SO-50 kontrollstationer över EU

Frgor och svar om SO-50.

> Anyone can report me what is the status of the SO-50 satellite? I ve been trying to listen or even operate and no luck till now. I used the frequencies from AMSAT s satellite status page and 67Hz TONE on uplink.<
************************************

SO-50 is in good health and it is easy to access the satellite. However,SO-50 needs to be opened by a controlstation before you can operate the Sat.

There are (I believe) 3 controlstations in UK and 2 in DL. I am one of these. If the satellite comes from a direction where no controlstation is it is most probably not switched on.

If you like to become a controlstation you have to apply at Don Woodward KD4APP, who is SO-50 Control Operator
Coordinator. His e-mail is dbwoodw at alltel.net .

As the table below demonstrates, the mystery effect has taken A0-40 into highly unfavorable ALON. Attempts at communication are likely to be futile until conditions improve in early and mid July. Note that unfortunately
optimum squint in late July corresponds with a very bad solar angle….stay tuned.

On Saturday May 8th AMSAT-DL had its General Assembly in Marburg.

Approx,90 members have taken the opportunity to learn about the projects P5A and P3E, and they could have a look at the finished structure of P3E in the integrations room.

SO-50 aktivitet

YL Latvia SO-50 report

G0SFJ operated on SO-50 as YL/G0SFJ /QRP/P from Latvia on Sunday 25 April with a THD7E (5W) and an Arrow.

On the first pass from 0834- 0843 utc I worked G8ATE,G7HIA, EB3GND (bestDX) and G3LGR but then the satellite seemed to shut down on me and I could
not get in.

On the second pass (1014 + utc) I could hear many G stations calling me but could not access the satellite myself (it was an 85 deg pass over the UK).

I missed the third pass – 1157 + utc for a late lunch (utc +3)

At the fourth pass 13:39 + utc, again I could hear but could not get in.

The lucky 4 will get a QSL card from my PC printer, as will any SWL who can report the 6 figure locator square I gave

Thanks to NSC-ARS (GB2NSC) for the loan of the THD7E.Thanks again to Gunnars YL2PG and his XYL Anita for all their support.
