Actually the comsat is in a halo orbit around one of the LaGrange points

Hi All,
I am just wondering if we (Ham Radio) could have a relay satellite so that
we could have a bigger footprint.

Hi!
I will make a drive out to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and the
rarely-heard grid DM31, next Saturday (2 February 2019). I hope to be out
there by 1600 UTC, staying until sunset - approximately 6pm local time, or
0100 UTC. I may try to park on the DM31/DM32 grid boundary for some passes,
but more than likely I will be somewhere near the national monument's
visitor center - a few miles north of the USA/Mexico border along Arizona
route 85. This area is in the northeast corner of grid DM31, Pima County.
I will work FM and SSB satellite passes that fall within that timeframe,
along with some FalconSat-3 passes.
Being near the international border, coverage by the mobile phone and
terrestrial APRS networks gets spotty. I hope to be able to send updates
from DM31 using my @?????? Twitter account - visible in a web browser at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
I don't think I will have APRS coverage near the border, but much of my
travels next Saturday should appear on APRS as WD9EWK-9:
http://aprs.fi/wD9EWK-9
All contacts made from DM31 will be uploaded to Logbook of the World after
the day-trip. If you would like to receive a QSL card for contacts made
with WD9EWK in DM31, please e-mail me directly with the QSO details. If you
are in the log, I'll send you a card. No need to send me QSL cards or SASEs
to get my QSL card.
Thanks, and 73!

Hi!
I will have an AMSAT booth at the Yuma Hamfest in southwestern Arizona on
Friday and Saturday, 15-16 February 2019. This year's hamfest also serves
as the 2019 ARRL Southwestern Division Convention. The hamfest will be at
the Yuma County Fairgrounds, along 32nd Street between Pacific Avenue and
Avenue 3E, and south of I-8 exit 3, in Yuma. The fairgrounds is across the
street from Yuma International Airport and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma,
More information about the hamfest is available from:
http://www.yumahamfest.org/
During the hamfest, I will have demonstrations of satellite operating from
outside the main hall on the fairgrounds. If you hear WD9EWK on passes
during those two days, please feel free to call and be a part of the
demonstrations. I may not be able to work every possible pass from the
hamfest, but hope to work a variety of passes in FM, SSB, and even packet.
The hamfest site is in grid DM22. Contacts made with WD9EWK will be
uploaded to Logbook of the World, and QSL cards for contacts made with
WD9EWK will be available on request after the hamfest (please e-mail me
directly with the QSO details).
During the hamfest, I will use my @?????? Twitter account to post updates
from the hamfest. If you do not use Twitter, you can still see these
updates in a web browser at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
Hope to see you in Yuma, or - if you can't make it there - please call
WD9EWK if you hear a demonstration in progress during the hamfest. Thanks,
and 73!

Hi!
After the end of the upcoming Yuma Hamfest, I plan to make a drive west to
the DM12/DM22 grid boundary along I-8 near the west end of California's
Imperial Valley on Sunday, 17 February 2019. I hope to work passes for a
few hours out there, with much cooler weather than what I experienced last
July when I was previously out there. :-) The DM12/DM22 grid boundary, at
the town of Ocotillo, is in Imperial County.
While I am out there on the 17th, I will use my @?????? Twitter account to
send updates. Even without a Twitter account, these updates will be visible
in a web browser at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
My travel out to the DM12/DM22 line should be visible on APRS as WD9EWK-9:
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9
All QSOs made from the DM12/DM22 line will be uploaded to Logbook of the
World after I return home. If you would like a QSL card, please e-mail me
directly with the QSO details.
Thanks, and 73!

Raydel,
look here:

=8500&ie=y&sat_type=&sat_name=LUNAR+CTDRS-1&sel_satname=LUNAR+CTDRS-1&plan_id=
It is one Xband emission and several Sband. 2234.52 MHz seems to be
always on, others intermittently. Never saw anything on Xband.

<amsat-bb@?????.???> Subject: [amsat-bb] AMSAT at Yuma (Arizona) Hamfest -
15-16 February 2019
Hi!
I will have an AMSAT booth at the Yuma Hamfest in southwestern Arizona on
Friday and Saturday, 15-16 February 2019. This year's hamfest also serves
as the 2019 ARRL Southwestern Division Convention. The hamfest will be at
the Yuma County Fairgrounds, along 32nd Street between Pacific Avenue and
Avenue 3E, and south of I-8 exit 3, in Yuma. The fairgrounds is across the
street from Yuma International Airport and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma,
More information about the hamfest is available from:
http://www.yumahamfest.org/
During the hamfest, I will have demonstrations of satellite operating from
outside the main hall on the fairgrounds. If you hear WD9EWK on passes
during those two days, please feel free to call and be a part of the
demonstrations. I may not be able to work every possible pass from the
hamfest, but hope to work a variety of passes in FM, SSB, and even packet.
The hamfest site is in grid DM22. Contacts made with WD9EWK will be
uploaded to Logbook of the World, and QSL cards for contacts made with
WD9EWK will be available on request after the hamfest (please e-mail me
directly with the QSO details).
During the hamfest, I will use my @?????? Twitter account to post updates
from the hamfest. If you do not use Twitter, you can still see these
updates in a web browser at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
Hope to see you in Yuma, or - if you can't make it there - please call
WD9EWK if you hear a demonstration in progress during the hamfest. Thanks,
and 73!

George,
Actually we already have an amateur satellite in lunar orbit:
Lunar-OSCAR 94 (also called LongJiang 2 or DSLWP-B).
See BG2BHC's schedule for the next transmissions.
