I have been informed:
The trans-atlantic balloon attempt, PBH-15, has been postponed until next week
due to unfavorable flight predictions and some last minute testing issues.
They will now be attempting to launch PBH-15 sometime next week (4/27-4/29).
Latest info can always be found on
I will be down at KSC to cover Endeavour's last launch from the press site
next week, and I was just wondering if any hams on the list would be making
the trip down to the cape? The white house announced yesterday that POTUS
will be attending this launch, so security may be interesting.
I'll be
There's a good bunch of hams in the area that cover just about all of the Cape
launches and rebroadcast the countdown nets on a local repeater.
You can get the skinny at http://www.lisats.org/.
I was able to view a shuttle launch a while back from next to the VAB, and had

Hello AO-51 users,
As you have noticed, AO-51 has recently experienced a few shutdowns
due to a low battery voltage trip. This is because of increasing
eclipses (now at 20 mins per orbit and increasing), poor sun angles
(still getting worse), and a weak battery.
We are now using the 67 Hz PL

I will try to be QRV on AO7 in mode (A) tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon

This is a great experiment for me because I will be trying my homemade setup.
Thank you and 73

Hello,
Just worked AO-51 without 67Hz tone. I noticed that the carrier drops
out sometimes. I guess you activate the carrier again with subtone but
i'm not sure.

Thanks Eric. You are correct. In this newer PL
Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry, here and directly. I found AOS.exe,
and
the satellite scripting (red, blue, yellow orbit icon) in NOVA.
I am pretty embarrassed about the latter, since I have owned NOVA for a long
time

I will be there. Got a pass from my senator. My second launch! (The first
was STS-1!) And yeah, I was a bit unhappy to see that the President will be
there, mainly because of security and also taking up space in the best spots
:-)
Thanks for the repeater and net info too.

Hi Everyone,
Early next week (April 25th) I'll be taking my brother on a tour of
the remote backroads of Death Valley National Park, and I'll bring my
portable satellite station along. This will primarily be a camping
and sightseeing trip, but I'll try to be on a number of
morning/evening passes
Hello
Isamel XE1AY (DK79) will be in the FM Sats like 4A0IARU, if someone wants that
special Call, he will be QRP with FT-60R and Arrow II antenna.
Good luck

As mentioned previously, the LISATS repeater on 146.940 does a good job of
re-transmitting audio during a launch. I believe they come on an hour or two
before launch time, and it's a great place to listen.
Also give a holler on our 442.400 repeater http://k4rpt.com/ we are south

All,
My plan is to activate DN75 on 4/22/2011Z by around 0100Z. I will
travel to DN85 later in the day 4/22Z and return to DN75 for an overnight
stay. I will operate from DN75 on some morning passes 4/23/2011Z.I will be
returning home by around 0100Z on 4/24/2011Z.
Good to see another successful launch by ISRO yesterday. Youthsat and two
others went into a 800km orbit.

Wow, Dave, did you know that they close down DVNP after Easter for
the rest of the summer? It can reach +125F or higher at Easter so be
prepared with lots of water. I loved to visit Bodie and Scottie's
Castle. I lived in Barstow 1971-1976. The desert was my playground
with my old 66 GMC
Thanks for posting this...I'm happy that they had a PSLV success after
several problems. I assume this is their last Russian upper stage, and not
the indigenous one that they are developing. Things are a little tight for
them with their upper stage inventory...

I didn't know they close down DVNP after Easter. I do know that the Furnace
Creek Golf Course is open year 'round and you can have a round of golf in
July on one of the cool 127 degree days. I believe proof of a will and
testament is required before starting the round. :-)
As for Mono Lake.

Thank you for keeping us up to date, Lou.
Is it a surprise that the battery was low? It appears (from Wikipedia) that
silver zinc batteries have a negligible self-discharge rate. If the
ARISSat-1 switches are off, should there be any drain? (I know from
previous updates that it is so far

My vote would be RG-188A/U. See my AMSAT-IARU Link Model Rev 2.4.3; Line
Loss Tools and Tables Tab; First entry. Use the calculator there to get
losses at various frequencies. It's PTFE wrapped and there are SMA and SMC
connectors made for it. Or you can solder it directly to the
Indeed congradulations! However with 92kg at 800km that bird will be up for
