Passa på att köra OS-stationen 2012W via satellit så länge OS pågår!

Olympic Flagship Special Event Station 2 Oscar 12 Whiskey (2o12W)
has been active on the amateur radio satellites working stations
in the USA and across Europe.

The 2o12W satellite station has been operated by Ken Eaton, GW1FKY
a member of the Barry Amateur Radio Club and AMSAT-UK.

The satellite equipment comprises a Kenwood TS2000 feeding a 5 ele-
ment dual-band “Elk” antenna mounted on a rotator on the portable
cabin about 2.5 meters (8 feet) above the ground.

Ken says the station is located on the promenade and the many elec-
trical amusements in the Fairground generate considerable interfer-
ence on the VHF/UHF bands which has made reception difficult.

The station 2o12W is planned to be on-the-air until September.

I avsaknad av AO-51 får man börja aktivera sig på SO-50 och AO-27.

Ett fint exempel på satellitkontakter med enkel utrustning förevisas i det här klippet.

AMSAT-SM har fått senaste numret av AMSAT-DL Journal.
Denna gång bla. en intressant artikel om hur man bygger en Arrow-antenn, ARISSat-1 information, om geostationära satelliter mm.

Som vanligt skickar jag ut tidningen till den som först anmäler sitt intresse (gärna någon annan en Anders SM0DZL denna gång, hi! )

Lite “off-topic” men intressant om lysande nattmoln.
