Thought I would pass something along to the group, and see if anyone is
interested.
While I have been working on perfecting my dual HT handheld satellite
operation methods, I discovered that I simply don't have enough hand's,
ears, and eye's for everything. With this limitation in mind, I designed a
simple circuit board to interface a headset with a pair of HT's, and an
audio recorder.
The board as designed can interface to a pair of FT-60's via 3.5mm TRRS
cables, or a VX-8 with Yaesu's CT-M11 cable. RX audio is sent to a stereo
headset (in mono, of course) and to one channel of a stereo recorder.
Microphone audio from the headset mic is sent to the TX radio and to the
other channel of the stereo recorder. This way, the recorder should capture
both sides of the QSO without issue. The recorder has 2 pot's for level
adjustment of both the TX and RX audio levels to the recorder. I also
included a trimpot to adjust the bias level of the microphone, should one
wish to lower it for any reason, as well as a header to install a PTT
switch. My plan was to mount a momentary switch on a handle I plan to make
for my arrow antenna.
I will have 2 extra boards available in a few weeks time when they get back
from my board fab house. If anyone is interested, I can drop one of these
extra's in the mail, and I would ask for about $25 for them. I can make
more if there is a large interest from the group.
Enjoy.
Mike, AE0MT.

I'm going to travel to FM13 tomorrow. I'll try to get there in time for the
1749 UTC AO-85 pass. There are four more SO-50 and AO-85 passes after that
that I'll try to work.
I'll send exact pass times for the other four later but I just wanted to
get this out sooner so if people need the grid they can be prepared.

GS3PYE/P Camb-Hams on Islay Island Includes Satellite Operation
Members of the Camb-Hams will once again be active as GS3PYE/P,
but this time from Islay Island between May 6-12th. The Camb-
Hams have been activating the Scottish Isles each year since
2008.
As in the past, ten or more operators will be active on
all bands and many modes from 4m to 80m, 2m & 70cm for Satellites
and 2m & 23cm for EME.
The HF bands will be covered by four simultaneous stations while
the 6m & 4m stations will have a great take-off towards the UK
and Europe. All stations will be able to run at the full UK power
limit.
EME operations will use 150W to 55 elements on 23cm and 400W to
17 elements on 2m, primarily on JT65, but also available for CW
skeds - if your station is big enough.
Satellite operations on 2m & 70cm will use X-Quad antennas and a
fully automatic Az/El tracking system. Activity is planned on AO-7
(mode B), FO-29, SO-50, AO-85 & AO-73.
All the up-to-date plans and progress will be on-line at
http://dx.camb-hams.com. Most importantly, this is a group of good
friends doing what they enjoy, so please give them a call and
enjoy the trip with them.
Active on the major social networks before, during and after the
trip, you can check on progress and interact with the operators
via their blog on http://dx.camb-hams.com or through the Twitter,
Facebook and YouTube links below:

I'm not feeling the energy to do the additional driving required to
complete this goal I set yesterday. Additionally my event just ended, much
later than expected.
But I will activate it at some point in the future as I grew up in
Wilmington, which is maybe 20-30 min from FM13, and my parents still live
there. So I should be able to activate it the next time I visit them.

be updated correctly.

After checking passes and travel times for tomorrow, it looks like the only
possible pass for the EM42/52 line tomorrow will be the 1505z FO-29. I'll
do my best to be on that pass, but keep in mind this is all dependent on
what time we get into the area.
If I can make it, I'll transmit fixed at 145.930 +/- for QRM.
I'll post updates on twitter.com/kk4fem

Fellow Satelliteers,
My fiancee has requested my presence for a few weeks in July. I can't
afford the vacation time or the money to visit her in HS-land and do the
grid expedition in May. So, the grid expedition will have to wait until the
fall, and it will likely be a shorter trip because there won't be enough
time to build up sufficient vacation hours. That's the way it goes.
I will still be getting away for weekend expeditions in the coming months.
FN27/28 comes to mind. We have a long weekend up here the third weekend in
May. I'll see what I can do then!
