Just a short time ago after I moved into a new shack, I operated for a
month with an Elk at 15 degrees on a tripod. Armstrong rotor. I worked
all the current satellites right up through the first week we had AO-73's
transponder available.
Pay close attention to comments WB4APR has made about set
Hi Joel,
Welcome back..
I don't know much, but I do know that the 847 and SATPC32 seems to work well
as a combo based on the comments here.
On the antenna issue, I suspect the 'turnstiles' may not do what you want.
In a separate post, I have asked Bob Bruninga to comment on the fixed el
issue wh
I'm kind of looking for an update from Bob, but can't find his email right
now...
But the question is, in view of what appears to be some renewed interest in
working the new cube sats, et al, is asking Bob to comment on his earlier
thoughts on using antennae at fixed elevations. For me, I'm using
Hello Mark,
Yes, here in Europe we use to give the complete locator with the six
positions and is commonly done by the sats operators, so if you have a
smartphone you can find a lot of apps that can show you the complete
locator based on the integrated gps of the device. If you visit this page
it appears that the conference *AMSAT* on Echolink is no longer working.
you can still listen to the houston amsat net from our internet stream
at http://www.amsatnet.com
scroll down a bit on the main page.

For whatever reason, I have gotten interested in amateur satellites
again after being away for almost 10 years.
I've gone through the last two months in the archives and I have a
couple of things:
1. I saw some questions about the the K3. I have the K3 and the KX3 and
do not know of a satell

Thanks Nico, PA0DLO for pointing me in the rigth direction. I agree with you

Thanks, Fran, for the information. I thought EA4/ was more correct, based
on what I've been reading. And the grids quare information is helpful.
In the summer of 2012 I was fortunate to represent AMSAT-NA at AMSAT-UK
Colloquium and got to operate the GB4FUN station on the air. As I
remember, yo

Hello Mark and all the people of the list,
I will be nice to hear you on the sats! Madrid is on zone 4 so your call be
more accurate EA4/N8MH and if you're in Madrid your locator will be around
IN80.
Hope to work you on every sat!
Regards from Salamanca, Spain!

All,
Further doppler measurements show that TshepisoSat (aka ZACube 1) is
object 39417 (2013-066B) and AMSAT-OSCAR 73 (aka FUNCube 1) is object
39444 (2013-066AE). Therefore HiNCube must be object 39445 (2013-066AF).
It is not easy to get a good doppler curve with many Cubesats because of

It is possible that I will be QRV from Madrid, Spain on FO-29, VO-52,

Since I decided not to change my name, Sharon decided to change her name.
Since she is a devoted amateur radio operator, she chose to change her
name to match her call sign. In a civil (but awesome) ceremony of nuptial
induced name changing, she became Sharon Moore McGwier and continues to be
