SO50 har nu ven hrts p handapparat och gummipinne!
Avstndet till satelliten var vid tillfllet 1000km, och det betyder ju att man br kunna kra den med en enkel handhllen yagi och duobands handapparat.
Trafiken r betydligt lugnare n p den andra FM satelliten UO14 s det blir lite mer som ett vanligt lugnt QSO.

Nytt schema igen med fljande kommentar:
The schedule has been changed slightly to put the beacon-only portion of the K-band session at the end of the session, rather than the beginning. If you are operating using the S-band downlink during the K-band session, PLEASE try to be more than 25 KHz from the middle beacon and reduce power.

Nytt schema och nya kepler fr augusti. Fljande info frn Stacey.
K Band downlinks have now restarted around apogee. Note that from MA 124 to 126 the passbands are off. The K Band transmitter has a hard-limiting AGC. Please reduce uplink power when the K band transmitter is active. CW, especially, should be very low power to prevent distorting the K band downlink.

SM2BYA har lyckats f mjlighet att kra EME frn en jtteparabol i hst och det betyder att mnga satellitoperatrer har chansen att f ett QSO via mnen.
Det hr r en chans som knappast kommer igen.

Good news – the JW/SM2BYA 432 MHz EME operation is going to go ahead:
About a month ago we filed a scheduling request for the EISCAT Svalbard Radar 32-meter antenna for the weekend October 18-19, 2003, ie the first ARRL EME contest weekend.
It now appears there is about a 95 % likelihood for us to get the full contiguous 48-hour time slot from Oct. 18 00 UT to Oct. 19 24 UT ! This is much better than we ever dared hope for…
This operation will be predominantly CW and some SSB. Sorry, no JT44 and no skeds. Since Oct. 18/19 is one of the busiest contest weekends of the year,we have decided to pick a transmitting frequency and a listening band high
up in the CW segment, to minimise the risk of mutual interference between our operation and the regular contest traffic. The plan is for JW/SM2BYA to use 432.073 MHz for transmitting and .075 – .080 for receiving.
No SSB frequencies have been selected yet. To comply with the Region I band-plan, any SSB operation should be above 432.150. We are aware of the problems that may result because of the non-alignment of the band-plans in Regions II and III and are still thinking about how to handle the issue.
Due to the high latitude (78 N) the moon will be continuously above the horizon for the whole 48-hour contest period, so everybody should have a fair chance at
a contact.
The ESR antenna has about 41 dBi gain at 432, so two long yagis and 50 watts should be enough for a CW QSO with JW/SM2BYA. Please spread the word to terrestrial 432 operators !
