BY70-1 was operable at 20:45 pass over the Finland. Worked IK8XLD, someone
other was trying access but frequency was off of ideal and was not copied.
It has faster qsb for increased spin or something, but signal was good
otherwise. Celestrack TLE was good and accurate within seconds.
Update via http://www.amsat.org/status/ so we have better understanding
when it went to sleep. Now theres only 3 stations marked the status.

Hello Frank,
You could always consider a LNA at the antennas, which sets your system
noise figure early on in the receive chain and allows the use of RG-8X
or similar. It's best to buy a weatherproof LNA and mount it right at
the antenna/rotator with a short section of high-quality, low-loss coax
(or direct connect). You'll want to run DC up the coax to power the LNA,
if possible. Make sure your LNA switches itself out of the way when you
remove power!
Of course, you'll lose power as heat on transmit with the higher-loss
cable, but I wouldn't that is much of a problem with today's radio
output levels.
http://wb0dgf.com/preamp.htm
Remember that you only need enough LNA gain to offset cable losses and
your receiver's noise figure (NF). More than that risks overloading the
front-end of your receiver and causing undesirable non-linear operation
(IMD). A good place to start is about 13-15 dB of gain, if you need a
concrete number.
That's my view on it, and I'm definitely no expert. It works for me.
YMMV. :-)

Frank,
What I did was to use LMR-400 from my radio up to the mast mounted preamp.
>From the preamp there is a 5 ft piece of LMR240UF (ultra flex). 240 is a
high quality thin coax and the "UF" (ultra flex) classification makes it

If you aren't ready for preamps, then you could use a barrel to join the
cables at that point until you find out that you really do need preamps for
a good install.?Michael Vivona

Hello everyone. I just purchased a M2 leopack antenna system and I was
reading about different coax cables to use for low loss. Since I am mounting
the antenna only about 10 feet off the ground, 50 foot will be enough to go
into the shack. I wanted to purchase RG8x but read that the best way to go
is with LMR400. What I dislike about it is that its much wider and very
stiff, and will make it difficult around bends. I also have the Az/alt
rotator which I will have to loop each antenna to have enough for turns. Any
other suggestions out there for an alternative to LMR-400?Thanks?Frank KB2CWN?

At 2249 utc time while tracking BY70-1 on Satpc32, the cross representing
the satellite turned from white to red.. Was this the tracking program
saying that the satellite has now left orbit and has descended to Earth ??
This was over grid RH91 north of New Zealand at a height of 163 Kilometers

Did not want to compete with Jeff. I also have a Kenwood TH-D72A for sale.
Like new, I have used it very little. Has sat on the shelf for most of
its life. Non-smoking home. Have the box and everything that came with
it (except maybe the warranty card). I do not have a speaker mic like
Jeff had. Cable for programming included. Software can be downloaded
from Kenwood's website.
$300 including shipping in Continental U.S. only. Payment via PayPal.

My very first outdoor antennas were connected via Belden 9913, and with
extreme care in installing the N connectors onto the end and to the
antennas, they stayed watertight until a couple of years later when I
accidentally ran a drill into the feedline while trying to enlarge the hole
into the house for more runs of coax. But many people have problems with
water accumulation in Belden 9913 type air dielectric coax so I don't
recommend it. I switched to using LMR-400 and have been pleased with its
performance in an installation that was up without problems for over 10
years. (Never had problems with it, just tore it all down after about 10
years to move from Minnesota to Texas!) As others have mentioned, LMR-400UF
(Ultra-Flex) is an option for less stiffness in the rotator loops.
Personally, I'd go ahead and use the regular LMR-400 and leave generous
rotator loops, and you should be okay. That's how I put together my station
in Minnesota and like I said, I had no problems with the coax in 10 years'
time, before taking it all down to move to a new state. The Ultra-Flex
version has noticeably greater loss than the regular LMR-400, especially in
a 50-foot run on the 70cm (or higher) band. You might compromise by using
LMR-400UF from the antennas to the rotator loops to just below the top of
the tower, then change to regular LMR-400 from there to the rest of the 50
foot run to the radio location. You could even use a short piece of
LMR-240UF for the rotator loop and then regular LMR-400 for the rest of the
run, if you weren't comfortable with the stiffness of your loop.
Good luck with your installation.

I'm working with a university that is launching a UHF half duplex
satellite in a few months and is putting a ground station at U Alaska
Fairbanks. We are planning on a TS2000 for the radio. I've not seen any
new ones pop up lately but thought I'd ask if that one is still a good
choice. Seems considerable overkill for a single UHF freq with 9k6 GMSK
modulation.
