I noticed today that SATPC32 failed on downloading keps from AMSAT.
I found the URL had changed to
http://ww2.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasa.all
(www was changed to ww2)
Is this a permanent change? Maybe this was in response to the rebuild
post hack?

Mike,
You are most likely right about the cause. I will check with the folks doing
the rebuild about the
duration. Thanks for reporting this.

Tnx Alan. It's a pretty simple change to Celestrak.SQF in SatPC32 to get
back on track.

Why don’t we see simple ¼ wave 75 ohm lines used as a first step in
matching a 140 Ohm Helix to 50 ohms?
The ¼ wave line would give an easy 112 ohms and then it shouldn’t be that
hard to do a little additional construction matching to get to 140?
(building a 2.4 GHz pop-out helix that
And don't forget to change it in all of your configurations. I had to change
it at 5 different locations. Now all is again well in kb2m/satpc32 land...

Anyone using the PocketSat3 App for Iphone etc.., will likely have to do the
same thing.
Import Data Edit - Tap AMSAT.org's Keps (do not tap the Red X)
- Tap the URL Field, Change WWW to WW2 in the URL Field - Tap Done x2
then try the Import Data feature again.

Are you looking for a good excuse to visit the 2013 AMSAT Symposium in Houston?
It is with great pleasure that I announce the return of Hector
Martinez, CO6CBF, to the AMSAT Symposium. Last year, Hector’s
presentation on “Cuban style” satellite operation was well-received by
the attendees.

For sale is my Yaesu FT-736R. This rig is a gem and you'll be hard pressed to
find a cleaner one that hasn't been stripped down to sell the parts
individually at a higher price. Included is:
Yaesu FT 736R with 6 meter, 2 meter, 1.25 meter, and 70cm band modules
installed and all working at

In my limited experience, it's easier to diddle around with a strip of
brass or copper at the feed end of the Helix..
For example:

ww2 addresses are all temporary. For the last couple of weeks, keps
have been served from the future home server of www.amsat.org.
I have turned off the redirect

In addition to being easier for my practically non-existent construction

I was watching the Canadian Space Agencies BROLL video of the CASSIOPE
satellite due to launch in a few days and noticed a neat antenna. The video
link below starts at the appropriate point in the video (feel free to watch
the whole video too). For what looks like it is essentially steel tape

I used a tab matching method taught to me by Joe, K0VTY. Just a strip of
copper following the first 90* of the helix. Adjust the distance to the wire
for min. SWR. This was for L band antennas. Miss L S stuff on satellites,
and, you know.
