Subject: Getting started
Just bought a new Yeasu FT-5200 (dualbander 2m/440 fm).
Bought it with the intention of getting into pacsat, but I am
quickly finding out that I don't have the proper equipment.
I have the following:
FT-5200
IBM PS2 L40 laptop (386)
KPC-3
Instatrak
Using Procomm+ for windows for comms
1. What else do I need?
2. Are there FM only satellites using 2m/440?
3. Any helpful tips?
Thanks.

Subject: Ham Satellite
Hi there,
I'd like to share some of the thought with you guys on the net about the
futhre ham satellites. I always hear from satellite hams say that LEO sat
is easy to work and is good for a short contact. OSCAR-13 is good for DX and
long QSO and
however, it is not easy to work (expensive equipment and tracking etc) and
signal is always weak.
Since there are a lot of commerical geostationary
satellites on the orbits, is it possible that we hams can build reasonable
ERP small size transponders placing in the commericial satellites to share
some common facilities such as solar panels on the commercial sat platforms?
If this can be done, several ham sats can be linked so that a reliable world wide
ham sat network can be formed.
73,
JOnathan

Quicktrack will produce the desired output, InstantTrack does not.
Get both. Amsat's number is (301) 589-6062.

A source of inexpensive monolythic filters of this obscure bandwidth

out in California (I suspect they are a regular at the TRW Swapfests).
