Thanks for all of the interest but the Yaesu G-5500 azimuth rotator has
already been sold....actually had 11 folks who wanted to buy it...but
only had one of them and it went within afew hours of posting it on QRZ...
I did want to clarify one thing based on one of the emails I received? I
was not selling an elevation rotator for $250? Just the azimuth rotator.
Apologies for my obviously ambiguous statement.
What I was referencing is that the Yaesu parts department sells both the
azimuth and the elevation G 5500 rotators for $250 each plus shipping of
about $22. (They charge about $390 for the controller? These often sell
on eBay for about $100? There was one selling for $79 a few days ago.)
If you are considering repair or refurbishment of your rotator, my cost
was $122 plus $63 for return shipping plus the $63 shipping costs for me
to send the rotator and controller since they wanted both to make sure
what the problem was.
This equals a total cost of $248 for a refurbished one (which they ended
up screwing up twice more with poor workmanship)? Versus $272 for a
brand-new one with a one year warranty ? and it comes with a brand-new
lower mast mount to boot ? and you don't end up with nearly 3 months of
downtime off the satellites due to Yaesu's slow repair and screw ups.
I know money can be tight but you might, just maybe, consider this
arithmetic and $24 difference next time one of your G-5500 rotators fail.

great fo29 pass a few mins ago.
next pass ao92 at 1434z
we are attempting all visible passes to the west or overhead today on
ao92, fo29, so50, ao85, ao91 and will give ao7 a shot at 1744z.
working on the possibilty of europe this evening on 7 or 29 but have some
hills to the east
about the only hf working at all is ft8 on 30. prop gods not happy.

Hi Tom,
https://w4uoo.wordpress.com/sat/
I gave this at the Tampa Amateur Radio Club a few weeks back. Only
covered 'Beginners' and FM. Drew - KO4MA joined me being local to us in
the area, which gave the whole deal some great stories about what AMSAT is
doing too. (I was grateful to have Drew along to give the gig credibility
<smile>)
I didn't do Power Point, wanted it to be more accessible from a mobile
device or tablet.
I pitched this from my phone connected to a large display at the TARC
clubhouse with an apple TV over wifi so I could also show satellite
tracking from my phone and mailed the link to the club email reflector
during the presentation so that all could have the information during the
preso and the meeting.
Its got a couple things I need to add like update your keps etc...
There's a few new folks in the fray now as a result.
Next I'll do a follow up on linear birds and working with a station that
has az-el capability.
Major emphasis ---> Make absolutely sure you can hear on several passes
before you ever think about transmitting to get used to pointing the
antenna, and, watch your ERP once you do transmit...and don't forget -
Support AMSAT
Use it if you like let us know how it goes.
Good luck !
Mike

Subject: [amsat-bb] Amateur Deep Space Tracking
Message-ID: <c7ca1345-d725-a4c4-68c8-6083a513b4f0@??????.??>

All,
Many radio amateurs are familiar with tracking amateur satellites
that orbit the Earth in low orbits or high elliptical orbits.
Several tracking programs and all required orbital parameters are
available for tracking these satellites.
But soon spacecraft carrying an amateur radio payload will be
launched towards the Moon and beyond. If amateurs want to track
these spacecraft they will need suitable tracking software and
orbital elements to be able to calculate the positions of these
spacecraft.
Calculations
Unfortunately none of the currently available tracking programs,
used for satellite tracking by amateurs, is suitable for deep
space tracking. But fortunately two free, open source software
packages for Windows, Linux and Mac are available, that will
enable deep space tracking:
General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT)
http://gmatcentral.org/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gmat/files/GMAT/GMAT-R2017a/
SciLab, including CelestLab, CelestLabX and Aerospace Blockset
http://www.scilab.org/
http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/celestlab
https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/aerospace_blockset
Probably most amateurs will prefer GMAT, because it is most user
friendly, has a lot of documentation and help files, and contains
many sample scripts. Scripts that are created by other amateurs
can be used without having much knowledge or experience with
GMAT.
Measurements
It is not certain that orbital elements for all deep space spacecraft
carrying amateur radio payloads will be made available to
radio amateurs. Therefore amateurs may need to measure these
orbital elements themselves through doppler and ranging
measurements. So amateurs will need to set up their own Amateur
Deep Space Network, similar to NASA's DSN, ESA's Estrack, etc.
This will require some stations with large enough antennas and
with equipment to carry out doppler and ranging measurements
to determine direction and distance to the spacecraft. This new
development is an interesting challenge for radio amateurs.
For further details see my Amateur Deep Space Tracking page:
https://hamsat1.home.xs4all.nl/index.html
You can find further information on space flight on this very
informative set of pages:
https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/basics/
Deep space navigation is covered in chapter 13:
