Hi Gerald,
Why 75' of ultra flex? I would you flex over the rotator, then the normal
non-flex for the long stretch.. lower loss and often cheaper.

One more to add to the list:

UC2C
The coax is not LMR, but the measurements done by other buyers seem to
indicate that it is nearly identical. Good enough for 75% of the price,
plus connectors!
The termination and connectors are high-quality, comparable to Amphenol.
This cable is made/assembled in the U.S. of A.

Happy 27th birthday to AMRAD-Oscar 27, still alive and operating today!
For an amateur radio satellite operator in the early 1990s, working on a
satellite project based on the AMSAT Microsat design was a dream job!
The hams on the team (including Dino Lorenzini, Mark Kanawati, Steve Greene
and Mike Wyrick) couldn't help but include an amateur radio payload, and
were successful with the help of fellow amateurs and the local Vienna,
Virginia Amateur Research and Development (AMRAD) group: Paul Renaldo,
Andre Castillot, Dave Rogers, Glenn Baumgartner, Sandy Sanders, Matt
Butcher, Randy Mays, and Terry Fox, and with help from AMSAT?s Lyle
Johnson, Chuck Green, and Jim White, among many others.
EYESAT-1/AO-27 launched (with the amateur payload and an extra UHF antenna
for the downlink) at 0145 UTC September 26, 1993. [Ariane-4 V59 also
launched amateur satellites KO-25, IO-26, and PO-28, SSTL?s Healthsat-2,
the Stella research satellite, and the Spot-3 earth observation
satellite.] The satellite was commanded on during the next orbit and the
first QSO on the amateur payload was made the following morning on
September 27, 1993. (We think ? does anyone have an archive of amsat-bb
emails from 1993 who can check?)
AO-27 was the first FM ?bent pipe? satellite and proved to be easy to work
with a strong downlink and sensitive receiver. The amateur FM repeater has
served many Hams worldwide and was one of the first ?Easy Sats?. AO-27 was
later used for the first successful D-Star mode satellite QSO. The 800km
orbit provides continent-spanning coverage. At least one station is known
to have worked 49 states solely via AO-27!
And here we are today, the 27th of September, 2020, celebrating the 27th
birthday of AO-27!
Thanks to Mike Wyrick N3UC who babysat the spacecraft for the last 27 years.
And thanks to all those who helped. There are many untold stories and
photos we hope to share in the near future.
Current information on AO-27?s operating schedule is at www.ao27.net

Today is the celebration of 5 years of flawless operation of IO-86 satellite.
This satellite has performed in at least 3 emergency communications from
disaster area in Indonesia, and has been a breeding ground for close to 100
new Indonesian amsat operators.
Yesterday we?ve concluded a 3-day event to celebrate this huge milestone
thru a VR and APRS qso party.
Please remember this satellite was designed for portable (HT with handheld
yagi / elk antenna) ops, so please refrain of using high power in accessing
IO-86.

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
It was unfortunate that the election results were not released in a
separate message on the amsat-bb. The mistake was explained by Mark
Johns, K0JM, and is totally understandable. Putting out a weekly or
monthly newsletter is a lot of work and those who have done it here or
elsewhere know how much effort it takes. So hats off to those who do
this for AMSAT.
There has been little discussion about the meaning of the election
results themselves and that is what really matters. About 57% of the
votes were for the three candidates who campaigned on staying the
course. 43% of the votes wanted a change of some sort. So the
organization is divided, but how serious the divide remains to be seen.
Although they were not on the ballot, In some ways the election was a
referendum on Patrick and Michelle who have made their positions known
to the membership that has been paying attention. Now that they did not
pick up any support from the election, will they continue to serve? And
if they choose not to serve, will the alternates (who wanted change
also) feel that they would be able to contribute in a meaningful way?
As Kenny Rogers once said, "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know
when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run." Some
members have already announced their intentions not to serve in various
ways and for various reasons. Others may follow.
The Symposium and associated Board Meeting coming up soon may provide
some answers as to the future direction of AMSAT. We will wait and see
how it all turns out.

I am disappointed to learn of these results. I thought the new progressive
group was headed in the right direction.
Satellite research takes money and there is lots of it out there! I just
retired from a "university" where I found it fun to try to build amateur
satellites with available project funding. But My fun was building them,
not trying to figure out how to pay for them. I was getting by on maybe a
$10k per year budget.
But then more academic faculty came on board. They spent their time
looking for grants and money and writing proposals and we were swimming in
so much money we did not have the resources to spend it! For a guy who
likes to build a cubesat on a table top,, I could not possibly spend even a
fraction of it. BUT THEY WERE leading in the right direction. They showed
how there is so much money out there that if you just direct your interests
and proposals correctly there is plenty to go around and to cover the
amateur interests as well.
I learned the lesson that academics is all about making proposals and
getting BIG bucks to do things that meet your mutual interests. That is
the only way AMSAT can survive is to have those people on the leading edge
and making proposals where AMSAT and other interests overlap.
I really ignored all the AMSAT BB arguing going on, because I thought it
was obvious that the progressives were on the right track and the status
quo was just holding us back. I am shocked to see the progressives lost.

John,
I, speaking only for myself, don't want that to start on this list.
The vote is over. The membership has spoken.
If someone wants to run during the next election, now is the time to
demonstrate and exemplify being a leader. That person will gather
support, and that support could carry them onto the board during the
next cycle.
If you don't want to be part of AMSAT, there appears to be at least one
other alternative (ORI). I suspect, in time, ORI will have some of the
same discussions/debates/arguments/mudslinging on their list. History
has a knack for repeating itself.
We're here to design, build, and/or operate satellites, and I hope we
get back to that.
