To: ham-space@ucsd.edu Yesterday I worked a VE2-stn on RS-10. I'm looking out for some other dx-stations which would try to make a dx-contact via rs-10. My QTH is in jo61ab (12E and 51N), near Leipzig. Everybody is invited to make up a sket. The max. distance from my QTH covers the east-coast of USA down to Boston. A distance of 5000-6000km from my QTH should be possible. 73's de Karsten - DL3HRT.

Well, if such an FAQ is going to be posted, someone should take responsibility for doing it (either the original author, or a proxy). That way, it's clear who is accepting and merging in changes and feedback. Also, a single poster has knowledge of when it was last posted, and (hopefully) will post it on a regular schedule (not every week, but not just once a year either). Else we may have just a lot of chaos and arguments. Opinions? 73, Paul W.

To: ham-space@ucsd.edu Hello All. Sunday the 20th of March we put up an ground station for AO-13 to show Amateur radio through satellites in a open house of the Technical School of Reykjavik. There is now a working amateur club in this school that hopes to get fundings to buy a rotor and a FT-736R and put up antenna s for satellite work. Now we have up a station witch consists of: FT-736R full-duplex all mode transceiver. RFconcepts 30w in 100W out amlifier on 70cm. ARR. preamplifier on 2m. Yaesu G-5600 az/el Rotor. Tonna 2x9 elements on 2m and 2x19 on 70cm. All the equipment comes from TF3TXT and TF3BNT. We are going to operate AO-13, AO-10, AO-21, AO-27, from the 20th of march, and hopefully to friday the 25th. After that I (TF3BNT) and TF3TXT are going to put up our Mode-B gear and be active all summer, Allso look for TF8ITT, Ps. We are going to be active on MODE-S later in the summer. (we hope). As soon as the weather conditions get better, We will put up our gear and be ready for action. :-) So I say 73 de TF3BNT My adress is : Benedikt Sveinsson TF3BNT Hateigsveg 2 105 Reykjavik Iceland e-mail : bnt@rhi.hi.is 73 CUL on AO-10,AO-13,AO-21,AO-27 and PHASE 3D hopfully someday. ------------------------------ Date: (null) From: (null) SB KEP ARL ARLK011 ARLK011 Keplerian data Thanks to NASA, AMSAT and N3FKV for the following Keplerian data.
