For the annual Appalachian Golden Packet event this Saturday, we still
need someone with a D700 or D710 to drive up to the Hawksbill Observation
point and provide a very critical digipeater in the 4 hour event.  (Maine
to Ga APRS packet exchange).

This site is East of Harrisonburg on I-81 and SW of Manassas, VA.  See:
http://aprs.org/hamtrails/hawksbill.html
Actually, we have a volunteer but he does not have a D700 or D710 radio to
be the digipeater (both 1200 and 9600 baud).

It's a 4 hour event form 1100 on Saturday until we make the link or no
later than 1500.
Bob, Wb4aPR

I will be in DN46 from July 21-14 and will attempt contacts.

I am restarting in ham satellites (last contact was in 2003 or so from
BP64) with the same Arrow antenna and Icom Z1A.

Bear with me as I fiddle and fumble.

What do you all suggest as the best sats to operate?

I'm trying to replace my panadapter display program HDSDR that I use with my
Pat V boarded IC-9100, with SDR Console. I'm trying to get SDR Console
running with SatPC32's DDE interface, if possible.  Now I'm not tying to add
the SDRPlay as a receiver, as it's connected to the 9100 through the pat V
board, all I want to do is have it follow the 9100 RX. As I'm new to SDR
Console does anyone know of where I can find some documentation on how to do
this ? Thanks.

 Of the FM satellites, AO-91 and AO-92 are the easiest to work, due to their
strong downlinks. AO-92 is usually switched to L/v mode starting on Saturday
evening for 24 hours; when in this mode, the uplink is in L-band.?AO-85 is
currently offline.?SO-50 is a little more challenging to work, as it has a
weaker downlink. PO-101 is not continuously activated for amateur use; you
can find the weekly PO-101 activation schedules on?Diwata2PH (@?????????? |
Twitter. The AMSAT OSCAR Status page (AMSAT OSCAR Satellite Status) is a
great crowdsourced resource to see the status of the active satellites.?

When you're ready to get into the linear transponder satellites, the CAS-4
and XW-2 birds are the easiest to work, again due to their strong downlinks.?

 For Icom Z1A, the choice would be AO-91 and AO-92,
followed by SO-50 and AO-85 when possible.

Greetings,
Sometimes I have kids and would-be-hams watching me wide-eyed work the FM
sats and I wished I could get some of them on the pass too.?

So the question is, is it legal to allow them do it with me as the control
operator handling the PTT ?
on a not-so-busy pass, of course !


Thanks and 73,
