I recently gave away my KLM sat antennas. Today while packing up the garages
I found a box of the KLM element clips and insulators. There is about 20 or
so. If you own one of these antenna systems you know what I mean. I'm
offering them free to a good home.

With encouragement from Lou W5DID, and advice from Gil, WA5NOM
nasabare.txt as well as on line tracking for the ISS are now updated on
www.amsat.org at least daily, more often when orbital maneuvers occur.
TLE's come from ISS mission control planning data, and are expected to
be slightly better than those from NORAD/AFSPC especially in the 24-48
hours after reboost maneuvers.
Feedback is welcome, especially if anyone detects problems.

If anyone is interested I am now set up and ready to operate portable in
DN30vx on the FO-29 sat on Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake.
All QSOs will be uploaded today into LOTW.
My exact coordinates are 40 deg 59.670 min N 112 deg 12.143 W. Find me on
Google Earth.
The pass will be at 22:33.
I am running the FT-897D with the Arrow antenna and will be semi-duplex so
please if you hear my CQ give my call several times so I can find you.

Wow, what a day. It all started this morning when I exchanged emails with
Frank, K5FEG and Jeff, NX9B. Both of them expressed their need for some
grids close to my QTH so I checked the weather outside and it looked pretty
decent so I decided I would activate DN30.
In August of this year while I was checking out good locations on Antelope
Island in the Great Salt Lake for the Perceids meteor shower I found a
great spot on the east side of the island with a great take off to the
east. Unfortunately, it was in DN30 and I really wanted to operate from
DN31 for the shower. This morning when I found out there was some interest
in DN30 I immediately thought of the high spot on the island that would be
an ideal spot to access low angle shots to FO-29 to the east.
So I packed up the car with my radio gear and camera and drove the 18 miles
to the spot I had in mind. When I got there there was a little wind and it
was a little cold but I figured I could withstand fifteen minutes of that.
Since I was several hours early I drove back home and puttered around the
house until it was time to leave for the island again.
When I got there the wind had picked up considerably and the temperature
had really dipped, so instead of operating on the picnic table like I had
planned I moved the radio gear back into the car and operated from there.
Since the satellite didn't rise into the sky very high I didn't have much
adjusting of the antenna to do. Here is a list of the stations I worked
through FO-29 from DN30vx.
K4FEG, KB1RVT, AA5PK, N5JF, AC0RE, NX9B, K3SZH, KB0VXN, WB8RJY, NM3B, NX9G,
WN9Q, K8YSE/7, and WA4NVM (I think).
Well, when that was over I dashed home, grabbed a bite to eat and drove to
a park in west Kaysville, Utah in DN41aa where there was a big parking
lot. FO-29 passed practically right over my location so I struggled to
keep the antenna pointed in the right direction. the stations I worked
from there were...
N5JF, AC0RA, NX9B, XE2BHL, W5PFG, K4FEG, K8YSE/7, AND N6FUB.
When I got home I uploaded all the QSOs to LOTW. I will also produce QSL
cards for anyone who wants a hard copy. Just let me know.
Thanks for the fun! 73,
Doc, WA7HQD

I just tried to access the nasabare.txt keps but I get an error "You don't
have permission to access /amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt on this
server."
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks,

The KLM antenna parts went to the first reply. There was a surprising amount
of interest, and some good needs. But I had to be fair. Thanks for all the
interest.
