be great! 73 Wyatt AC0RA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

Hey Kevin, A real stretch was working Hawaii from Alberta. I worked Richard WH6FC on AO51, from my mobile, with Richard using a Arrow with his handheld. He also has a nice QSL card. The pass was a minute and a half, and a degree or so of elevation. Gotta love it! Jerry VE6AB Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Hawaii AO27 low pass
Aloha All Short notice, I realize. However I thought I'd give the next pass in Hawaii's footprint a try at less than 3.0 deg. at about 2226Z (an hour from now) AO-27 will be at 2.7 deg max. el. I will be at Sandy Beach Park aiming east with Arrow and VX7R. robert, NH7WN BL11, Hawaii ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Hawaii AO-51 pass today
Aloha all AO-51 flies by Hawaii at a max. el. of 4 degs at 0203Z this afternoon. In order to spot the bird I will have to head to the beach but it might be worth it! The footprint will cover the entire western U.S., extending to Hawaii. My intent is to be on the air. Hope to hear the mainland. 73 de robert NH7WN, Honolulu ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Hawaii and AO51
Aloha All Very late notice!! BUT, I will give 51 a try on the next pass at 0159Z (AOS). Max el. here is 4 deg. and the footprint should cover as far east as Colorado. Will QRP it with Arrow and HT after traveling to the easternly beach area of Oahu. Hope to year you. 73 de robert NH7WN BL11cg, Honolulu ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Hawaii SSTV
Aloha All On the 0226Z AO51 pass today, I attempted to xmit QRP SSTV (2.5 W) to WH6BIE 5000 miles round trip back to Hawaii (4 deg max. el) Surprisingly, prior to my SSTV xmit, I picked up several new stations but as my digital recorder was in the xmit position and my hands full with my Arrow, HT, and digital recorder I was unable to log the calls received (I recall most QTHs) Also, if I happened to "step" on anyone with the SSTV xmission my apologies! WH6BIE was the last station I heard prior to my image xmit and the frequency appeared quiet at that point. If anyone happened to copy or hear the SSTV I would be enjoy hearing about. 73 to all.

[amsat-bb] Hawaii AO-51 QSO
Aloha All For all those that called out to me this afternoon. Mahalo. The AO51 easterly at 0231Z had a maximum elevation of 1.6 degrees here. I was able to hear Patrick (WD9EWK) barely. A review of the audio tape clearly shows WB7QXU also calling (I just couldn't make out Michael at the time). Operator error took my downlink off frequency for awhile. Today's pass indicates that AO51 is doable at less than 2 degs max. el. Aloha and many tnx! We'll have to try this agn soon. 73. Respectfully robert NH7WN in Honolulu ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Hawaii BL11 on AO51 today?
Aloha All I've noticed that AO-51 will have a maximum elevation of 2 degrees on todays "easterly" Hawaiian pass. The footprint will extend from Honolulu to near the western border of Iowa. To date, my "longest" AO-51 QSO has been with K7ULS near Eden, Utah. This may be an opportunity to extend that distance. I am willing to give it a try. The pass "over" Hawaii will be from 0232Z to 0236Z today. I should be at the beach with my Arrow and D700 shortly before that (5 Watts). At minimum, I will get to see some nice sceney on the way to the beach HIHI. Hope to hear you. Aloha and 73, de robert NH7WN in Honolulu. ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
