The Yaesu antenna rotator product line was purchased from KenPro Electric
(Japan) in 1990s. Until the 2011 T?hoku earthquake and tsunami, these
antenna rotators were manufactured in Japan. There were shortages (see
KB5WIA below), as Yaesu had to replace some OEM suppliers, and prices rose
afterward.

While you could order replacement parts from Yaesu HQ (Japan),
http://www.yaesu.com/jp/amateur_index/index.html
there are regional Yaesu centers that can order these parts for you
IF the regional center does not have ?in stock?.
In Europe, Yaesu has a regional center in the United Kingdom (UK).

I need a replacement plastic pinion gear used in the motor. I could not
find a spare parts source for this gear.
The Yaesu G-5500 Service Manual on Page 13, Rotator Section picture
indicates this heat is part 21, *pinion gear and WXSTD P/N :is 8000379*
-
I want to pay and order this part, if I know the source.
IF you have an extra one or you know a parts source for this part,
I need their contact address, e-mail, and telephone order.

Dear A.Tahir:
Through a telephone call, I also learned this:
The USA Yaesu office has changed the old P/N 8000379 to new P/N S800947
(same part, new number) and
The USA Yaesu office has this part in stock (cost several US Dollars plus
shipping). Perhaps the U.K. Office may also (have the part in stock)?
I hope this helps!
Very 73,

ARISS SSTV Joins with NASA On The Air for a Special Event
Oct. 19, 2018:
Amateur Radio OnThe International Space Station (ARISS) is planning a very
special Slow Scan TV event currently scheduled to start October 27 about 10
am UTC. Helping to support the event will be NASA?s Space, Communication and
Navigation (SCaN) Dept.?
The Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program manages NASA?s three
most important communications networks. The Space Network (SN), Near Earth
Network (NEN), and the Deep Space Network (DSN.
Just as in past ARISS SSTV commemorations, 12 images will be downlinked, but
this time with 6 featuring the SCaN educational activities while the other 6
images will commemorate? major NASA anniversaries, ie when NASA was
established, astronauts first landing on the moon, etc.
In addition to the fun of receiving these images, participants can qualify
for a special endorsement for the NASA On The Air (NOTA) celebration event.
To learn more about NOTA, visit? ( https://nasaontheair.wordpresscom).
Once received, Images can be posted and viewed athttp://www.
spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php .The transmissions are expected
to be broadcast at the usual frequency of 145.800 MHz using the PD-120 SSTV
mode.
Please note that the event is dependent on other activities, schedules and
crew responsibilities on the ISS and are subject to change at any time.
More information will follow soon, so please continue to check for news and
the most current information on the? AMSAT.org and? ARISS.org websites,
theAMSAT-BB@?????.???? the ARISS facebook at Amateur Radio On The
International Space Station (ARISS) and ARISS twitter @????????????.

SparkCON

Hi all,
I will be doing a demo from downtown Raleigh, NC (FM05) today for SparkCON,
an annual "creativity festival." SparkCON has lots of sub groups for
various creativity pursuits like poetrySPARK and fashionSPARK. I will be
doing the demo for geekSPARK.
https://sparkcon.com
https://sparkcon.com/geekspark/
I decided to do this demo last minute so it is not on the schedule.
This AO-91 pass is a good pass because it goes N-S and is high elevation
(68 degrees) and I will be on Fayettville street which is also N-S and is
the main downtown road which is surrounded by tall buildings.
I have not tested the area for QRM though, so that may be an issue.
Anyway, if you hear me, give me a call!
73, John Brier KG4AKV
P.S. Serena Aunon-Chancellor is on the mic from NA1SS today and making
random contacts according to reports on Twitter from Patrick WD9EWK and
others. Good luck to all who call her!

A couple days ago work G0ABI via AO-91 based on a sched we had made.
Suddenly the elevation in my rotor did not work! So I moved it by hand,
called and called...I did not hear myself. Later Peter sent me a
recording--he had heard me just fine so my Rx was screwed up
Today, I found the rotor problem (a cable). I had hoped it would be the
same problem with the Rx (like a hungry mouse) but no, apparently not. So
I tried 91 again today. Wait, why is the downlink band so quiet? First,
something had happened to my database in MacDoppler and it was all hosed.
It had the AO-91 as a V/u satellite and the wrong freq anyway. Fixed that
in time. Still very quiet on the band. Took my HT to probe around a bit.
Some strong carrier on 145.965. I went outside and suddenly heard a
voice. Aha! Someone using the satellite band! Oh, wait, that is AO-91
booming in on my HT with rubber ducky at about 5 degrees above the
horizon! That was actually pretty cool! (I was probably hearing contacts
with SparkFest!)
Still trying to find the source of the 145.965 (besides AO-91 of course).
It is clearly inside my house--I even know which breaker. But so far not
the obvious things (power supply, network switch, computer, UPS, etc).
I'll keep looking.
But it just goes to show that when a bunch of things happen at once, it is
not ALWAYS due to the same root cause.

I?m back at my winter home in Florida and decided today, to work on my
AlfaSpid rotor control box issue. I replaced two relays to fix the Elevation
issue but in testing it before I replaced the other two relays I?m now
having a problem with the azimuth that?s been working 100% until this point.
When I turn on the rotor control the elevation now seems to work ok, but now
the azimuth immediately goes into a clockwise rotation. No matter what I do
to the controller, upon startup it starts turning CW, only way to stop is to
power it down The azimuth was working fine this morning when a worked a
couple of sat passes. Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know where I can
send this to have it fixed? I have no schematic, or even simple instructions
on how to reset, etc.

Here I go answering my own questions. I think I found part of my problem.
The buttons don't
line up in the case very well and caused the rotor to hung up turning in one
direction. That was problem number two, I fixed problem number one the bad
relay that started all of this.To fix this temporality I have the board out
of the case to test and what is now happening is that I still can't turn
CCW. All buttons work ok except for the CCW button. I tried a reset
thinking that I'm over some set location in the firmware that I cant go CCW,
but the reset doesn't work. I replaced all 4 relays. With the rotor
completely disconnected I can get a relay click for every rotational control
button except CCW, it has to be a glitch in the firmware I can't clear, as I
replaced all four relays. And no I really don't want to spend the $900 for
the green heron controller. Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help...

Hi all,
I finally figured out why I could not receive AO-91. It turns out that my
old Apple Time Capsule (a wifi hub with a disk built in) was pumping out a
nice strong carrier on 145.965 totally overwhelming the satellite. I have
another newer Time Capsule that was fine.
So the question is: I want to replace this with another WiFi hub. Does
anyone have good or bad recommendations for a hub that does not generate a
lot of RF? (When you google Wi-Fi and RF interference, you mainly get other
things that interfere with Wi-Fi :-))
Thanks and 73,
Burns WB1FJ

I have an older router that caused me some problems, but it's not made
any longer so you don't have to worry about not buying one.? I solved
that problem by moving it out of the attic, to a downstairs bedroom
farther away.
But just FYI for possible future problems, I do still pick up
interference from a neighbor that gets in the way of AO-73 and AO-92 at
the lower end of their passband/Doppler shift.? So it may not always be
your own!
