I've tried listening for the HF net on 20m, but never hear much. Anyone
know if it is still active?

The 20M AMSAT net used to be on Sundays at 1900Z on 14.282 MHz with Keith
W5IU and Larry W7LB as net control. W7LB is a silent key now; W5IU hasn't
seemed to be active on the net lately. Or, propagation on 20M has been poor.

When you're out of range of the Houston repeaters, the Houston AMSAT Net
also simulcasts on Echolink node *AMSAT* 101377. Tuesday evening at 2000
Central Time (year round at 2000 regular time or daylight time) Same great

Hello!
Of course I was happy to see the announcement that PO-101, AISAT-1, & the
FT4 mode had been added to TQSL. So, this morning I got caught up on the
entries that I had not previously been able to log.
Unfortunately, none of them are showing up in LoTW.
I thought perhaps the system was backed up, but I just submitted a contact
for an ?old? satellite, and that showed up with a minute or two.
Does anyone know if there?s a problem with the LoTW database, or am I just
not doing something correctly?
Thanks!

Last week Mac Cody posted the question about volunteers for the AMSAT
presence at Plano Texas Ham-Com on the 7th and 8th of June.
Yes there will be AMSAT involvement. We have a table in the main hallway,
right next to the National Weather Service. We will be doing demos and will
have scheduled presentations. We always can use people help with any one of
those activities.
Please contact myself, or Keith Pugh W5IU for more information.

Seems to be a problem with my account's QSO view. Now that some others
have uploaded PO-101 contacts, I can find QSL matches with specific queries
but "some" of my uploads apparently didn't process correctly.
I found this in the activity history in my LoTW account from this morning's
upload:
LOTW_QSO: Processing terminated with an unexpected failure. System
administrator has been notified
... so, I've submitted a help request and will see what I can find out.
Thanks!

Hello,
In the past there was a Satellite Interface available via ARRL for the
FT-817, this is no longer the case.
If anyone has one and wants to sell it, I like to buy it.
If anyone has the diagrams, or manual with the instructions and the parts, I
would like a copy so I can see if I can make it myself.
Thanks for reply.

I have an SDRplay RSP1 that I?d like to use as a downlink receiver, along
with an Arrow 146/437-10 antenna and Yaesu G-5400 az/el rotators. Uplink
will be an Icom IC-7000. Using this setup, will the SDRplay need a Front End
Protector to keep it from overloading? If so, which ones are recommended?
Also, I am considering upgrading the antenna to an Alaskan Arrow. Is there a
noticeable improvement in antenna performance and gain between the standard
Arrow and the Alaskan? Would the improvement in gain also result in deeper
fading during spin modulation?

Hey Mike!
I've used the SDRPlay RSP1 as my full-duplex downlink receiver for quite a
while now and it works very well. (both FM & SSB sats)
Filtering is not a bad idea, but is not mandatory. In fact, the reason that
I use the SDRPlay in this particular role is that it does much better
against a 2m or 70cm uplink than the RTL-SDR or AirSpy R2 that I also have.
Has no problem full-duplex w/ a 10m uplink for NO-84 PSK31 either.

Hi Mike!
The SDRplay receivers (all models) have front-end filtering across
the range they are capable of receiving. As long as you aren't
transmitting in the same band as you are receiving with an SDRplay,
you should be fine. If you want additional protection for the SDRplay
when working satellites, a 2m/70cm diplexer can be put in front of
the SDRplay as another layer of protection. Again, the SDRplay is not
protected if you transmit on the same band it is being used to
receive. You won't need to run full power from your IC-7000 for
satellite work. As many use Yaesu's FT-817s and FT-818s to work
satellites, you will be able to scale back on the transmit power
from your IC-7000. Once you get your station set up, you will be
able to test and see how much power is sufficient.
I normally use an Elk 2m/70cm log periodic for my satellite work.
For the SSB satellites, I must use a diplexer so the antenna is
connected to both radios. I have used SDRplay receivers, a FUNcube
Dongle Pro+ SDR receiver, and other radios (FT-817s, the all-mode
receivers in Kenwood TH-F6A and TH-D74 HTs, and all-mode receivers
like an AOR AR8200 and Icom's IC-R20 and IC-R30) in this manner.
The diplexer is another layer of protection for whatever radio I
use as a receiver, along with ensuring I never transmit on the
same band I am receiving with the second radio or SDR receiver.
As for the Alaskan Arrow compared to the standard Arrow, you will
have more gain with the Alaskan Arrow. You will have to be more
accurate in pointing the antenna at the satellites, as the increased
gain reduces the beamwidth from the larger antenna. With any antenna
used at a fixed orientation, you will occasionally have fading that
you'll have to deal with. Signals will fade out, then fade back in.
Good luck, and 73!
