I read alittle while back about being able to operate Ao21 via low power?
If so can anyone give me info on it I'll like to give it a shot
I'm working the grave yardshift so I have the wee hours of the morning to
give it a shot.
I know there was talk about trying it late in the morning when most operators are asleep and not to many big stations are up and running, Any help??

ARLS021 Another SAREX success
Another SAREX success
During the just-completed shuttle mission, STS-59, astronauts Jay
Apt, N5QWL, and Linda Godwin, N5RAX, used their SAREX 2-meter
equipment for a contact with Astronaut Ken Cameron, R3/KB5AWP, on
assignment at the Russian space facility at Star City, near Moscow.
The two astronaut-hams also spoke to cosmonaut Anatoli Artsibartski,
U6MIR. The contacts were made on two successive passes overhead.
Jay Apt said ''Ken is my friend and former STS-37 crewmate. It was
terrific to hear his voice after several months corresponding by
e-mail only. What a great way to use ham radio.''
Cameron and Artsibartski were standing near the Star City statue of
Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, using a hand held transceiver and
5/8 wavelength whip antenna, standing on a car to increase their
elevation, astronaut Jay Apt related in an Amateur Radio packet
message from space.

Please don't do this! Alt.* is not a trial hierarchy.
If you think there is enough traffic for a rec group, then put
in the RFD for it. (A pre-existing mailing list is a great way
to demonstrate such traffic).
If it fails the vote, *then*, by all means, propose the alt group.
This would be a much more legitimate use for alt.* and will help
keep it less cluttered.
Followups to news.groups, where this discussion belongs.

....routinely work RS-10/11 with 10 watts.
Thanks, Paul. That looks like it will be my first shot. I've got an Isopole
for 2M so I'm set. 29 MHz antenna is an R-7. From my location, RS-12 is much
louder than RS-10 even though both are 10M downlink. HF rig is a TS-690, so
the receive should be pretty good. Any reason for the disparity that you know
of? Are you using a pre-amp? Any suggestions? Tnx.

Subject: Satellites without beams
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
I live in a rented house, and my landlord is pretty reasonable about letting me
do some things, but I think he would draw the line at a tower or putting up
beams or arrays on the roof. What are my options for satellite work? I don't
mind adding hardware in the shack, but the stuff outside will be limited to
dipoles, verticals, etc. Present equipment includes HF, 2M, and an old TNC-2
clone. I'll probably be replacing the TNC shortly, but the 2M is an Icom 251A
and it will most likely be staying. Upgrading will be piece-by-piece.
Suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. TNX.

To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
Some time ago somebody posted a list of the QSL routes for all the shuttle
missions so far. I carefully saved the file and then equally carefully deleted
it.
Specifically, I need the QSL route for STS-60 for a packet contact but would
like the whole list if it's still around.
Thanks
