It was a team effort. While there is never a "good" time for an outage,
both Chris and I were occupied with paying gigs during the day so it was
particularly bad. I was able to free up some disk space and get some
services running during the few minutes I was able to carve out of my day,
but in my haste to free up space I broke the database. Thanks to everyone
for your patience.
Given concurrent server failures on both sides of the Atlantic, the blame
clearly falls on telemetry gremlins.

That would be AO-13. The curious can see James Miller's article at:
http://www.amsat.org/articles/g3ruh/114.html
Very sad to hear of Kozai's death. It is certainly a familiar name to
students of orbital dynamics.

Hello together,
Indeed we are all very excited about the upcoming Es?hail-2? satellite,
which includes the first geostationary AMSAT P4-A transponder !
I would like to remind that we should be more patient regarding the
launch date and in particular we should only refer to official and
original sources.
Recent citation from unknown sources are creating more confusion in our
community and are also not really helpful.
Be assured that the Qatar Satellite Company will announce the launch
date as soon as possible when confirmed by SpaceX.
I have been asked and would also like to advise the correct brand name
and the way it's written whenever articles are written and published
about *Es?hailSat.*
The owner of the satellite and it's*company name* is *Qatar Satellite
Company*
*Brand name* is *Es?hailSat*
Satellite names are*Es?hail-1* and soon to be launched *Es?hail-2
*The brand and satellites names are to be written the way it is written
above, i.e.
-? brand name - capital E, apostrophe after the first ?s? and second ?S?
in capital
-? satellite name - capital E, apostrophe after ?s? and hyphen before
the number
(no other alphabet in caps, no gaps between alphabets and/or punctuation
and definitely not in all caps)
Thanks to everyone for your support and understanding...
Exciting times are ahead!
best wishes
Peter Guelzow, DB2OS

I don't use a tripod (hand hold), but I like having a counter-weight
"pommel" on the end of the Arrow.
I found these at a local flea:
https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/product/HCMNT226/intellivue-mp2x2-phili
ps-universal-clamp-mounting-solution#galleryTab=PI
...used to mount things on medical equipment and hospital beds. I have a
1.5' piece of 1" black sprinkler pipe on the base of the arrow (removed
grip), and one of these clamped on the end. Besides the weight, it is
the platform that I mount a pre-amp/battery on.

The MFJ diplexer makes a decent counterweight, and is likely lower
insertion loss than the in-handle one sold by arrow.

A few months ago we added Washington, DC counting the same as a state.
Today, we continued to align our awards with the ARRL. Our rules stated
contacts had to be made within 25 miles or 40 kilometers from your home
location. We have now amended the rules to read within 50 miles or 80
kilometers. This should be more beneficial for those that have moved to
a new QTH.
