- Went into Radio Shack the other day, to see if their discone antenna looked
- like a worth-while investment as a broadband TX/RX antenna. They didn't
- have one in stock.
-
- In any case, I saw the '94 catalog and asked for one. "That'll be three
- dollars" says the sales droid. "What?" says I, "you're charging for them?"
- "We are this year," he replies. Seeing coupons for about eight bucks in
- the front, I fork over the cash.
-
- "Last four digits of your phone number?" he says.
-
- "That'll be three dollars," I reply.
-
- "Pardon?" he says, confused.
-
- "I'm charging for mailing-list information --- this year," I reply.
-
- He didn't pay.

-
- Some questions first. How far apart are the readings and what are the
- specifications on the individual meters. If you assume there is a large
- difference then something else may be wrong. If the difference is small
- it could still be within the spec of the meter.
-
- One thing you can do is find a meter that has been calibrated recently
- say from a friend or at work and check the meters against it. Using
- mercury cells can be tricky and not all meters are alike.

- SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.025
- SAREX Keps & Update: 10/28
-
- Thursday 10/28/93 @ 08:00 UTC
-
- The last school group contact was completed yesterday. The Portsmouth HS
- in Portsmouth, New Hampshire had a telebridge contact using stations in
- California (Ralph Warner, N6MNN) and Texas (Bob Douglas, W5GEL). The
- students asked 5 questions during this bridge contact.
-
- Hams across the U.S. and around the world continue to work the Shuttle
- Columbia on both voice and packet. Moreover, the completion of school
- group contacts has cleared several school backup passes for possible
- general QSO opportunities. While the SAREX Working Group cannot fully
- guarantee availability, there is a high probability that the STS-58 crew
- will be ready to take general calls over the continental U.S. on these
- passes. Two of these "scheduled" passes remain. These include orbit
- 178 at MET 11 days 1 hour 42 minutes (10/29 at 16:35 UTC) and orbit 192
- at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC). Please note
- that the astronauts operated voice during yesterday's "scheduled" pass
- which occurred on 10/27 at 14:59 UTC (Orbit 145). Also note that hams on
- the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia crew on several other orbits
- yesterday.
-
- Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, is the official SAREX
- set for today. Please note that there is only a six second difference
- between element set GSFC-025 (released two days ago) and element set GSFC-
- 031.

- Inclination: 39.0252 deg

- Epoch rev: 138 Perigee Alt: 264.25 Km
-
-
- NOTE - This element set is based on NORAD element set # 031.
- The spacecraft has been propagated to the next ascending
- node, and the orbit number has been adjusted to bring it
- into agreement with the NASA numbering convention.

- SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.025
- SAREX Keps & Update: 10/28
-
- Thursday 10/28/93 @ 08:00 UTC
-
- The last school group contact was completed yesterday. The Portsmouth HS
- in Portsmouth, New Hampshire had a telebridge contact using stations in
- California (Ralph Warner, N6MNN) and Texas (Bob Douglas, W5GEL). The
- students asked 5 questions during this bridge contact.
-
- Hams across the U.S. and around the world continue to work the Shuttle
- Columbia on both voice and packet. Moreover, the completion of school
- group contacts has cleared several school backup passes for possible
- general QSO opportunities. While the SAREX Working Group cannot fully
- guarantee availability, there is a high probability that the STS-58 crew
- will be ready to take general calls over the continental U.S. on these
- passes. Two of these "scheduled" passes remain. These include orbit
- 178 at MET 11 days 1 hour 42 minutes (10/29 at 16:35 UTC) and orbit 192
- at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC). Please note
- that the astronauts operated voice during yesterday's "scheduled" pass
- which occurred on 10/27 at 14:59 UTC (Orbit 145). Also note that hams on
- the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia crew on several other orbits
- yesterday.
-
- Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, is the official SAREX
- set for today. Please note that there is only a six second difference
- between element set GSFC-025 (released two days ago) and element set GSFC-
- 031.
