Rapport från årsmötet

rsmtet 2003 p Telemuseet i Stockholm lockade 11 deltagare. Sjlva mtet gick fort och en avvikelse frn valberedningens frslag r att Ingemar, SM0AIG, inte stller upp p omval. Ingemar kommer dock att fortstta vara redaktr fr AMSAT-SM INFO, vilket vi tackar fr. Som valberedning valdes Ingemar SM0AIG och Stefan SM0PHK.

Medlemsavgiften beslutades till 150 kr fr 2004. Under vriga frgor freslog Ingemar att AMSAT-SM skulle ordna en fieldday eller liknande.

Efter mtet berttade Olle, SM0DY, om Oscar 40 – allt frn uppskjutningen, olyckan och banan.

Till sist en personlig kommentar: 11 personer kom till mtet varav mer n hlften p ngot stt redan r inblandade i styrelsearbetet. Helt klart r rsmtet inget som lockar den vanlige medlemmen. AMSAT-SM behller sin medlemsniv p ca. 300 personer s visst verkar det finnas ett intresse fr freningen. r ett stt kanske att hlla nsta rsmte virtuellt p Internet, om det gr att lsa tekniskt. Kanske ngot att fundera p?

AMSAT News Service Bulletin 075.01 From AMSAT HQ
Silver Spring, MD. March 16, 2003
To All Radio Amateurs
BID: $ANS-075.01

AO-40 nominal ALON/ALAT is now 20 / 0. LON/ALAT will be slowly moved to 30/0 in the next week.

Given the worsening squints as we move ALON/ALAT, we have terminated the -Tx sessions until early summer when conditions improve.

Because of the poor squint angles early in the orbit the passband window ow starts at MA =80. It still ends at MA = 230 to allow time for battery harging before perigee eclipse.

The complete schedule is shown in the table below:

The command team also reminds all Users to maintain a clear area 25 kHz above and below the Middle Beacon.

S-band -> K Tx test conducted on Saturday, 15 March 2003, was a success. Report to follow from participants.

CORRECTION:
Several weeks ago, during the testing of the S1 receiver, It was indicated that the S2 receiver was connected to the 5-turn helix. This is not correct. Both S-band receivers are connected to the dish antenna. Only the S2 transmitter is connected to the 5-turn helix.

[ANS thanks Stacey, W4SM and Colin, VK5HI, for the above information]

AMSAT-SM på loppis i Eskilstuna

I samband med att jag beskte loppisen i Eskilstuna den 8:e mars 2003 passade jag p att gra lite reklam fr AMSAT-SM. Tidningen INFO och infobladet Gulingen delades ut vilket var populrt, ca. 50 tidningar gick t.

Det blev dock enbart en ny medlem (vlkommen SM5TSP/Lars) men en amatrradio-loppis r kanske inte rtt forum att hitta nya medlemmar p, de flesta r nog dr fr att fynda eller slja!

Andra AMSAT-personer som jag sg dr var Henry SM5BVF och vr ELMER, Gran SM5UFB.

S/K-bandstester, nytt schema

Nyheter frn AMSAT-DL i Tyskland:

We are tentatively scheduling a second test of the S-Rx uplink to K-Tx downlink, tomorrow, 3/14, from MA 192 to 200. During this time, the S2 Tx will be OFF and downlink will be on K-band only, using S1 or S2 Rx uplink. Given the worsening squint, this will likely be the last test of this link until conditions improve in the early summer.
Please report your results to the amsat-bb.
