- * OSCAR SKN BEST FISTS *
- ========================
- Many thanks to all who participated in our 22nd Annual Straight Key Night
- on OSCAR, 1 January 1994. The following "Best Fist" nominations have been
- received: W1NU, WQ3Y and W6HDO. Although we didn't ask that logs be
- submitted, several participants also reported working AMSAT-NA's esteemed
- president, W3XO/5, in one of Bill's rare appearances on CW (PVRC members
- especially will appreciate the significance of this occasion). An
- "honorary" Best Fist nomination goes to you, Bill; let's hope that more SSB
- ops will follow your fine example, dust off their old pump handles, and
- enjoy the fun.
-
- See you all next year!

- * OSCAR-13 ZRO TEST SKED *
- ==========================
- The ZRO Memorial Technical Achievement Award Program, or just "ZRO Test"
- has a new schedule for February and March, 1994, via AMSAT-OSCAR-13. This
- activity is a test of operating skill and equipment performance.
-
- During a typical ZRO run, a control station will send numeric code groups
- using CW at 10 words-per-minute. At the beginning of the run, uplink power
- from the control station is set to match the general beacon downlink
- strength. This is level "zero". The control operator will send and repeat
- a random five-digit number, then lower his uplink power by 3 dB (half power)
- and repeat the procedure with a new random number (level "1"). This will
- continue to a level 30 dB below the beacon (level "A").
-
- A participating listener monitors the downlink signals till he can no longer
- copy the numbers. Those who can hear the beacon will qualify for the basic
- award by copying the code group heard at level "zero". The challenge is to
- improve home-station performance to a point where the lower-level downlink
- signals can be copied (levels 6 through A). To date, only one station
- (Darrel Emerson, AA7FV) has successfully copied level "A".
-
- The following schedule of Mode "B" tests were chosen for convenient
- operating times and favorable squint angles. The tests can be heard on
- 145.840 MHz. Andy WA5ZIB will conduct all the tests. Mode "JL" tests will
- no longer occur due to the failure of AO-13's 70-cm transmitter.
-
- Day Date (UTC) Time Areas covered

- Note that the dates and days are shown in "UTC", thus the first test listed
- occurs at 9:30 PM CST Saturday night (the 19th). Any changes will be
- announced as soon as possible via the AMSAT HF and AO-13 Operations Nets.
-
- All listener reports with date of test and numbers copied should be sent to
- Andy MacAllister WA5ZIB, AMSAT V.P. User Operations, 14714 Knights Way Drive,
- Houston, TX 77083-5640. A report will be returned verifying the level of
- accurate reception. An S.A.S.E. is appreciated but not required.

- Information about the AMSAT Awards Program can be found on page 197 of the
- "Proceedings of the AMSAT-NA Tenth Space Symposium" (1992). This paper,
- covering all the AMSAT-NA awards including specifics on the ZRO Test, was
- reprinted on page 10 in the March/April 1993 issue of "The AMSAT Journal".
- The ZRO Test information provided in the article covers test procedures,
- means for obtaining certificates and gives some historical background
- about the program. Reprints of the article can be obtained for an S.A.S.E.

- * DISCOVERY-MIR RADIO LINK *
- ============================
- The Space Shuttle Discovery's crew and the MIR Russian space station made an
- Amateur Radio contact on 08-Feb-94 during a period of time when Discovery
- was over the south Pacific and MIR was over the Caribbean.
-
- "We fly during a lot of time with Sergej and I wish a good work with his
- North American collegues, and a not problems return to the Earth", said
- Valery Polyakov one of the MIR cosmonauts. "Thanks, I heard you perfect",
- replied Krikalev in Russian.

- * AMSAT HF PBBS *
- =================
- WT0N-3 in St. Paul, MN, USA will be on 10.127 LSB (30 meters) Monday
- through Saturday from 1600 UTC until 23OO UTC. This station will carry
- all AMSAT bulletins and Keps. It will also carry other satellite related
- items such as "SpaceNews". This PBBS will be set up on 300 baud HF packet,
- but will also be available for AMTOR or PACTOR operations if there is a need
- to do so. At this time, the PBBS will be set up as an experiment and any
- comments and suggestions should be directed to the sysop, BJ Arts, WT0N, at
- any one of the following addresses:

- * FO-20 SCHEDULE *
- ==================
- The FO-20 command station announced that a slight malfunction in the onboard
- command system had been detected. As a result, analog mode operation
- arranged from 09-Feb-94 will be performed on schedule, but there is a
- possibility of interruption due to satellite ground station control.
-
- The present schedule is as announced before:
-
- Analog mode:
- 09-Feb-94 07:15 -to- 16-Feb-94 07:40 UTC

-
- The warranty on the FT-530 is 1 year. Whether you return the radio because
- of the DTMF squelch would really depend on whether or not you; a) want a radio
- that functions according to it's specification and/or b) might want to use
- the feature at some future date. I have never really used DTMF squelch but
- it bothered me that the radio was "defective". Since it was under warranty,
- the total cost to fix it now was the cost of shipping. If I waited a year,
- the price would rise to at least $156! If I discover any other problems,
- I will certainly return it again if the warranty is still in effect. It
- might also give me a better resale price since I can point out that the
- radio has had all factory improvements performed. As for jumper 13, I had
- removed it but was told by Yaesu that this was an authorized modification.
- Yaesu does publish this modification and I believe a copy is available
- for the asking.
-
- Hope this answers your questions...
