I'm putting together a very basic and simple ground station. I have a
Little Wheel 70cm for an antenna, and a NICE ARR 70 cm gasfet preamp.
Now I want to mast mount of course the pre amp right at the antenna. And
there are a lot of connections there. So was thinking of making some
sort of a Radome to cover it all.
And was thinking something as simple as a Ice Cream Bucket.
Are there any "Plastics" I should avoid? I do not want to have any
effect on the already weak RF. I want it to be as transparent as possible.
Thoughts?

I have done exactly that using a small plastic wastebasket with no issues. I
would avoid black since it may have some carbon in it.

Nice that folks are remembering the 40th anniversary of Viking-I
landing on Mars.
I worked on the mission as Systems Analyst at the DSS-14 Tracking
Station which is administered by JPL. Actually at the time of the
landing I was between job's, having resigned at Goldstone in April
and would not assume my new job at JPL DSN Engineering until September, 1976.
I took a five month hiatus (vacation) traveling across America towing
a travel trailer and seeing all the Bi-Centenial Events held by many
Nat'l Parks and Historical locations. Celebrated July 4th, 1976 at
Devil's Lake, ND (had planned to make it to Yellowstone but was
slowed down by a couple days by getting sick on water from Isle
Royale, MI). I was 32.
I left JPL in July, 1979 heading up to Alaska for a different
lifestyle (another story).

Two thoughts...
1. You can test the plastic for RF absorption by putting a sample of it
in a microwave oven, along with a coffee mug of water (as a dummy load)
for a minute or two. If the plastic stays cold, it's good.
2. Besides the RF angle, also consider a material that will stand up to
the sun for however long you plan to have this deployed.
Good luck,

Hi Satellite Grid chasers,
This coming October my wife and I will be taking a cruise up the east coast
beginning in New York. Hopefully I will be passing through some grids that
my satellite friends still need.
On the 20th of July I received my Bahamas reciprocal license (C6AQD)
At this time I haven't charted the course because I have been so busy on
our new garage project so I don't know what grids I will be passing
through. We will be on the Norwegian Gem.
More details to follow when I have them.

Erich,
Thanks for the explanation.
Would it be cleaner to delete all the old sats loaded in the table when
the user switches to a different list? The current behavior is
unpredictable.

The rig is NOT putting out a CTCSS tone on 70 cm. I used a VX6R to test
this (thanks Paul S for the suggestion). I can confirm a tone is being
transmitted on 2 meters, because it breaks the squelch on the VX6R. When I
transmit on 70 cm, the squelch is not broken on the VX6R.

I am away from my radio for the weekend. Did you check the correct tone is
set in the menu for 70cm. I vaguely remember some settings are not global

Thanks to everyone for the QSOs on my trip to EN24 and EN25 today.
I was the operator and my wife (OA4ABC) was the human antenna rotator.
Things did not go quite as expected. Severe weather delayed the start of
our operating by about 30 minutes or so. But once we got going from EN24
we did work 5 stations on AO-73 (1558z), 14 on FO-29 (1655z), 7 on SO-50
(1708z) and 1 on UKUBE-1(1742z).
EN25 was an after-thought as we had just about enough time to get there
before a 32 degree pass of FO-29. It was raining pretty hard at the start
of the 1849z pass, but the rain stopped and I put up the antenna and
managed 6 Qs from EN25 before the heavens opened up at which time I took
down the antenna and shut down the radios.
I have uploaded all the Qs to LOTW. If you do not find a match for our
QSO, send me an email. I transcribed the log after getting home and I may
have fumble fingered something.
I set up a table in the back seat of my Rav4 and put my two FT-897Ds there
and set up my Arrow antenna on a heavy duty camera tripod outside the car.
I also had an Amsat Preamp on the receive antenna. The antenna rotator
would do her job and adjust the azimuth two or three times on a pass. So
with no elevation correction it wasn't ideal, but it meant that we
basically kept dry inside the car. A total of 33 contacts were made.
The trip home was the worst rain driving I have ever experienced. We
stopped repeatedly because the visibility was reduced to zero.
A great time was had by all (er..... 'both', to be more exact) and we hope
to do it again from EN23 before too long.
73,
Rolf NR0T and
Taty OA4ABC (antenna rotator)
