Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
All,
Weather permitting, please be looking for K2BSA/5 on SO-50 Tuesday evening,
September 5, 7:11P CDT (9/6 0011Z) as we demonstrate amateur radio
satellite communications to a Scout troop in the DFW Metroplex, EM12.
Control operator for the pass will be Eagle Scout Alexander Pritchard,
KG5GKQ. Please look out for the K2BSA/5 call and give us a shout and maybe
stoke some excitement to these young people. This is a 60+ degree pass to
the east so almost all of the US should be in the footprint.
Since Alexander has never actually done the satellite thing with himself as
the lead, we are going to do a practice run tonight 9/4 on a 6:45P (2345Z)
SO-50 pass and I will have him use his own call on this one, KG5GKQ. Be
patient with the guy as he will be nervous I am sure. This is a lower
elevation for us, 22 degrees to the east so the QRM might be heavy. We will
be running a little power, probably 25 watts which should help.
Look for us on the air for these two passes and give a shout to the
respective calls. Alexander and the Scouts present will appreciate it.

I have an Icom AG-35 435 Mhz preamp that has become excess to my needs. I
recently replaced the device and I'll throw in a spare in case you do what
I did and pop it! It comes in the original box and with the schematic just
in case :) I'd like $125 for it and I'll pay shipping. Paypal is fine but I
do not want to sell internationally.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Hi everyone!
For the past few days, with no changes to my setup, I am receiving a LOT
more 2m packets from PSAT and it seems to be receiving me a lot better as
well.
Since I?m fairly new to all this, I was just wondering if this has happened
periodically in the past? Depending on ??? factors, does the digipeater on
that particular satellite hear & transmit better in some kind of cycle?
Oh, and it?s not just me... numerous call signs are showing up on the
website as successful digipeats.
Thanks!

North Carolina?
Message-ID:
<CAGdEbNbGQSzE1jMEt=6Jv41hu==m2LdieMkeyjac+c+armsChA@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
I've done a club presentation (and attempted demo) on satellites at one
club in western-central NC this year, and have another one scheduled in
about 10 days at a second club (and currently working out the logistics for
a third club in western NC in October).
At the Shelby NC Hamfest two days ago, I was approached by a member of
still another club - and was introduced to someone else from yet another
club - about doing satellite presentations for those clubs - no time table,
could even be done next year..
Both of the latter are in the Charlotte area; one meets on the first Monday
night of each month, and the other on the third Monday night.
I'm willing to do both, but I was wondering if there was someone more
centrally located in NC who might want to pick up the gauntlet! I'm near
Asheville; one of them is at best 2 hours away, and the other 2.5-2.75
hours away.
I've been doing these as a Satellite 101 course, and I'll be glad to share
with you the documents I've created (which you are free to modify); one
being a short Word document on how/where to listen (and track) the FM birds
and ISS, and an approximately 25 slide PowerPoint giving more background
and discussing transmitting to both FM/ISS and the analog birds.
So, if you're in central NC and want to help spread the word, please
contact me off-list. I really would appreciate the help!
