Magellan was expected to burn up in the planet's upper atmosphere within two days of the lost of signal. The final chapter of the Magellan story was written as Earth-based tracking stations lost the spacecraft's radio signal at 10:02 Universal Time (3:02 AM Pacific Daylight Time). The loss of signal, which was anticipated, was due to low power on the spacecraft, exacerbated by Magellan's orientation as it performed a final experiment in the upper atmosphere of Venus. The spacecraft's thrusters were fired in four sequences on Tuesday, 11-Oct, to lower Magellan's orbit into the thin upper atmosphere and set up the final experiment, before the spacecraft's failing power system or dynamic forces and friction from the Venusian atmosphere shut off communication. Magellan gathered scientific data on the planet's upper atmosphere, including aerodynamic interactions with it during the spacecraft's final descent, by orienting its wing-like solar panels in opposite directions, like a windmill. The termination experiment was an extension of the windmill experiment performed in early September. It was carried out as the spacecraft was within weeks, if not days, of the end of its useful life due to expected decreases in solar power output from the thermal stress produced by more than 15,000 orbits of Venus. Launched in May 1989, Magellan entered Venus orbit in August 1990 and gathered data for over four years. The mission exceeded all of the objectives defined for its exploration of Venus. It used radar to map 98 percent of the planet's cloud-covered surface to an average resolution of better than 300 meters and compiled a high-resolution, comprehensive gravity field map for 95 percent of the planet. The gravity data will allow scientists to see "underneath the planet's skin" and compare that knowledge of the interior to the wealth of surface features revealed by Magellan's radar imaging, said Project Manager Doug Griffith at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, California. Magellan also performed a first-of-a-kind "aerobraking" maneuver by dipping into the atmosphere to reshape its orbit. This technique is now being used in the design of the Mars Glal Surveyor mission to enable the spacecraft to enter orbit around the planet Mars in 1997 using less fuel, resulting in significant savings of weight and cost. "The Magellan mission to Venus has been successful beyond all expectations," said JPL Director Dr. Edward C. Stone. "It not only fulfilled its science and mission objectives, it also demonstrated innovative technologies for future missions."

What can I do >about it? well, the first thing to consider doing is getting hold of books on interference solutions -- odds are the local library has a copy of "The ARRL Handbook for Radio Amateurs" AKA "The Radio Amateur's Handbook" - this has a section on interference problems along with steps taken at the transmitter end and some detail for other equipment. many of the problems are sounding like fundamental overload. this is caused by your equipment not being able to reject the strong signals...it is conceivable that the CBer could even be operating legally. there are filters you can add to your equipment and other methods used to keep the radio signals out of other equipment. the signals could be entering on an antenna, the power line, or directly into the other radio.. I'd say start with the telephone. AT&T has a filter for their phones...get the phone fixed up and then take the next one. bill wb9ivr ------------------------------ Date: 13 Oct 1994 00:47:42 GMT From: sbertsch@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (Steve Bertsch) Subject: DOES ANYONE USE 2M AM?

