Just a note to all whom I had QSOs with this past weekend... I am in the
process of uploading all contacts to LoTW and should be done by
tomorrow.? Not sure if it makes a difference, but my call sign is
showing up as N6REK/P on my logged QSOs. Thanks to everyone who
responded to me.

My sis-in-law will be visiting from the States soon and I usually make
her bring some stuff for me so I can save on freight costs. She will
definitely bring an Arrow Antenna so I can start some portable
operations. A Sony voice recorder is also on my list, as well as some
coax cable (RG-400 is what I'm thinking of. Really expensive here).
Don't have a budget for much more, but since I have a clear
line-of-sight to some 10 kW FM transmitters from my QTH I thought I
should at least get a good FM-band notch filter.
Any recommendations on where to buy this in the US? I haven't found
anything when I googled, not even a lot of 2/70 band pass filters, or
low pass filters to prevent desensing on 70 cm. My own creations have a
too high insertion loss, so this time I really want something a bit more
professional and something that can handle at least 100 Watts of power.
Any recommendations are welcome. Cheers. --Hans BX2ABT

I doubt these can take more than a few Watts. I want something you can
use for higher power. Thanks for the link, though.

Hans,
I was going to recommend the same RTL-SDR.com filters, with the caveat that
you cannot transmit through them. This shouldn't be a problem if you are
using an arrow (just be sure to not TX on the antenna it's connected to),
though? (somebody can correct me if I am wrong). I will say that I
researched band reject filters a while ago that can take significant power,
and they are REALLY expensive (like $100 and up). I own one of these
cheap RTL-SDR.com FM filters and it does work (although I've never used it
for sat ops).

Looking for a Hawaii station for an AO-7 contact from RE66 - should be

Hans,
If you are keen on getting a Sony recorder by all means, but if you like a
all-in-one device, just use an old android phone (without SIM card).?
There are free apps for almost anything - Easy Voice Recorder for recording
audio, AmSat Droid Free for pass prediction (uses built-in GPS for accurate
location), Robot36 + SSTV encoder, built-in Calendar, Clock, Camera, easy to
recharge, small, light weight, big color display, flash-light, file transfer
(USB or WiFi), etc... and FREE if you have an old one lying around.? You can
even take a selfie video of working a pass and post it on YouTube/FB, if you
like.? I have been using mine for years and never looked back.

I?ll be speaking and doing demonstrations at JAMSAT Symposium this weekend.
If any one is there, and wants to meet up, please let me know!
Focus is on how we use GNU Radio on Phase 4 Ground and why it?s such a
great tool for amateur radio experimentation. We are on deck on Sunday.
Work on broadband microwave digital system GEO and ground stations for
North America continues and has made some big steps forward lately. Read
about recent activities at https://openresearch.institute, or in AMSAT-NA

Subject: [amsat-bb] Tuning above 435.360 MHz when working AO-92 U/V??
Message-ID:
<CAN6TEUcgqXiYUKB-pSMo+Zhoq702BuxDxNK9UiM33uEu6VwLzQ@????.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Hi!
A couple of weeks ago, when I started using my old Icom IC-W32A on the FM
satellites again, I saw that I was having to tune up to 435.365 MHz on the
AO-92 U/V uplink to get through near my LOS. I didn't think much about it
then, since the radio is at least 15 years old. It worked, even with the
additional tuning step, and did a decent job on AO-91 and AO-92 (U/V). It's
one of the later W32A models, with a 7-digit serial number that doesn't
include any capabilities to receive at 800 MHz, and doesn't work SO-50
full-duplex.
I was on AO-92 U/V earlier this week using my TH-D72 HT. On one pass Monday
morning, I found that I had to tune up to 435.365 MHz near the end of a
pass to get through the satellite. This was the first time I could recall
having to do this with my TH-D72. I asked about this on Twitter and the
QRZ satellite forum; a few others have noticed the same thing.
I am now finding that when I work AO-92 U/V, I don't stay on 435.340 MHz
very long. Maybe a minute or so, about the same amount of time I have been
on 435.365 MHz before LOS. I spend a similar amount of time on the other
4 tuning steps for AO-92 U/V (435.345 through 435.360 MHz). Once I saw
this, it is not a big deal to be prepared to use a 6th tuning step on my
radios. This is a relatively new thing, as I wasn't having to tune above
435.360 MHz a year ago - or even 3-4 months ago - when working AO-92 U/V.
For those using HTs or FM mobile radios to work AO-92 U/V, does anyone else
find they are having to transmit above 435.360 MHz late in those passes to
get through? If you're using something like an IC-910 or IC-9100, where are
your radios ending up when working AO-92 U/V? Or an alternative question...
what are you using as the nominal uplink frequency for AO-92 U/V?
Thanks, and 73!
