Hello all.
We had an anomaly on the web and mail server yesterday which affected web
performance between 10:30 UTC and 17:10 UTC. Additionally, mail was
slowed down between 10:30 UTC the 17th and 06:40 UTC today the 18th. I do
not believe any mail was lost.

Can we do better than SSB voice with +10 dB SNR in 2500 Hz for a net data
speed of 20* bits/second* and which requires 31 dB Eb/N0?
In the AMSAT journal you are about to receive and at ARRL/TAPR DCC,
Michelle Thompson, W5NYV and I answer this question to the best of our
ability.

After some additional hours of messing around, I HAVE gotten the VSPE
splitter to work. However, it is maxed out at 9600 baud. Anything faster and
it will start to hiccup! In most instances for CI-V, that is fast enough
anyway.

Mark,
It has worked perfectly for me on a Win 7 64 bit system. In fact it has
worked when two others I tried did not. I'm not at my shack QTH now but if
you still have issues tomorrow I'd be happy to share my notes and config.
Sounds like that may not help but from experience I must say Eterlogic VSPE
is definitely up to the task.

Anyone else having problems downloading keps from within SATPC32 from

Hello:
This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, the 20th and 21st, is International
Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend. We will use the W2GSB callsign, with QSL
information listed on the GSBARC site.
As usual, GSBARC will be setting up two HF radio stations and a satellite
station at the Fire Island Lighthouse. .
In addition, since we are at the Fire Island National Seashore, FN30, we
will be operating as a National Parks on the Air ( NPOTA #SS07). station.
We will have the capability to operate on all the available satellites, look
forward to working you, beginning with SO-50, 14:08 U.

Hello
?
I came up on this two sites with the same pictures of feeding a cross yagi,
but one says RHCP and the other one says LHCP:
http://www.qsl.net/sv1bsx/antenna-pol/polarization.html ?: on the end off
the page there are to pictures from a cross yagi, the last one LHCP and the
previous one?above it RHCP. The center conductor (+) is connected to the
upperside at the rear dipole and on the left side at the front dipole.? it
is CCW when you look from behind, and the autor says RHCP.
?
Now look at this one:
http://www.dg7ybn.de/Building/xpol.htm : look at picture (2) by left hand
circ pol. Assume you turn the antenna 45? clockwise and you will get the
same picture as the one mentioned above(SV1BSX). This one also?looks CCW
from behind and the autor says LHCP.
?
?
It is confusing when building home made antennas. I think both are LHCP...

I was having issues yesterday when the AMSAT.org website was down, but that
was because I was accessing things via HTTP://. When I changed all
references to FTP:, everything worked just fine.
I did confirm that SATPC32 is working fine this morning with the HTTP
references.

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more
information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,
