Martha is back from vacation and Dayton. The store has been updated.
There are very limited quantities of the new Golf Shirt, T-Shirt and
Hats. There are 18 LVB Trackers available. If you were looking for one,
this is your opportunity.
We also put 30 copies of the newest 2016 Getting Started in Satellites
on the shelf ready for you to order. This new edition has more pages,
printed in color and spiral bound for easier reading and leaving a page
open while you do something.

But linear is a subset of "circular", so, couldn?t we use a dish that is 40%
larger (to make up the 3 dB loss of going linear) and use a linear feed on
the uplink so it can be cross polarized with the downlink and thus get maybe
20 dB of isolation? Maybe that 20 dB of isolation is still not enough?
Bob, WB4aPR
However many Europeans may have one dish for TV anyway. It is relatively
easy to mount two LNBs on one dish for 2 different satellite positions, so
one dish for household TV with a second LNB for Eshail sat, The LNB that is
offset from prime focus will see a smaller gain than prime focus so a
slightly larger dish may be needed and a separate dedicated dish for
circular uplink. That is not to say it could not be done, but to have both
at the same focal point is not a good idea.
A rotator is not needed for EsHail as it is proper geostationary.

So do you currently have satellite TV, how big, and what satellite is it
pointing at?
Also what is your location?

For the ARISS events that have recently concluded in the UK with Tim Peake,
we used the following setup for the bulk of the contacts.
1x Wimo X Quad with vertical, horizontal, crossed left & right polarisation
switching. http://wimo.de/xquad-antennas_e.html
1x Wimo Crossed yagi, 2x10 element http://wimo.de/yagi-antennas-wimo_e.html
Model WX220with fixed right hand polarisation.
Both antennas had mast head preamps, were fed via (separate) 50m lengths of
Ecoflex 15+ coax cables to the radio (TS2000X) through a common RF path of a
PA and Bird wattmeter.
Whilst I don't have precise numbers on the times we switched polarisation,
there were far too many occasions on all contacts where the XQuad, albeit
shorter/smaller gain and with switched polarisation etc outperformed the
larger, higher gain, fixed polarisation crossed yagi during the ARISS
contacts. The crossed yagi however, appeared to be better when the ISS was
on the horizons.
You cannot prescribe a setup that will be 100% perfect in all circumstances
- as we say here "pays your money, takes your choice".
It is about what the operator is prepared to invest in terms of equipment vs
the expected return.
For us here in the UK, we prefer to maintain the flexibility on the XQuad
but have the crossed yagi for safety. Besides who else has tried
transporting a 2x10 element crossed yagi from site to site! Oh, and one
other point that was important for us, was the difference between having six
space craft docked to the station and not having six craft docked. That
made a big difference from TCA to LOS.

For my example-I have a four foot prime star dish I used on AO40 (sobsob).
Would not the 5/10 ghz feeds mounted side by side work. Granted not taking
advantage of the entire dish but functional. Also would the small 18" TV
dishes work on 5/10? I once used one on AO40.

During the hamfest, WD9EWK will be on various satellite passes for on-air

I should be able to post pictures and other updates during the morning to

if you don't use Twitter. Also, my location should be visible via APRS. I
use WD9EWK-9 as my call sign for APRS, and - among other sites - it should
be visible at:

during my drive to Show Low on Friday evening, as well as at the hamfest
Saturday morning. Other than on ISS passes, I won't leave my APRS radio

if you don't use Twitter. Also, my location should be visible via APRS. I
use WD9EWK-9 as my call sign for APRS, and - among other sites - it should
be visible at:
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9
during my drive to Show Low on Friday evening, as well as at the hamfest
Saturday morning. Other than on ISS passes, I won't leave my APRS radio
squawking once I have parked at the hamfest.
Thanks in advance, and 73!
