We are 24 hours away from our live dayton hamvention broadcast. Help us spread
the word to
anyone interested.?
I have been interested in AMSAT operation for awhile but have not even
began to put together a station for satellite work. I will be attending the
Dayton Hamvention this weekend, and in doing so I am hoping to learn enough
about satellite work to get on the air over the next few weeks.

Steve,
My recommendation is that you attend at least one of the satellite demos for an
FM satellite (AO-27 or SO-50) *and* an analog satellite (AO-7, FO-29, or
VO-52). The techniques and contacts are different for FM and SSB; you will
learn from both types of contacts. Note that the ISS and

collaborated and
plugged AMSAT for our Learning Curve - Working the Birds article.

Without a single doubt, spend as much time out in the demo area with Keith and
crew.

Hi all.
I am trying to determine an FM uplink frequency in L band which is suitable for
most countries.
As I understand it, 1269 is the traditional frequency of choice, but with
Galileo now being deployed and some local EIRP restrictions here in Europe,
that may no longer be the best
Amen to this, Steve (both Steves actually ;) )
This year, we have a clear focus on trying to get youth and first time
operators ON THE AIR. We want you to come to the microphone and make
a contact!!Between passes, there is plenty of time for equipment
review, discussions, inspections, etc.
Steve,
The answer to your questions is YES. For starting out, as Drew suggested,
see as many passes worked in the demo area as you can. Likewise, at the
AMSAT booth you can pick up some good intro books, and talk about software,
hardware, etc with experienced operators. If everybody seems too
The May 14, 2012 edition of the UK Metro newspaper carried a story by Ben
Gilliland on pages 26-27 about CubeSats.

Two items on the Harbor freight weekly newspaper ad jumped out at me today ...
The first is one of those jump starter batteries in a plastic case with
handle, jumper cables, meter, et al. This one is probably a 10-12AH sealed lead
acid one. Its case is not sonic welded - so we can get inside

You would be amazed at how little power a solar panel gets in the classroom or
the lab.
I measure it. It is one half of one percent of full sun (0.5%). Practically
nothing. Here are two examples:
1) We have a flight unit of the original TRANSIT satellite in our sun lit
wall-of-glass
Amazing how the press present things. This from the UK newspaper the Daily
Mail, I think they may be refering to the QB50 project https://www.qb50.eu/ :

We are having some issues with the AMSAT Store. We will be closing the AMSAT
Store while we are fixing these issues.
Please don’t use the AMSAT Store until you get a post on the BB from Gould,

Here is a video demonstrating a feature I hoped to turn into a
SatPC32 Add-On. It is actually quite interesting and I think
it would be quite useful when giving demos.
The video is HD and looks best viewed full screen in 720p.

Hi Gang,
Has anyone been successful getting the AMSAT predictions on their Kindle?
Mine may be one of the first and as such the inner workings may be too
experimental but i do get some really funky results- the pass page comes up,
looks genuine, but a lot of the data is really off the wall-
I do not have an answer for you, but which Kindle product version are
you using?
