March, 24 March to 03 April, 13 April to 23 April 2011. It is
expected to switch-on again 04 May until 14 May.
Excellent
I should know the answer to this one. I am looking at the satellite data
on SO-50. How many miles up in orbit is it from the ground (approx).
Trying to explain to a non-ham how far away the satellite is.

About 700km above the earth, or 435 miles. Your range will vary, of
course (it's 700km above you only during a 90 pass! other times, it's
more...)
That's less than the distance between Savannah, GA and Miami, FL!

One of the ways to look at the voice codec is as a capacitor, amplifier or
some other component of you circuit design. Sure, it's single source, but if
you are careful about how you put it in, you can provide a switched circuit,
daughter board or some other path to alternative codecs. It just
Hi Ron,
Use a tracking program to help explain this. The altitude/height for SO-59
varies between 615-704 km above the earth because of the orbit. The range
depends upon the maximum elevation that the satellite reaches on each pass.
At the beginning of a pass for SO-50 the range is around

NICK ... As soon as I pointed my Elk at AO-51 ... I killed it ...
A pro-Arrow argument if I've ever heard one ... (grin)
But seriously ... Think I wasn't a little trepidatious the first time I
activated SO-50? I mean,
what if I didn't do it right? Gawd, it would crash right here in my koi pond

Hi John!
There are 75 QSL cards in the mail now from Hector, CO6CBF. Just
two of them are in envelopes received by Hector, however, he reports
that since that time, he has received several envelopes from the US.
My CO6CBF QSL card and SASE arrived at my PO box today. The

Need to ask something, may be silly to some:
- The ARRL can give an account of LoTW for Hector ...?
or hector can create ..? is it possible ..?
That would be the best solution for him, and also find a QSL manager.
Thanks if anyone can answer the first question.

I am away from home for 20 days, Hector informed me that sent a
QSL card to me when I go home I know if I get the mail. then I will

You might want to check those numbers, I believe the second might be a
common model 130001 downconverter. I am working on an article showing how to
modify the local oscillator and to use the FB506 prescaler as part of a 10
Hz to 2.8 GHz frequency counter.

It was great to receive Hector's very nice QSL card in the mail today!
I have started uploading my contacts to LOTW for the benefit of those that
use it. However, it is of no use to me because:
