Members of the Great South Bay ARC headed by Mike Sartoretti, KC2SYF,
have obtained a permit from the National Park Service to operate from
President?s Park (The White House) for the ARRL National Parks on the
Air event. The operating location will be the southeast side of the
Ellipse. The call sign for the operation will be KC2SYF and the park
designator is DZ10.
Paul Stoetzer, N8HM, will be providing satellite operations and will
be active on all voice satellites (SSB/FM) from 1400 UTC to 2100 UTC
on Friday, August 5th and Saturday, August 6th. The pass list is
below:

I just took a second and notified him on echolink. He said he would move
frequency and was not aware of the satellite.

Hi folks,
I am in the process of trying to set up a station here and have been
researching equipment. While I suspect there will be a fair amount of
variety, I am curious to the responses to my question:
Do you use the relatively less expensive ?indoor? NON RF switching preamps
in an enclosure near the antennas (on the tower) with RF relays and with a
sequencer in the shack (do the preamps holdup up on the tower even if
protected?) OR
Do you use RF sensing preamps mounted at the tower OR
Both (for those that are extra careful)? I suspect operators that do other
VHF/UHF low signal work tend toward sequencers (one for 2 meters and one for
440), i.e. moon bounce, meteor scatter, etc.
Also, I am curious what type/brand/model of RF relays folks use?
As usual, I really appreciate your time.
Best,
Fred Castello, KF4FC

Sequencers are generally only needed for high power operations over a few
hundred watts, which are inappropriate on satellite. I think you'll find
most of us use RF switched preamps at the antenna, with a few using them in
the shack but with very good feedline.

You might also like this sat tracking link.
http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm?localat=28.5208&localon=-81.2917#
It is a one stop shop which not only shows the sat passes, but also lists
the frequencies and inversion aspects. It's actually a pretty amazing page
that is quite new. Kudos to the programmer for building a fantastic page.

It's a GREAT page. The author just added a column that shows the
countdown to AOS. Be sure to set your WW loc at the bottom and then
pull up the satellite page to narrow down the list of spacecraft that
you are interested in.
Great work by AMSAT-LU!

Subject: [amsat-bb] PJ6Y from Saba (FK87jp)

PJ6Y (11 year old AE4FH at the mic) is QRV from Saba (FK87jp) at 15:57:48
EDT today.
It's an 89 degree pass here in Saba so not too much coverage into NA.
Our QTH is 1300 feet ASL and faces north. We should have several great
passes in the next week. We will definitely be on SO-50 and FO-29. We will
attempt AO-85 and Lilacsat.
This is the only SO-50 pass we will do with NA coverage from here today.

The ARRL has informed me that TQSL configuration file version 9.3 will
be released shortly adding support for UKube-1 in LoTW.
Due to character limitations, the satellite name for LoTW will be "UKUBE1"
