to activate a ultra-rare grid. Well done sir!

I counted 27 QSOs made on that pass of SO-50. That's an incredible job.
Most were relatively disciplined and it made for an orderly pass given that
EL58 is likely the third rarest grid of the 488 continental US grids.
He has two more passes of FO-29 and one more pass of SO-50 to go today if
you didn't get it yet.

I may have a launch opportunity for an HF=HF transponder for a possible
cubesat idea. Probably something like 12m up and 10m down?
Is this worth doing (re-doing) at this point of technology? Enough
bandwidth to support a few voice channels?
Any volunteers to build the translator board?
How is 24 MHz band used? The entire SSB portion of the band is only 60
kHz, so using say 15 kHz for a linear translator to 10m would be quite a
slice. But then the downlink at 10m would be OK since it does have an
exclusive satellite band and so any inadvertent QSO's would be coming down
in a non-competing downlink
Just some open ended thinking after Dayton.

A 15 to 10 Mode K satellite would be fun. 12 meters is allocated to the
Amateur Satellite Service, of course, but the limited bandwidth of the band
might cause conflicts if the satellite continues to function when the solar
cycle starts to perk up again. 15 meters, on the other hand, has plenty of
room, especially if you put the uplink somewhere above 21.400.

K5L continued to rock it on the last SO-50 and FO-29 pass. One last FO-29
pass for everyone looking for K5L in EL58 - at around 19:12 UTC. The pass
covers pretty much all of North America.

Paul makes good points on using 15 instead of 12. RS-12/13 ran primarily in
Mode K, 15 up and 10 down, with I think a 40 Khz transponder. It was my
first satellite, and many others I'm sure. Doppler is really low, easy to
work half duplex with a fan dipole and a single HF rig. With the upcoming
solar minimum, I think it'd be a popular transponder (again) if available
for voice as well as CW/data.
Separate email to follow direct on a possibly interested builder.

Hello,
Am relaying the latest developments on the CNCTRK system hardware.
UPDATE: 2016-05-25
Arduino Interface for CNCTRK/RAZEL Positioner Developed For Use With SATPC32
An Arduino SKETCH has been developed to allow interfacing the RAZEL
hardware to
any tracking software using the Yaesu GS-232 protocol. This enables the
AZ/EL
stepper motor based positioner to be used from SATPC32, GPredict, and
others
*without using the CNC-based system* on the Raspberry Pi or laptop. The
interface
has only been tested with SatPC32, so far.
Arduino connections (pinouts) and detailed descriptions can be found here:
http://ki4sbl.dodropin.org/CNCTRK
The Arduino Sketch is found here:
http://ki4sbl.dodropin.org/CNCTRK/Arduino/RAZEL-duino_cmd-no-display.ino
Thanks to Tom, W9KE, for a nice start on the GS-232 interface code, though
any errors are all mine!
Comments, corrections, and feedback are welcomed.
Have fun!

is sat operations even legal on that band? 12M?
The old Russian 15 & 10 meters were cool,
I'd like to see a good old mode "A" myself. It has to be the easiest (
except for the FM Channel repeater on a very tall tower equivalent birds)
Extreme simple gear can get you on Mode "A"
Ive done it with a dipole on 10 and a coathanger GP on 2 and the 2
transmitter was a FM rig with the mic disconnected and a straight key on
the PTT. it was a little chirpy but hey worked like 30 states with that
simple thing.

Yes, the Amateur Satellite Service has allocations in 40m (7.000 - 7.100
only), 20m (14.000 - 14.250 only), 17m, 15m, 12m, and 10m (entire band for

Sure, the IARU bandplans only have satellite uplinks or downlinks at those
frequencies, but the ITU Radio Regulations allocate portions of 40m and
20m, as well as the entirety of 17m, 15m, 12m, and 10m to the Amateur
Satellite Service.
A 15m or 12m uplink is perfectly legal.
