Thanks, I found that at their website:
http://www.hsmicrowave.com/Amateur%20LNA.html
I'm going to use two radios so that won't be an issue.
Man, so they do require power, or at least this one does.
I'm already starting to get tired of trying to track the satellites
with the Arrow II. Adding a preamp with a battery pack and a second
radio (I've mostly just been listening to the ISS lately) is going to
get even more cumbersome, plus you have to operate two radios while
compensating for doppler, right? How do you operate portably with your
FT-817s? Do you attach one to each hip?! I'm starting to think about
circularly polarized antennas I can just set and forget, but with a
low power satellite like SO-50 that might not work so well. Hmm.

The inaugural edition of Radcom Plus came out today, and the first article
is on building a 2m masthead preamp - the DG8. I don't think it's
particularly appropriate for handheld use, but looks interesting in that it
uses (cheaper) mains relays - whilst I've only had a brief scan the article
looks really well written and detailed. I've been looking for a cheaper
masthead option for 2m to build and so far the relays have always been the
significant cost. Power to this one is also over the coax, so it suits me
well.
Radcom Plus is available online for RSGB members -

No - I don't work for the RSGB - just genuinely impressed!

Hi Dominic
I can recommend that device in the preamp.
It's the same one that's used in the AMSAT-UK FUNcube dongle preamp. - But
very nice to have the TX/RX switching as well
Thanks for the link

I have kind of given up on the evening SO-50 passes while Yuri is sailing
the ocean blue. Nothing at all against Yuri or those working him for the
rare grid square. That's what all this stuff is for.
Just that I'm not going to QSO with anybody during those passes given my
mini-station and (mostly) my inexperience.
I'll be on during the day on weekends and listening at other times for a
break in the action.

John,
No doubt a pre-amp would help immensely. However, I don't useone when
portable since my feedline is less than 10 feet long. Themore important
thing is to be able to change your polarity to matchthat of the Satellite.
Mismatched polarity can degrade the signal bymore than 20 dB. I seldom have
trouble hearing SO-50 as long asI keep up with the tumbling of the bird.

Since a lot of people are talking about SO-50 right now, let me ask a
question:
I did try to work SO-50 once when all I had ever worked before was
SO-35, UO-14 and AO-27 and I was horrified by how hard it was to hear
and track.
I found a thread on qrz.com where they said it's very helpful to use a
preamp for SO-50 since it's so low power, even with the short runs of
coax required for an Arrow II satellite antenna. I know almost nothing
about preamps. What's the deal? Do they need power to work
(active/passive?). What do you recommend?

I'm a complete rookie at this, so take it for what it's worth, but I must
agree with Bob K8BL. I use an Arrow antenna and the reception is usually
59+ if you have the antenna pointed AND tilted (for polarity) in the right
direction. On low angles, reception can go from 59 to null just by rotating
the antenna 90 degrees.

If you are going to Dayton, they will be available at the AMSAT booth. Get
it early because we normally sell out.

The Southgate site did a nice job relaying the ARISS press release:
http://www.southgatearc.org/news/2015/may/ariss_event_0205.htm
AMSAT relays the ARISS news on our SAREX list:

Hi all,
I am the one who first posts all ARISS announcements to the SAREX BB
(_sarex@xxxxx.xxxx (mailto:sarex@xxxxx.xxxx ) concerning upcoming scheduling,
etc. So you would need to be on the SAREX-BB mailing list to get those
regularly.
I do not normally post directly to the AMSAT-BB (_amsat-bb@xxxxx.xxxx
(mailto:amsat-bb@xxxxx.xxxx ).
Within a few days of the contact, Dave AA4KN will also post an announcement
to the SAREX BB that has more details concerning the upcoming school and
questions to be asked.
The upcoming contact is scheduled to be a telebridge via IK1SLD in Italy
and Samantha IZ?UDF using IR?ISS. She will be talking to students from Sol
Plaatje Primary School, Mahikeng, South Africa, and Scuola Secondaria di I
Grado, Caprino Bergamasco, Italy. The contact time is scheduled to be Sat
2015-05-02 14:34:27 UTC at about 45 deg max elevation. It is recommended
that one start listening approximately 10 minute before the announced time
to make sure that there was no orbital change. And make sure you are using
the very latest Keps set.
Often times we are able to simulcast the contact via the IRLP and Echolink
systems. John AG9D usually will post an announcement if the contact is
going to be on IRLP or Echolink as he handles the interface for ARISS.
Sometimes the schools will also stream using their own system. We try to
post
if any of this is going to happen.
Hope this helps. Thanks for your interest in ARISS.
73,
Charlie Sufana AJ9N
