Scott,
Here is 3" galvanized electrical conduit pipe for $4.13 a foot.

Yes, I did see 3? floor jacks at Lowe?s which might be an option for around
$50.  Heaven knows what I?ll cut them with; my mounting location can?t
accommodate the full length that they came in.

If nothing else turns up, perhaps I can find a shorter length which will not
require cutting and should be cheaper, too.

Floor jacks used to be about 3 inch too.  Used to keep old wood floors from
sagging.

My daughter and I will be going to the Little A'Le'Inn in Rachel NV on
Tuesday. This is a touristy thing, tongue planted firmly in cheek, seeing
the kitschy stuff on premises, maybe buying some souvenirs in the gift shop
and probably having an 'Alien Burger'. =^P

The location is in DM27, and I plan to operate one pass of SO-50 ONLY! (The
FO-29 pass will completely overlap the SO-50 pass so I was forced to choose
and SO-50 won out.) I want to ask everyone calling me to be courteous, civil
and do not transmit unless you hear the bird. And please, don't call in the
blind. I'll try to work everyone that wants/needs the grid, but cooperation
will go a long way towards that. =^)

If no one hears from me again, you will know that either the aliens or the
'cammo dudes' have taken me on a more permanent vacation, (Joke! Not going
ANYWHERE NEAR the Area 51 gates/perimeter.) - For more info on the 'when &
where' of the rest of my grid activations, please read my special QRZ

I heard the 10 language greeting on 145.800 from the ISS just now in
the UK. I will send the audio file to the organisers of Tomsk-TPU-120.
I will share it in a day or two here. For now you will have to receive
the signal yourself!

Tomsk-TPU-120 CubeSat Celebrates University Anniversary

The Russian Tomsk-TPU-120 CubeSat is different from other CubeSats :
it has a handle!

The 3U CubeSat was launched from Baikonur to the ISS on March 31, 2016
in a Progress-MS-2 cargo vessel. It will be deployed by hand during a
future Russian spacewalk (EVA), which is why it has a handle.

The satellite was developed by students at the Tomsk Polytechnic
University to test new space materials technology and will be the
world?s first space vehicle with a 3D-printed structure.

In May 2016 Tomsk Polytechnic University celebrates its 120th
anniversary. As part of the celebrations on May 10-11 Tomsk-TPU-120
will be activated in the ISS and will transmit a greeting to Earth
inhabitants, recorded by students of the university in 10 languages:
Russian, English, German, French, Chinese, Arabic, Tatar, Indian,
Kazakh and Portuguese.

The greeting signal will be transmitted once a minute on 437.025 MHz FM.

One of the Kenwood transceivers on the ISS will provide a simulcast of
the signal on 145.800 MHz FM.

The Tomsk satellite onboard ISS will be turned on May 10 at 07:55 UTC
and switched off on May 11 at 10:10 UTC.

Reception reports will be appreciated. Please send reports to
mailto:rv3dr@xxxx.xx

Barely heard it on the UHF side at max elevation 51 degrees.

This was the first pass over a land mass after it was turned on. Also
recorded russian, german, something I couldn't ID and a tiny bit of chinese
at the end of the pass.

In case it wasn't clear, the recording is of the VHF signal. I switched
over to the UHF side once at max elevation and barely heard it so I
switched back.

Here is a video I recorded of my setup after I received it at 8:20 UTC:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Dear AMSAT community members,

It is everyone's favorite time of the week! The time where I try to guilt
you into taking a survey; at least this is the last one.

This is a reminder email for the Network Survey. So far about 10
participants have completed the survey, and if you have I am very grateful.
I will keep the survey open until at least this coming Monday, I am hoping
to get over 50 responses, 100-200 would be ideal.

This survey is one of the shorter ones, but you can still take it in stages
if you want. To do this you must resume or visit the link in the same
browser on the same computer and have cookies turned on as this track your
session: no other identifying information is collected or stored.

You can you use the link below to access the Network Survey.

https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3jAwt3PdKrcSEx7

What follows is more information about the survey and is largely the same as
what you have seen before.

There is a chance to win some gift cards. Please see below for more
information. The survey should take about 15 minutes. Thanks.

Please note that the link is anonymous, so you are getting this reminder
even if you have already taken the survey. I would like to thank everyone
that has participated thus far, I really appreciate it, I know it is an
inconvenience and that everyone is really busy.

The second part of the survey has background questions that will give
context to your answers. Try to fill the background out the same way if you
take more than one of the surveys.

Answer as many of the questions as you want and as much of each question as
you want, partial surveys may still be very helpful. At the end of this
survey, you will be redirected to a webpage that asks for an email address.
You must enter a valid email address to be considered for survey drawings or
the overall survey set drawing.

We are currently on the last survey, Network Survey.

You have a chance at receiving a gift card for participating in this survey
as well as a chance at receiving a gift card for your overall participation
in the entire survey set. There will be 2 winners of $25 gift cards for each
survey and 2 winners of $200 gift cards for the survey set.

The surveys are as follows and will be distributed in the following order:

1. Core Concepts
2. Development Preferences
3. Open Systems Architecture and Modularity
4. Security
5. Reuse, Interoperability, Portability, Code Complexity
6. Network <========= We are here =========

After a lengthy hiatus from the birds, I?m finally moving towards getting
back on the air. Today?s first order of business was to upgrade to the
latest version of SatPC32 to use with my Icom IC-910H.

After installing the new software and updating Keps, I was shocked to see
how long the list of available amateur birds had grown to. I ?read the mail?
on the AMSAT BB and the journal but can?t possibly keep track of everything
in the sky these days.

Can someone give me the ?Satellite for Dummies? version of which birds i
want to track? I?m not interested in doing a lot of digital work just
yet?APRS through ISS is about as far as I?ve gotten on that trail. Mostly
interested in SSB/CW and FM for now.

I know I need to add Fox 1A, FunCube, and I think a couple of others, right?
HELP!

:-)

All help gratefully appreciated and accepted.

You can go to amsat.org, then satellite info in the menu bar across the top,
then down to communications satellites, which should take you to here:
http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=177 where you will find links to frequencies
and information for each satellite with a two-way payload.

Hello Les,

Nice you are coming back to the birds.

Try http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm as a quick glance look.

Allow select transponder and packet satellites and ISS, by different icons.

Table and graphics shows next passes for your location in local time
as well as frequencies and where to point antenna.

Wish you good luck with the birds.

AO-73 is not weekends only. During the week, it is available any time
the satellite is eclipsed.
