updates on equipment and band plan for the DXpedition. There will be a few
revisions to the band plan in the next few days but you will be able to see
what we will be aiming for.

I expect to be on from the EL08 / EL09 line during three afternoon passes
today: two AO27 passes (VOX at 20/1927Z and 2108Z) and one pass over SO50 which
rises in my area at 2047Z.
AO51 rises locally at 20/2258Z at which time I should be in EL07. The next pass
will be at 21/0037Z; we should
I actually worked AO-51 this afternoon during the 17:24 PDT pass (CN 89)
while driving home using my Yaesu VX-6R on 5 watts with a dual band mag mount.
Is that even possible? I heard contacts as far as DM, but only someone from CN
copied me. Even so, I thought it was quite amazing. I
I used a very similar arrange this week and had perfect and clear
contacts...you are right it is easy!!

With the power on AO-51 set to about 2 watts, it is easy to make contacts. I
am not sure if the Amsat team
will make this power setting normal. The power has not been set that high in
a long time.

Hi Jim,
The AO-51-Modes team has enjoyed supporting your Grid-xpedition!
It is likely that the V/S mode change will not occur on Sunday evening, but
rather on Monday morning or Monday evening (due to command station schedules).
So, you might get an extra few passes, if that is of benefit.
I occasionally work AO-51 using my mobile FT-857D and a VHF/UHF mobile
whip. I use the instruction manual procedure to set up the FT-857D for
Doppler.

I have for a number of years used a full wave loop. I ran the wire
inside a piece of black plastic water pipe which is about 2 inch
diameter. Close the loop with a T-connector made for this pipe and
bring the ends of the wire out the open T. Connect one end to center

Proper satellite names, not these senseless ZO-99 type designations.

Anybody know for sure if an Elk antenna is an acceptable carry on luggage item?
Disassembled, and rolled up in a bag, for example.
Or am I going to have to check it in?

SpaceTrack, where we should be encouraging people to get keps from, only use
the full proper names.
It's only the likes of Amsat, ARRL etc that replace them with the abbreviated
designations. Tracking software uses
whatever designation is in the keps.

Depends on the intended audience. AO-27 information is of no

I would NOT bet on it. I gave the tech test to a couple of TSA agents two
weeks ago.
I can call them and see what they say. Anything that you could stick

You just fill in the form and e-mail it.
Given a new bird, Space Track has the keps a couple of weeks before Amsat
bothers to include them and has much more choice.
