K4AMG has 3 demo events starting early September - mid October and would
like to borrow an AMSAT OSCAR Simulator

At ODU and the Fest our OSCAR Station will be on the air and HF.
At the Beach Hamfest we will talk about OSCAR and STEM.
Is a simulator available for these events.

Rich,
The quick answer is, I don't know. They were both given out to have
some adaptations done to them and haven't returned. This serves as a
good reminder to follow-up with this project. I'll do that today. If I
can get one available and meet your deadlines, I will. I will keep you
in the loop. Can you provide me with the hard dates for your demos as
well as a receive deadline?

Doug just emailed that he will try to be on the next
FO-29 at 2105utc. He has been very busy working on the
radio station in Jacmel and hasn't been able to get on
the afternoon passes.
Several satellite ops including N8MH, W5PFG, N8RO and KE8AKW
worked him on 14251 last night after 0000z. He might be on
again tonight. Conditions to the US were very good and his
5W FT817 and dipole were doing an amazing job. He worked
3 ZL's that I heard as well.
Hopefully he will be more active Thursday and Friday on the
birds. They leave Saturday.

Message-ID:

Hello all! I had a lightning storm roll through today... radios and gear
were powered down but the computer was not. Not sure what the mechanism was,
but either my Yaesu rotor controller or my Fox Delta ST2 has suffered a
failure. I tried hooking up a 12V wall wart to the ST-2 and I can get the
standard display, albeit the brightness is off (due to voltage being off, I
now know)... the buttons work, readings are within the ball park, etc.
Simply put, it's still working, just something is off somewhere.
-
So with the ST2 connected and checking voltages I can see that the ST2 is
dragging down the voltages from the Yaesu controller considerably... The 12v
line (actually measuring ~15.8v when unconnected) drops to 5.5 volts and
when I check the current draw it's around 350-400 mA. Hooking up the wall
wart and checking again, I find the 12v wall wart (measuring 12.1V when
open) drops to 5.7v when connected and shows a current draw of around 600
mA. The wall wart is rated at 420mA and since I am using a 10A scale to
measure, sounds about right... it's pulling max current. And clearly the
wall wart is capable of supplying more current than the Yaesu controller.
-So what I don't know, are normals... Does anyone know the normal current
draw of the ST2? (serial RS-232 version, if it matters). I can't imagine it
being that high since it is mounted without heatsink!? But I wanted to make
sure before I go tearing into the ST-2 to diagnose it. I suspect the 7805
has gone wonky, but still functioning... although it could be something else
has shorted.
-
Thanks in advance for saving me some time and headache! 73, Kevin N4UFO

Thinking more about the possible 'mechanism of damage', I removed the RS-232
driver chip and the current draw dropped down below 100 mA where I'm sure it
belongs. So I am (still) manually adjusting rotors until I can get that
replaced. Of course, I'll need to check and make sure the serial board in
the computer is working okay as well.? 73 all, Kevin N4UFO

Hi all-
I'll be on SO 50 today from the EN60/EM69 line in rural Illinois today from
1616-1950z today. Will also try FO29 half duplex passes, but in having
trouble getting that to work. I will transmit on 145.930 and trying to
listen as I can.
I also need suggestions for Sunday activations. I'll be staying Saturday
night in Erie, PA, EN92. Won't get there in time for Saturday's SO50
afternoon passes. What else in that neck of the woods do people need? FN23
is as far north as I can go.
Be sure to log me as KX9X/x for LOTW uploads, this includes KX9X/9 for
today's activation.

http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/ is a cool tool to find the times that the

H-II and ISS are about 10 minutes apart (with H-II flying by first) from an
