Hi Luc:
Your question was:
Why they don't put the ISS cross band repeater on?
Answer:
I assume you are referring to the Kenwood TM-D700 radio, when it is in
Cross-Band mode.
The TM-D700 is a good radio, but it was never designed to support the duty
cycle required by a full time Cross-Band
Dear AMSAT fellows,
recently I got some additional interesting information and pictures
especially on the early AMSAT satellites and added them to the
Sounds from Space collection at www.dd1us.de.
Please have a look and hopefully enjoy it.
I am still missing any recordings of the early AMSAT

Hi AMSATs,
I wonder if there is any satellite organisation or satellite (cubesat)group
with a booth at the China Ham Radio in Shanghai (3-5 April) ?
My plan is to be there to present my small linear transponder design like I did
at the Tokyo Ham Fair.
However, the booths are quiet big (3m x 3m

Hi Ryan,
At first I ran my Alfa Spid off the shack 13.8V D.C. supply. I also got flicker
plus some anomalous readings.
I put this down to voltage drops on my power supply.
You might be having a similar experience as under load from the Spid motors
your car battery may not be giving 12 volts.
Mark,
I see your point, my index finger needs therapy from the repeated delete
activity. I can only comment that occasionally their is some insight,
knowledge point of view that is fresh and worth keeping, and for that I
remain. I believe if a volunteer came forward to add a searchable archive

Hi John,
Are you using this rotor system for an array of antennas
or a big dish? If a dish, how large? I noticed their rotors at
Visalia last year. But didn't ask the reps their thoughts
about turning a 12 to 16 foot dish. I know there are two
versions, I think one is heavy duty. Not sure
It's ironic that someone complains on the internet, about using the internet,
instead of radio!

Hi Mark,
I certainly understand your decision. Another solution you may consider,
if your email client supports it, is to place the regular trolls on your
'block sender list'. You can also filter some key words in incoming message

Probably going to take down the AO-10 antennas here and put up something
much simpler such as your Lindenblads or a couple of TPM's. The AO-10 setup
is way overkill for what is up there and I'd rather use my tower for
something other than satellites.
Good luck with
It's worked beautifully the last 3 or 4 passes, so I'm not sure what difficulty
you are having, Luc.
We do sometimes change to digital mode (9600 packet) in order to download
telemetry. Maybe you were hearing that?

On the previous pass, I only heard ONE short burst of modulation, otherwise it
was a carrier.
The carrier was LOUD.

Endeavour is scheduled to launch very early on Sunday morning - on what will be
the first of a final five planned shuttle missions before the shuttle program
is retired.
CNN begins live coverage at 4:30AM Eastern for the anticipated 4:39AM launch.
And NASA TV, of course, is running now.

I never thought that watching an AO-40 demo in the parking lot of the Dayton
Hamvention could be informative but also humorous. I remember it very well,
and it's good to know you still have that humor.

Thanks to all who answered my (incomplete) email.
It is clear to me now that my Kenpro 5400-A, which has an external

After the 2 feet of snow melts, I will be refurbishing the rotator where
needed. I am hoping this and the antenna
Jon Bloom and the ARRL labs did a great job with the BCR. While we are
