I have heard satellite paths extended by Aurora many times. It has very

Drew,
I believe your reference was to N4ZC.
There are some old (2002) posts on amsat-bb about his exploits:

Toyo san,
A few more ideas. It is easy to manually estimate ISS pass times every day
once you have heard a pass.
See: http://aprs.org/MobileLEOtracking.html
1) ISS over Japan today is between about 0830 to 1830 JST.
2) When you hear the first pass, then you will have additional passes every

The AO40 downlinh was obviously in 2401.300 MHz but my uplink was in

We use PacsatTools at OZ7SAT. It works best if you also use PB/PG for

Not wanting to reinvent the wheel. Anyone using the FT-8800R mobile for
satellites have any hints or sugestions, antennas etc. Email direct-thanks.
Hi,
I am using FT-8900R (practically same as '8800 plus 6m and 10m) for working
satellites
from my car.
For sat ops mobile, you will get the most success out of a 1/4 wave antenna on
a good ground plane. It will give you a hemispherical emission pattern so that
any direction in LOS is equally covered.

I'm thinking about purchasing a couple of new HTs for the XYL and I to
carry around but I'd like to make sure that whatever I get works well
with the birds.
Being that APRS is a must I narrowed down my choices to the Yaesu VX-8DR
and the Kenwood TH-D72A. If I were just using the radio for

One last idea Every D710 APRS mobile is automatically a digipeater by
default 1) by its own callsign, and 2) in support of TRACEn-N.
So if someone is in a disaster or otherwise out of range of the normal WIDEn-N
network, he can always send his packet via TRACE7-7 and he might

D-72 is full duplex, and the VX-8 is not. Easy decision if it were mine

I'll be QRV from DM11 for one more pass very shortly; this one is VO52
at 14/0229Z. It's a low pass here.
Then the next VO52 pass at 14/0402Z will be the only time I'll be on
from the next grid square south, DM10. After that, I'll be on FO29 from
DL19 at 14/0928Z.
I'll work up an op sked
Does anyone have their preamps in the shack as opposed to mast mount?
Any major disadvantage to having the preamps in the shack?
I just acquired two AR2 SPxxxVDG preamps and understand they are not
weatherproof and would need an enclosure to mount near antennas, which for
the time being is not
Yes I have done this. The feed line loss will essentially add to the noise
figure of the pre amp, which is not desirable, but in my case with a 70 foot
run of 9913F7 the arr gasfet preamplifier was still worth using on 70 cm.
