I would like to add my condolences to go to Frank's family and friends.?
As others have mentioned Frank has always been a friendly voice on the
birds.? He would often seek me out on SSB birds and say hello.? More
surprising, if I was working a special event call or club call he would
recognize my voice and say "Hello Daryl" !? As you might imagine that
always put a smile on my face.
RIP Frank

I was very sorry to hear we lost Frank. He was a fixture on the birds and
I?ve made many Qs with him. His voice will be missed. R.I.P

Morning!
Anyone know if there is software for programming the memory slots for a
910H? Specifically want to use a computer to fill the memory slots including
the satellite slots.
Let me know.
Thanks

Everyone:
This newbie (not yet QRV, hope to be QRV within six months) is looking to
find out which stations are active so that I can determine if possible to
work certain stations.
On 6m moon-bounce, we coordinate ?who?s on and which frequencies? using the
internet ON4KST chat (EME page) [and then of course any QSO attempts move
solely to the RF path off of the internet]. Is there a similar
internet-based chat page (for purpose of coordinating and finding out who?s
QRV real-time) for satellite CW, SSB, and FM work please?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards, looking forward to my 1st satellite QSO and many more.
Very 73,

Although satellite contacts do no not count in the scoring of Salmon Run
2018, I will be in Grid DN06 (Prosser WA) with my gear.??? I will try to be
on each AO-91, AO-92 and SO-50 contact during the weekend from Friday
(2:00PM local PDT) to Sunday (1600 local PDT).
I hope you hear me and via-versa.

I was very sad to hear about Frank. I worked him many times on multiple
satellites. The most recent on July 27th on AO-91. He was a very welcome
voice over the transponders. RIP Frank.

Welcome! Hope to hear you on the birds soon.
There isn't really a "spotting" network or site for satellite operating like
in other niches of ham radio, such as SOTA or EME, for VHF/UHF in general
(http://www.n6sjv.org/), or automated like the Reverse Beacon Network. Not
sure if anyone's tried to use that N6SJV site for this purpose. There's no
obvious indication on that site that they do not consider satellite
operating to be in scope.?
The closest current resource to what you're seeking is probably Twitter.
Many prolific satellite rover ops announce their upcoming grid operations
(many from rare grid squares) in publicly accessible tweets. Many will
announce the specific passes they plan to operate, or even in real time
announce being QRV for a given pass. I think Twitter is the closest thing we
have so far to what you're looking for. I didn't use Twitter until I started
getting more active on satellites, and only use it in conjunction with
satellite operating.?

I worked Frank once from the AMSAT Cruise several years ago and provided
him with a wet grid. He will be missed.

Lots of Twitter activity, #amsat is a good place to start looking for
people.
Almost any FM pass will have people on, if you want to skip looking for
someone to chase. They would at least help you learn how to receive, which
is the first step to making a QSO.

No, there is no such system because it is unnecessary. There are few
satellites visible from any point on the planet at any given time, anyone
on the satellite will be on one band or band pair, there are usually plenty
of stations to work (too many on the FM satellites, where all are competing
for a single channel -- but not enough on the linear satellites, where it
can sometimes be lonely, but announcements aren't going to create more
stations on a pass in progress), and any station in the footprint of the
satellite will be able to hear and work any other station also in the
footprint. Just get on, you'll find people to talk to.

Ryan, Charles, Mark, Don, everyone:
Thank you; I look forward to making lots of new friends in this (new to
me) venture. I have (other places) found internet coordination helpful to
chat with stations in other DXCCs, finding out when their work schedule
allows them to be QRV, etc.
I?ll watch the below N6SJV link and Twitter (thank you)! Obviously I want
to respect the various resources guidelines and keep traffic appropriate
for the venue.
If anyone discovers an even better way to identify who is currently active
(realizing LEO footprint limitations) on satellites from various DXCC
locations, I?m all ears. (also US states toward WAS, etc.)?
I?ve already seen a few announcements of hams operating from great DXCC
locations which is highly motivating me to get on the air!
Currently I am trying to buy a ring-rotor for an existing 45G tower
because I have to get above a 52? high line of trees to see the horizon.
Antennas are purchased (not yet built). MacDoppler is running great and
I?m learning a lot. If I understand this right, I can configure
MacDoppler to take care of Doppler shift (will computer-control the
radio). I realize I must listen to beacon level and set my Tx power
accordingly (to not be an alligator).. I?ve been reading lots on the
AMSAT website also.
I?m a moon-bounce guy so no stranger to weak-signal work.. Looking forward
to this. 73.. CU soon.
