Hi Jim!
Try this list:
https://www.amsat.org/two-way-satellites/
AO-73 works on a schedule, and its transponder isn't on all the
time, but it still works.

There's a release notes document link on HRD site that has anything related

James,
AO-73 is still active and the transponder (linear) usually available
in the evenings or during periods of eclipse, I'm not sure if your
referring to UKube-1 but again that wasn't an FM satellite.
The others have responded with the AMSAT page showing what's available.

Some of you may recall my 'trials and tribulations' post from last week.
This is a follow up of sorts. I'm down in DM37 burning a week of vacation
time. Prior to leaving home (CN85), I decided to bring my TH D72 and Arrow
II along with me -probably to see if getting out of the urban environment
would help things. I had a go at one of the FM birds yesterday but was met
with more of the same: inability to hear myself on the DL. Spent a good
chunk of time last night (re)reading articles and watching videos on
everything from compass basics to smartphone tracking apps -HamSat in my case.
Must've paid off, as I finally achieved success today on both AO-91 and
SO-50! For the AO-91 pass, I skipped the voice memo app on my iPhone and
focused on using HamSat. As a result, I had a MUCH better idea of where to
point the antenna -both in terms of az and el- but I'm afraid I've no idea
what time I made my two Qs! Later in the day I repeated this approach during
the SO-50 pass and again had to estimate the time of the two Qs I made
during that pass.
But one thing did not change. I still had great difficulty hearing myself on
the DL. Actually, let me clarify that just a bit. There was one point during
the AO-91 pass when I caught the briefest of blip)s in my headset. You
know... not at all unlike what you'd hear on HF when quickly spinning the
VFO up or down the band. (In this case, the 'VFO' was me flipping the
antenna round trying to account for Doppler). Unfortunately, by the time I
flipped it round the other way, I'd finished my transmission!
I *think* I heard it a bit better later in the day during the SO-5O pass. It
went from sounding 'normal' to sounding as though I were speaking while
having a head cold. I dunno, maybe I was expecting something a bit louder.
My roots are in HF contesting and DXing (cw and rtty) so maybe that was
working against me ;)
Observations:
1. There's a LOT to pay attention to during a pass!
2. It's not as easy as John (KG4AKV) makes it look in his videos!! ;)
3. I really need to go the patch cable/splitter route so I can put a voice
recorder inline.
4. Even an Arrow II gets heavy after 14 minutes. Gonna have to think about a
tripod mount.

Guys... with a G-5500... you'll have a GS-232A/B controller. When you
connect in the Rotator app... you select the correct Yaesu controller...
the default baud rate is 4800 (which is fine).
Make sure you can control the AZ of that rotor from within the Rotator app
(which will verify that it's all connected properly).
Then start up the DDE functionality in Rotator... then you can enable the
rotor from within the Satellite Tracking app.

Good morning,
I am wondering why there are not more folks on the birds using LOTW?
I have a couple of people that show as LOTW users, however, they have not
uploaded there Sat contacts, or I have a bad miss match which can happen.
Being new I am still learning how some of this is working and have been
using LOTW for years and I find it quite easy to work with depending on the
software that is being used for logging.
I know that this subject most likely has been addressed before, however, in
this day and age with the cost of cards, postage and envelopes it gets
quite costly to be sending out many cards to obtain awards.
Another thing that I have not seen is if for some of the Amsat awards if
LOTW could be used for the awards if you can show a screenshot of the
matches via there system.
The reason I ask is when you look at the cost of cards, then postage and
envelopes, the cost can be quite high and if doing SASE the cost even goes
higher.
I know if your working non-USA contacts you can use the bureau which is
fine, just domestic stuff it is thru the roof. In many cases, you could be
2 to 3 dollars per confirmation.
Jim
