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.

Hello Max,
You can try http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm
Clicking on 'FM Voice Sat' Icon you tracht only those satellites.
Passes are given graphically in your local time for your location, as
well as the frequencies to use for receive/transmit/beacon updated by
Doppler.
Good Luck with the birds.

Fred,
I would guess most use RF sense switched mast-head preamps since they
are using radios with a single antenna connector. But some folks
modify the radio so the Rx has an independent antenna input isolated
from the Tx so they can run a separate coax line to a simple preamp
and use a coax relay on the antenna side of the preamp. This
requires a separate coax run to the Tx output.
This second approach is not uncommon approach for those involved in
serious weak-signal VHF+ operating (which includes eme). I have both
approaches at my station. I have several DEMI transverters that
provide separate Tx and Rx antenna connection so a simple remote
located preamp with TR relay can be used.
But I also have a FT-736R (unmodified) which can use a yagi with Rf
sense-switched preamp and only requires one coax run. I do have
external switching control line to that preamp which will require
adding ext. PTT from the FT-736R. I originally used preamps for 144
& 432 with separate TR relays for my AO-40 era satellite set up and
will be restoring that this summer. This will require modifying my FT-736R.
I use a station control panel with integrated sequencer, but that was
done for eme and other weak-signal operation (not specifically for
satellite). My satellite control ckts will utilize the sequencer
(which provides extra protection to the preamps - but not normally
used by satellite stations.

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

Hi Fred,
With most satellite operation being somewhat weak, a preamp at the
antenna is best. I put mine where the flex cable from the antenna
couples to the hardline going down to the shack, and use the outdoor
models for weather protection. RF sense switching is not needed in
theory (most satellite operation is cross-band), but it's good
protection for the inevitable inadvertent mis-configuration down in the
shack. Also needed if you do terrestrial work.
You didn't ask, but I supply power to the preamps separate from the
coax, because the lightning protection devices I have are DC-blocking.
Of course, that separate wire should be protected too, and (currently!)
isn't. I think if I could have used the rig's internal preamp power,
the sequencing of power would be handled automatically.
I believe my 2m preamp is from SSB Electronics. The 70cm one (a
ham-swap find) might be from ARR. Both have been up there for years, no
problems.

Simply launching the TQSL application should inform you that a new

of my UKube-1 contacts with the new SAT_NAME parameter UKUBE1. No

Unfortunately we can't see whether or not the serial number is 5 or 7

Unfortunately a lot of 5 digit serial numbers desense themselves as well...
I know, I have gone through two different 5 digit models without success.
The real way to tell is if a soft mod (pushing some buttons on the keypad)
will open up the radio to 800 Mhz receive. When they were forced to removed
the 800 Mhz capability, that is when they changed the filtering and the
desense on Mode J began.
Extended RX soft mod: Extended receive range (adds 300mhz and 800mhz range,
mirrors celluar at 961.11-986.10)
A. Turn off HT
B. Hold down Main, Band, Call & Squelch while turning on HT.

While I was getting ready to activate a NO-84 Station here. I noticed my
computer logging program had a small glitch with trying to log a contact
on this bird.
we got it semi worked out, it was the designator for the mode. ya know
like Mode "A" or mode "J" etc.
The program writer has many, but it did not have what this NO-84 is
running and from what I see here,
Designator

*A*
*V*
*U*
*L*
*S*
*S2*
*C*
*X*
*K*
*R*

Frequency
(General) 21 MHz 29 MHz 145 MHz 435 MHz 1.2 GHz 2.4 GHz 3.4 GHz
5 GHz 10 GHz 24 GHz 47 GHz
I'm guessing it would be mode "AU"?
Now he was asking for a as complete list as possible of all modes that
are possible, can anyone tell me what to tell him? he wants to add them
all to his software.

I was referring to the chart on the wiki page, that lists the letters
for the modes.
