Herman,
I,for one, would be interested in the .stl files that would enable me to
build a replica of your satellite. I can take DOT STL files throug GCODE to
build something (not flyable) in PLA plastic, if you would like to provide
them. At the moment I only have? a small copy of AAUSAT. I think they would
be a great educational resource.

I started working some of the LEO SSB satellites again recently and came
across a broadband preamp that is sold by AMSAT. Here is the link:
http://store.amsat.org/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=118
Has anyone here used this before? Perhaps this would help me 'hear' a
little better with my Arrow antenna, and I could use it for V/U and U/V
modes. For those of you that operate with an Arrow, do you use this preamp
or some other preamp? It appears there are other preamps out there that
are more expensive, but require one per band (V or U). This one will cover
both - seems like a good option, just wanted to get your thoughts.
Thanks! Dave N2TEB

David,
I bought one a couple of years ago and used it while in Colombia with my
Arrow, FT-817, and FT-857. It worked well for my FO-29 contacts.
Do heed the warning about transmit protection, in swapping radios/coax I
forgot to switch the preamp and the 857 at 10W blew the preamp,
fortunately it was at the end of the trip!
My thoughts, if you're going to use something with an Arrow in an easy
setup where you don't have remote/automatic switching and you're
possibly portable and such, it seems like a good place to start because
if you do mess up it's less of a loss dollar-wise. Just be sure to be
sure before you transmit. If/when you set up something more permanent,
as you said there are much better but more expensive options.
Jerry Buxton, N?JY

PAYMENT DUE
If you are attending the 2016 AMSAT Symposium Carnival cruise, your
final payment is likely due. The majority of our accounts were due
September 12.
If your scheduled payment method fails, Carnival will attempt to
contact you by phone or email.
Please take a moment to ensure your final payment has been made.
CARNIVAL ACCOUNT
If you have not registered on the Carnival website to supply your
guest information, you should consider doing so by going to the link
below and choosing "Create Account."
https://www.carnival.com/BookedGuest/guestmanagement/mycarnival/logon
Signing up on their website allows you to pre-enter required boarding
information, schedule shore excursions for Cozumel, and set payment
method for onboard purchases. Non-USA passengers, this is the best
method to enter all your passport details.
Please reply directly to me off-BB if you have any questions. I am
inundated with email at the moment so it may be 24-48 hours before I
reply.
Thank you,

I use it for portable operations with my Arrow antenna. For my home setup
I use an ARR rf-switched preamp on the 70 cm antenna. Heed Jerry N0JY's
warnings about never transmitting through the amsat one. You will burn it
out every time!

The documentation for the preamp is here:
http://store.amsat.org/catalog/docs/preamp.pdf
The limited testing described in the documentation shows 15 - 20 dB of gain.
The preamp is based on the MAR7 amplifier. The typical noise figure of
that device is 5.0 dB per these specifications:

4. How is the outer space? Is it nice?
5. What kind of work do you do in the ISS, and what is the purpose?
6. What was the most dangerous mission that you have confronted?
7. What is the ISS speed?
8. How many times does the ISS spend to turn around the Earth?
9. How is a common day in the Station?
10. Have you ever seen an UFO, or any strange object?

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more
information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.

For portable operation the switched ARR pre-amps, as have been mentioned,
are a good option. But don't take them out in the rain!
For weather-proof mast-mounted pre-amps, I've had very good luck with the
Mini-2 and Mini-70 GaAsFET pre-amps from SHF-Elektronik in Germany
(http://www.shf-elektronik.de/en/). At current exchange rates, these are
roughly the same price as the ARR, and considerably cheaper than some other
mast-mount alternatives. The IC-9100 powers them through the coax without
the need for any other supply.
I have no affiliation with the company, but they've been working flawlessly
for me for a couple of years now at my home station.--

I started working some of the LEO SSB satellites again recently and came
across a broadband preamp that is sold by AMSAT. Here is the link:

Has anyone here used this before? Perhaps this would help me 'hear' a
little better with my Arrow antenna, and I could use it for V/U and U/V
modes. For those of you that operate with an Arrow, do you use this preamp
or some other preamp? It appears there are other preamps out there that
are more expensive, but require one per band (V or U). This one will cover
both - seems like a good option, just wanted to get your thoughts.
