I recall making a few Mode T QSO's on RS-12. What was strange was there
was no Doppler on the downlink and it was very clear copy. I recall
hearing some UA's calling on the 15 meter uplink but there was no way
they could copy the 2 meter downlink as the footprint only covered
Northern Canada.

I am still interested in the way that the old timers used the Oscar Locator
? and have gotten very few responses in my past inquires... I think there
was one maybe two people actually took the time and sent me in a direction
they thought was clear but I might have to see it done or something. I
suppose you could use keps off of any tracker and if worse came to worser
you could even use months old keps and just keep track and listen...I know
they do not change that much over time but enough eventually.
My point is I would love to show my nephew how to track a sat in space with
a pen and paper and two radios and two antennas ... That would be great, no
cheating...Killer Boy Scout stuff right?
Thanks for any input.

Yes, for knowing when satellites are in view (on vacation for example) you
don't need no stinkin computer.nor even an oscar locator. Just a pen and
paper. Works anytime, anywhere.
You only need one number. And that is how many minutes earlier or later an
orbit is per day. Calculate this once for each satellite of interest and
that is all you need to remember.
See http://aprs.org/MobileLEOtracking.html
For PSAT it is 15 minutes earlier each day, and of course 100 minutes
between passes.
For ISS it is 23 minutes later each day and then every 91 minutes
With these factoids, all you do while traveling on vacation is to set your
mobile to the downlink. Sometime that day you will hear your bird. Just
note the time. And by using the above numbers you can estimate all passes
every day.
The ISS even has another feature, its ground track approximately repeats
every other day. So once you see the pattern you can know what to expect.
With a hand held Arrow antenna, you just swing around and FIND the
satellite and then operate the remainder of the pass. Again, these times
are approximate given that the very first pass you hear, you may not be
sure which one in the daily series it is and the time to next pass creeps
later on descending passes comapred to ascending passes.
But it is fun. I especially like to put my mobile APRS over on the Space
APRS channel when I am out in the wilderness traveling and wait for ISS to
come alive. Then I can quickly jot down all expected passes or the day and
see how that fits into my wife's intentions for the day.
And with a D72 HT that can hear the ISS on a rubber duck, one can always
find the ISS.

Wow
I remember going to AC4MY's shack and we used his FT-1000D for RS-12 in mode
K. Had to connect the sub RX to a separate antenna....that was the rig I
was in awe of then.
Many used 2 rigs for more K. There was a great approach in the Amsat
journal to use a rotary encoder to tune 2 rigs with one knob. I almost
finished mine to use with all the mono band all mode rigs. As you turned the
encoder it would clock the up / down tuning buttons on the mic connector.
The 910h acquisition preempted that project.
On RS10 RS12 and RS15 mode A, I used a TR-751 for 2m TX and a TS -450 for
10M RX from my truck and those terrestrial antennas provided contacts
nicely. (Pre-dates the Arrow or elk)
I would stop in a parking lot and tilt the 2M antenna horizontal to radiate
overhead.
That worked well !!!
Going forward:
If we had a preponderance of mode A or K the second / other rig could
easily be a Radio Shack HTX10 / 100 Ir similar unless those running
terrestrial microwave transverters got all of them :)
Thanks,
Mike

It has been a while since I have been on FO-29, and I was also limited with
power. However, I now have my TS-2000X running, I am going to give the old
bird a shot. I have at my disposal 100W of uplink with my arrow antenna, I
am going to assume this is too much. Is 25W or 50W more appropriate?
Opinions?

This is an "it depends" question.
At higher elevations, 5 watts is likely all you need into an Arrow,
maybe even less. I can work horizon to horizon with loud signals using
less than 30 watts into an Arrow, and have made QSOs in the 6,500 km+
range with just 5 watts into an Arrow.
Feedline losses, obstructions on the horizon (like trees), and overall
traffic on the satellite means your mileage may vary.

Of course, you can use 100W with arrow antenna, but its not needed. 20W is
enough for DX QSO (in AOS or LOS) IMHO.

Ranger is still making 10/12m all mode radios, and you can find plenty of
different ones at Truck Stops and places like www.copper.com. Work fine on
10m and don't need the "extra tune up" to cover that band.

What does the error message "E/A-Fehler 32" mean when trying to store
Radio Setup info?
Model, baud rate, address (it's an IC 910), usb port have been set. The
USB port is valid - it shows up in Device manager. CI-V is connected to

Start with 10 watts. 25 or 50 is waaaaaaay more than you'll need.

appropriate? Opinions?

Subject: [amsat-bb] Anyone for ISS packet QSO, 0248-0258 UTC tonight?

Hi!
I will be lurking on the ISS pass over the continental USA and northern
Mexico this evening at 0248-0258 UTC. This pass will be at a maximum
elevation of 42 degrees here in central Arizona, and I'm hoping to find
other operators at the keyboard to possibly make a QSO or three. I use
my Kenwood TH-D72A and Elk log periodic, and I can make QSOs using APRS
messages.
If you don't use a similar radio or software like UISS, you can still
send an APRS message from a simple terminal program. To do this for a
message to the WD9EWK-9 call I normally use for packet/APRS, type:
:WD9EWK-9 :Here is a message
A colon goes before my call, a space followed by a colon goes after my
call, and then the short message goes after the space and colon. That
is all you need to do. The Kenwood APRS-ready radios won't display
free-form text typed in a terminal program, but can handle APRS messages
from other stations with no problems. I will respond with an APRS
message, typed on the HT's keypad.
Last night during an overhead ISS pass, I worked 3 different stations -
KG6FIY and KK6QMS in southern California early in the pass, followed by
KE8AKW in Ohio later in the pass. The QSO with KE8AKW was the furthest I
have ever worked a station using the ISS (digipeater, or cross-band voice
repeater), at 2755km. I posted a longer writeup about this, complete with
screenshots, in a thread on the QRZ.com satellite forum at:
https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/making-long-distance-iss-packet-qsos.
524960/
Nick was ready for me when the ISS came up for him, and we wasted no time
in completing a QSO. Since it appears that the theoretical maximum distance
for a QSO through the ISS digipeater is in the neighborhood of 4400km, there
is still some room to stretch the footprint. Both operators would need to be
ready to do this, of course, given the limited amount of time there would be
if the QSO distance approaches that theoretical maximum.
73!
