Hi!
Before returning to the ARRL Nevada State Convention for
the final half-day of activities, I will work an SO-50 pass from
the south end of Las Vegas, on the DM25/DM26 grid
boundary (36 Degrees North). This is where I operated
from yesterday, except today is sunny and no rain to be
seen here. The pass starts around 1415 UTC here.

Hi!
The convention here has wrapped up, and I will be on the next
FO-29 pass at 1925 UTC at Lake Mead, east of Las Vegas. The
lake is a National Recreation Area, and ARRL NPOTA
site RC13. It is in grid DM26nc. I will try to set my uplink at
145.925 or 145.930 MHz, but will be working full-duplex
and may move around if I'm not working many stations up
there.

Hi!!
I forgot to mention that I will also try for AO-85, once I stop
working stations on the 1925 UTC FO-29 passes here at
Lake Mead. I have a 60-degree AO-85 pass at 1936-1951
UTC, but will probably miss the first few minutes of that if
I am still working stations on FO-29.

Picked up one of these NIB for just over half sale price, including
the MD-02 control box.
Works well. Had it spinning around for 7 days. Last park found the
antenna where it was supposed to be.
No mechanical re-alignment was performed during testing.
Satpc32 would only drive it if the MD-02 was set to accept GS-232.
Tried this first. Software spun the rotator around 850 degrees in one
direction. Took two days to accomplish this feat. Ran the box
allllllll the way back to 0.
Used PST rotator with the same setup. GS-232 via usb. No problems in 5 days.
Think I found the problem with PST rotator. Haven't gotten to play
with it to see.
Schematics were easy to follow. Documentation was typicial chinglish.
Mechanically, it's built like a tank. Quality control is typical
eastern European/former Soviet republic style. Check out the drill
shaving embedded in the grease:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/25825497034/in/dateposted/
How the manufacturer suggests running control and RF cables throught
the mast baffles me. This is a shot with the cable grommet plate
removed:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/26364148821/in/dateposted/
The top of the casting has a hole that measures approximately 1"
Get the cables in there? Sure! I give it about two months of heavy use
before erosion of cable jacket causes shorts. Lots of exposed
electronics inside. Who wants +24VDC on the coax shield?
Used a recycled AT power supply for +12V and a 6A +24VDC for motor B+.
Antenna was an 2m Elk for testing. Next up is adding buckets of concrete.

Hi!
Just arrived in Kingman AZ, & I will work the 2250 UTC
SO-50 pass on the DM25/DM35 line (114 degrees west).
Just this pass, as I still have 3 hours or so for the drive
home.

SatPC32 supports also the Alfa Spid modes Rot2 and MD1/2 (not only the
Yaesu mode). It comes with interface programs for both modes.

Hi All,
Just to report that FUNcube-1 switched back to autonomous operation at
approx 21:39 UTC this evening.
Presently she is in sunlight and therefore transmitting full power telemetry.
We expect to have full time amateur mode again starting on Friday evening
(UTC time)

repaired by ARR and it hasn't bee used since. $75 shipped.
