Under April kommer den stora parabolen i Puerto-Rico att aktiveras på 432 Mhz EME.  Signalerna förväntas vara så starka att vi kan höra dom med våra satellitstationer.

Hej,

*ISS
skolkontakt

This direct contact is scheduled Tuesday 6 April 2010 at
10:47 UTC, which is
12.47 CEST.

The ground station will operate with
call sign IZ7EVR.

*ISS
SPACE SHUTTLE SKY SHOW: On Monday morning,
April 5th, thousands of people gathered in Florida to witness the launch of
space shuttle Discovery may get more than they bargained for. Just fifteen
minutes before the shuttle takes off, the International Space Station (ISS)
will fly over the launch site.? The station’s path across the dawn sky takes
it right past the gibbous Moon–a beautiful close encounter!? Photographers
should be prepared for the ISS at 6:06 am EDT followed by Discovery’s launch
at 6:21 am EDT. Sky watchers with iPhones can prepare themselves by
downloading our Simple
Satellite Tracker (http://simpleflybys.com); it will guide you to the ISS
and
count down to the flyby so you can’t miss it.

Hej,

Idag hinner jag inte vara med på nätet 10.00 men postar lite från veckan i förväg.

PS: Ni som är med på 3740 khz framför mina hälsningar.

Problem med kollisioner mellan FM röst och packet användare

I got a lot of responses about problem of digital mode
through HO-68. The main problem is that Packet communication
is often interrupted by voice. We are trying a new schedule
in this week, voice and packet operations will be separated
by the schedule, of course, this just depends on the hams’own
discipline. If you have any comment and suggestion, please
let me know.

Hi all,
I’m very happy to worked KP4AO on 70cm in CW,
signal was outstanding even more with their barefoot TS-2000!
I recorded whole window in mp3 and cut off the strongest part which
is my QSO:
http://ok1teh.nagano.cz/mp3/kp4ao_ok1teh_70cm_1903_2010.mp3
and SSB signal
http://ok1teh.nagano.cz/mp3/kp4ao_ok1vpz_70cm_1903_2010.mp3
(if any interest I’ll put the whole 90min mp3 files at my web)

Tnx for great operation & hope to meet Arecibo once on 23cm!

On Monday, March 22 the Arecibo Observatory Amateur Radio Club will again be looking for EME contacts on 432.045 MHz. The callsign is KP4AO, the locator is FK68oi, and the Monday window is between about 2100 and 2330 UTC. They will again be using both CW and SSB.
