[amsat-bb] Shuttle - ISS Viewing

What a marvelous sight this evening at 8:40PM PDT: the Shuttle followed by the ISS streaking across the WSW sky, both easily viewed at the same time for several minutes. Awesome ... and I'm not easily awed (grin). Clint Bradford, K6LCS 909-241-7666 ___

Although "Space Communicators Club" sounds like a great name, how confusing might this be with the "AMSAT Communicators Club" award? Maybe we (AMSAT) could offer the "AMSAT Communicators Club" award when the participating school makes their first contact with their satellite. Just thinking out

I have a Yaesu G-5400B and the elevation side of the control box seems to have stopped working. The actual elevation rotor has also stopped responding as well. I hooked up a working elevation rotor to test and didn't get any response out of it. Has anyone experienced this or know of something I sho

Dear Peter, The TS2000 can do almost anything one can dream of. As a result, it has many menu settings (SW). For the TNC are also many settings in the menu (number 50). 50A Packet filter bandwidth 50B AF input level for Packet 50C MAIN band AF output level for packet 50D SUB band AF output level

I think it's already there - a SDR soft-rock receiver, pre-amp probably needed but cost ~$100 if you build yourself. A few lines of code and you're in business. Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com - Original Message - From: "john heath" > > With potential worldwide participat

Jan, I and a regular group of operators in the western US are regularly on V0-52, FO-29 and AO-7, down to very low elevations. But I would ask the same question as you. I have a fairly good signal into these sats and have never even heard any stations outside of Canada, US or Mexico. That is

Hola Paulo, We must continue to educate them, in my opinion. Here in the USA, on the FM satellites, a couple of things continue to manifest themselves on passes I listen to and/or try to work. 1 - The most egregious involves operators who transmit just because their station is in the footprint

Hi, After almost a year off the air, I tried a few minutes ago a contact in AO-27. Things didn't change since my last QSO's. Stations keep making satellite contacts as they were using repeaters. The QSO rate is so low that I wish I stayed in the cool environment of my office instead of being insid

Hey Adrian, Great news! I hope you will be able to work AO-7 because she is the only satellite with a footprint big enough to stretch to EM84. If not, I'm confident that plenty of operators in the western U.S. will be excited to have you active from Hawaii on the FM satellites. Rest assured .
