That will probably work well. As long as the scanner has a decent
receiver it should work perfectly. The Fox birds (AO-85, AO-91, and
AO-92) will be easiest to hear. SO-50 will be harder to hear, but like
I said, if it's a decent receiver it will work perfectly.
Trevor, KD9IXX uses a Radioshack scanner for RX. You can see a
description and pics of his setup here:
https://www.qrz.com/db/kd9ixx
FYI AO-85 is a little deaf so it can be hard to get into with only 5
watts. Also note the recent announcement to only use it when it is
illuminated by the sun. I would concentrate on AO-91 or AO-92. AO-92
is usually in L-band uplink mode on Sundays so unless you have a 1.2
GHz transceiver don't try it on Sundays!
Don't forget to record at least yourself, if not the radio audio if
you can get the audio connections working right (you might have to use
a splitter). Repeat the callsign of the station you worked so the
recorder picks it up. That way you know who you contacted. There is no
time to write stuff down while holding all that gear.

Jerry, thanks for your feedback on all of your teams efforts.
I think I can speak for all that we not only much appreciate the
engineering /telem software work you all do, but the weekly
notices/bulletins that are posted by the AMSAT Volunteers. This is a
great group.
very 73,
Christy KB6LTY

I certainly wouldn't rule out real-time logging by hand during the pass. It
may not be that difficult to position one's equipment to leave a free hand
to log heard calls and grids (and identify completed QSOs) during a pass
while receiving. That's exactly what I do, and I'm always pedestrian-mobile
when working the satellites. Sometimes I use my car's trunk as a writing
surface, but I'm carrying everything else on my person. One hand holds the
antenna, and the other holds a PTT switch (for the linears) or presses the
PTT switch on my earpiece only when I transmit, and writes when I'm
receiving. Recording audio is fine for post-pass confirmation but provides
no aid to the operator during the pass. Real-time hand-logging made a huge
and immediate positive impact on my ability to work the satellites.?

Also remember that the SatNOGS network might have captured your QSO:
https://db.satnogs.org/
Type "FOX" in the filter box, for instance, and pick the satellite you
worked. It's a great resource, even if you are just listening.

Looking further into this strange satellite that is active in the
HAMRADIO spectrum without following the IARU regulation

Can we do something?, I am not sure, but one thing we should do, and
that is contacting
the organizations and remind them that there are regulations they should

Presumably the Italian government licensed this commercial operation
on the amateur bands, which is unfortunate.

The VX + BC should work, but be sure to have a good (and separate!)
antenna on the scanner. Try to listen to a pass with the scanner to see
how it performs first.
My first Oscar contacts on RS-10 used a Radio Shack shortwave receiver
for its 10 meter downlink.

Norm, N3YKF, became a Silent Key on 12December2018 after a
long battle with a rare form of cancer. He underwent many
operations and treatments, spending months in and out
of the hospital.
Norm was an experimenter and satellite dxpeditioner. He
was constantly working on his "portable" setup which
included az/el rotors and CP antennas. He operated from
Peru, Guyana, Suriname, San Andres Island, Tobago Island
and other rare places. I remember that he took cavities
on his second trip to Peru to fight the RF pollution there.
Norm would often post on the amsat-bb in response to
requests for help with antenna and rotor problems. He
spent most of his time working on his portable setup
rather than operating. He will be missed.

One thing that helped me with a dual radio setup was a MFJ-916B duplexer
that is being used as a filter; only on the 2m side of the Arrow.

It would be reasonable to cite interference to a licensed station in the
amateur-satellite service (must be documented) as a reason for asking your
administration (FCC in the USA) to report the problem to the licensing
administration under RR Article 22 and demand that the offending
transmissions cease.

I worked N3YKF over AO-51 in 2011-11. He was in EL99 at the time,
making him one of my furthest contacts, around 3700 km from DO33. He
was not only a new station for me but also provided me with a new grid
square.
Thank you, Norm.

No volunteer engineers, no satellite QSOs. Pretty simple, really.
Thanks to all.

Jerry, thanks for your feedback on all of your teams efforts.
I think I can speak for all that we not only much appreciate the
engineering /telem software work you all do, but the weekly
notices/bulletins that are posted by the AMSAT Volunteers. This is a
great group.
very 73,
