This is an uncut and lightly edited video I made mostly so Blair (the ham
who saw and joined me at the 8 minute mark) could see it. I normally only
upload highly edited videos (24, 32 or more hours of editing). Even though
it doesn't meet my normal standards I figured others besides Blair might
still be interested.

This is from the Christmas Eve AO-91 pass at 1753 UTC (2017-12-24). I was
just having a little fun for myself before I left Raleigh for Wilmington to
be with my parents for Christmas. About halfway through the pass, Blair,
another ham, saw me from his car in this shopping lot and came over, so I
did I did a little demo for him.
I was lucky because I recently made a cable for my Kenwood TM-V71 to pull
the audio off the DATA pin. This cable allowed me to get audio into my
recorder and play audio from the radio's speaker simultaneously. Normally I
plug a cable into the speaker out port but that disables the internal
speaker.
I made the cable originally so I could decode the Data Under Voice (DUV)
telemetry from AO-91 during commissioning, which helps the engineers
determine if the bird is okay. You need the unfiltered audio because the
data is all below 200 hz, which is normally filtered from speaker out.
Unfortunately, even using the supposedly unfiltered audio from the DATA pin
I still couldn't get the FoxTelem software to decode anything. But without
this cable if I wanted someone else to hear the audio I would have to hook
up a splitter in front of the recorder and run a second cable to an
external speaker. I couldn't have done that in time for Blair to hear, or
it would have been a lot of effort for not a lot of gain because the pass
might have been over before I got it all hooked up.
I also have another proper AO-91 video I'm making. It is from the second
daytime pass right after it was commissioned about a month ago (on the US
Thanksgiving holiday).
To those that celebrate it, Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays to everyone
else!
73, John Brier KG4AKV
P.S. I think my phone's tracking app was set for a location I was at the
previous day about 40 minutes from where I live, so it was off slightly as
far as timing and max elevation. The pass was actually about 72 degrees max
elevation, not 67 or whatever I told Blair, and when I thought the bird was
at 2 degrees during the last contact, it was actually about 4 or 5 degrees
elevation.

I added parts 1 and 2 of Domenico's I8CVS article from the 2007 AMSAT
Journal archive to the files section of the AMSAT North America group on
Facebook. The files are too big to upload to amsat.org without
administrator intervention.

Haha! I thought I might find you if I posted this. I would have asked for
your prefix on the pass but I figured it would be on the recording earlier
in the pass. Didn't search hard for you in it but I didn't hear you.

Domenico's article has been added to the AMSAT Station and Operating Hints
page:
https://www.amsat.org/station-and-operating-hints/
It is placed down on the page with the antenna articles. Look for "Domenico,
I8CVS (SK) published a two-part article in the AMSAT Journal about his
design for switching polarization on circularly polarized antennas. The PDF
files are available for download as Part1 (2MB) and Part2 (4MB)"

During the SAREX days we coordinated a QSO between the Shuttle and MIR on 2
meters. It was a bit involved due to Doppler and choosing a window on the
Shuttle for the antenna, but it did work. Operating via a VHF/UHF FM Hamsat
would be more involved, but could certainly work with the external antenna
on ISS and a satellite like AO-91. Complete frequency calculations would be
needed for the ISS astronaut.

Douglas,
No, this hasn't happened - but not from a lack of trying.
In 2006, at the very end of Bill McArthur's ISS tour, there was an effort to
see if Bill could make a QSO via AO-51. Bill had already completed WAS, WAC,
and DXCC working hams around the world, and this was considered the last big
thing he could do from the ISS radio. Time was tight, and probably the
biggest reason why this didn't work. Instructions were sent up to the ISS,
and stations were recruited on the ground in locations compatible with both
available AO-51 passes and Bill's available time. Bill was heard through
AO-51, but no QSOs were made.
I am not aware if there have been other attempts since 2006 for an ISS
crewmember to work an amateur satellite from the ISS. Maybe if Doug Wheelock
can get another ISS tour, this could be tried again.
IIRC crewmembers that used the ISS cross-band repeater to work stations on
the ground are not using a different radio to work through the ISS repeater.
Since the cross-band repeater was a function of the Kenwood dual-band mobile
transceivers, the crews would use the microphone and speaker on that radio
to work stations. Really no different than if the cross-band repeater
function on those radios is turned off, or if the crews used the GE/Ericsson
HTs to work stations.

Hi Folks,
I have recently built up a 3 Element 2M yagi antenna from a some old TV
antenna parts in my junk box.
It seems to work well on AO-91.
If anyone is interested, the details are here:

Good Morning folks, After an extended hiatus, (Like 15 years) I'm back.
Looking at getting the shack set back up for the birds, and was wondering if
anyone here was using the WIMO X-Quad antennas. They look pretty
impressive for their size, and I was thinking about putting a pair of them
on a split Yaesu 5500 over top of my TA-33 on the tower.
Just wondering what you guys thought of them.
Thanks,
Dave
