However, 24 hrs after placing the order, I received an e-mail saying my converter has been sent from Austria, which means no 20% import duty and hopefully delivery in a few days rather than 30. https://www.ebay.com/str/HiDes168/EsHail2/_i.html?_storecat=15474554015 Thanks David G0MRF ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2019 08:55:32 -0800 From: Greg D <ko6th.greg@?????.???> To: Ray Soifer <rsoifer1@???.???>, amsat-bb@?????.???

I was an avid user of your HP-41C card reader program! I just got back into sats after a multi-year absence and in that time, mice chewed thru my az/el rotor cables, so since I already had an M2 Eggbeater for 2m on the ground level cross bar (only up 7'), I added a 70cm Eggbeater. If you still want to work the birds, all the following are very easy 70cm up 2m down birds: CAS-4A (linear) CAS-4B (linear) XW-2A, 2B, 2C, (Linear) I don't use 2D or 2F as I have found them to be poor performers) ...and unlike the early days of sats where he had to use cavity and high/low pass filters that were not available, now it is a simple matter of using a pair of 2m/70cm duplexers, which do a GREAT job of isolating the 2m and 70mc downlink/uplink. No desense at all, no intermod at all. If the antennas are in the clear 20w its good. If there are obstructions then an amp helps a LOT. I use an amp of about 70 w because I have the house and lots of vegetation losses, which as you are well aware just kills 70cm uplink. If I had to climb a tower, I'd be off sats, but with these simple eggbeaters and a solid state amp, all the above birds are easy with nothing more than a short step ladder, if even that. 73, N0AN Hasan On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 6:47 PM Roy <rdwelch@??????.???> wrote: > Due to age and physical limitations I have not been able to keep up to > date with the maintenance requirements on my satellite antennas and > rotators.