The FAQ articles are posted on the 7th and 21st of each month. This article is posted on the 14th and 28th of every month as a reminder of where to find the FAQ. The FAQ articles are intended to summarize some common questions on the rec.radio.amateur.misc newsgroup and Info-Hams mail list as well as to help beginners get started. Besides the monthly posting, the FAQ is always available via anonymous FTP and from e-mail servers. This article contains instructions for obtaining a copy of the FAQ. It also contains the table of contents from the FAQ so that you know which questions are covered by it. Please provide a copy of the FAQ to any new or soon-to-be Hams you know. Regular FAQ postings can help save network bandwidth and maintain a good signal-to-noise ratio in the newsgroup. However, they can't do it alone - you, the reader, have to use them. If you are a new user, please print and review the FAQ articles and look at the instructions in the news.newusers newsgroup before posting any articles. If you are an experienced user, please help by refraining from answering frequently-asked questions on the newsgroup if they are already answered by the FAQ articles. Instead, send e-mail to the user who asked the question. (It will be helpful if you include the part of the FAQ that answers their question, but not the whole thing.) --How to obtain a current copy of the FAQ------------------------------------- There are 7 ways to obtain a copy of the FAQ. 1) World-Wide Web (WWW) and Mosaic 2) NetNews 3) Anonymous FTP 4) An Electronic Mail Server 5) Mail List Subscription 6) Gopher 7) Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) Option #1: World-Wide Web (WWW) and Mosaic ------------------------------------------ The World-Wide Web (WWW) has experienced explosive growth in usage in 1993 and 1994. WWW clients like Lynx (in ASCII text) or Mosaic (X/Mac/Windows) can display the FAQ from many different sources. Each source is named by a URL (uniform resource locator.) If you are one of the growing numbers of people with Internet access, Option #1 is your choice. The following URL can be used to find the FAQ: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/radio/ham-radio/faq/top.html Other services listed later in this article are also accessible with WWW at the following URLs: news:rec.radio.info file://ftp.amdahl.com/pub/radio/amateur file://ftp.cs.buffalo.edu/pub/ham-radio file://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/faq file://grivel.une.edu.au/pub/ham-radio/buffalo/ham-radio file://nic.funet.fi/pub/ham/info gopher://cc1.kuleuven.ac.be/ gopher://jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca/ gopher://gopher.univ-lyon1.fr/ gopher://ftp.win.tue.nl/ gopher://gopher.win.tue.nl/ wais://rtfm.mit.edu/usenet For more information on WWW, see the comp.infosystems.www newsgroup. Also, the help options on your WWW client should be able to point you to lots of information all over the world. Option #2: NetNews ------------------ If you are familiar enough with NetNews to look through previous articles on your system, Option #2 above may be the easiest for you. The FAQ is posted so that it should not expire from your site's news spool until the next one is posted. Unfortunately, some news administrators do not honor the expiration dates meant to preserve the FAQ. Look in rec.radio.amateur.misc, rec.radio.info, rec.answers, or news.answers. If the FAQ has expired at your site, try Option #3 (and ask your news administrator to honor expiration dates for articles cross-posted to news.answers if he/she can.) Option #3: Anonymous FTP ------------------------ Anonymous FTP uses the File Transfer Protocol. It is only available to sites which are directly connected to the Internet. If you don't know how to use FTP and can't find a friend to help you, continue to Option #4. If your site is not connected to the Internet, you should also continue to Option #4. The following sites have copies of the FAQ: site name & address path to FAQ articles ------------------- -------------------- ftp.amdahl.com pub/radio/amateur/faq.[1-3].Z located in western USA, FAQ updated daily ftp.cs.buffalo.edu pub/ham-radio/faq_ham_[1-3] located in eastern USA, FAQ updated monthly rtfm.mit.edu pub/usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/faq/part* located in eastern USA, FAQ updated monthly contains news.answers archive - most UseNet FAQs are here grivel.une.edu.au pub/ham-radio/buffalo/ham-radio/faq_ham_[1-3] located in Australia, FAQ updated monthly (Ham files mirrored from buffalo/funet/ucsd daily) nic.funet.fi pub/ham/info/faq_ham_[1-3] located in Finland, FAQ updated monthly Remember, when connecting to the remote system, use the login name of "anonymous" and, as a courtesy to the site administrators, your e-mail address for the password. Option #4: Electronic Mail Server --------------------------------- If you can't use Options 1 or 2, your only remaining option is electronic mail. You can retreive a copy of the FAQ by sending a message to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu The body of your mail will contain a command for the mail server software. To get all of the FAQ (consisting of 70K of e-mail in 3 parts), place the following in the first line of your message: send usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/faq/* Leave out the subject of your message because the mail server will ignore it. --- begin sample mail message --- To: mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu From: me@here.org Date: Mon Aug 14 22:27:33 PDT 1995 send usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/faq/* --- end sample mail message --- Option #5: Mail List Subscription --------------------------------- If you prefer, you may get the FAQ and other periodic Ham Radio information as it gets posted. All the information posted to rec.radio.info can be obtained through the UCSD list server via the "radio-info" mail list. To subscribe, send an e-mail to listserv@ucsd.edu Similar to the e-mail server listed above, just send a single-line message subscribe radio-info If you need more information, the listserv program also accepts a "help" command. Just keep it on a separate line in the message. Option #6: Gopher ----------------- You can access gopher servers on TCP port 70 (gopher protocol) at the following locations which carry the Ham Radio FAQ: cc1.kuleuven.ac.be jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca gopher.univ-lyon1.fr ftp.win.tue.nl gopher.win.tue.nl For more information on gopher, see the comp.infosystems.gopher newsgroup. Option #7: Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) ---------------------------------------------- In addition to the other services mentioned above, rtfm.mit.edu offers a WAIS server on TCP port 210. Use the "usenet" database to access the FAQ. For more information on WAIS, see the comp.infosystems.wais newsgroup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Table of Contents ----------------- Dates indicate last modification.

If your question is not answered there, check if you have any other sources (i.e. Mosaic/WWW) before proceeding. If you still don't have an answer, post your question to the most appropriate rec.radio.amateur.* newsgroup. And be sure to mention where you have already looked for the answer so people won't mistakenly tell you to try them again. Thank you for doing your part to conserve network bandwidth! --Submitting changes for the FAQ---------------------------------------------- If you have comments or updates for the FAQ, send e-mail to hamradio-faq@amdahl.com This will send mail to all the people on the FAQ editorial review group. --Call for FAQ Editors-------------------------------------------------------- As with any volunteer effort, new volunteers are often needed. We need a new editor to post the Ham Radio FAQ. Preferably this should be someone who has enthusiasm for Ham Radio, experience with UseNet, and the ability to work with the other editors. No single person can know all the various aspects of this diverse hobby so the editorial review group is intended to make a greater combination of experience. The FAQ is currently posted with the AUTO-FAQ software, which is written in PERL. So it would be a plus for volunteers to post the FAQ to have PERL installed on their system and be able to use "cron" or "at" so that postings can go unattended. Anyone who wants to make their contribution to the Net as a volunteer should contact hamradio-faq@amdahl.com. ------------------------------ Date: 13 Oct 1994 15:39:34 GMT From: bd27015@bingsuns.cc.binghamton.edu (Phlatline) Subject: IRC & Hams I'm KB2RU, Dave Graff, i sometimes hang out on the undernet system of IRC, there are a few sitess that i know the names of (port 6667 on al of them) albany.ny.us.undernet.org boston.ma.us.undernet.org norman.ok.us.undernet.org those are undernet servers, they are less crowded than the EFnet systems which have 1*10^99 quadrillion people on it (i.e. very crowded). hop on if you need help /join #wasteland and look around Meatloaf, Emerald, Karll, hop, Mmmm and a few others that i know are very helpfull, if you want to start a ham channel just /join #ham use /part #<channelname> to leave the channels you are on i'm the Phlatline just look around for me!! --Dave -- This is the .sig: Dave Graff a.k.a The Phlatline address: bd27015@bingsuns.cc.binghamton.edu Call Sign: KB2RUM Packet address: under construction =-=-=-= Without C we'd have to program in PASAL, BASI, and OBOL ------------------------------ Date: 12 Oct 1994 14:00 CDT From: tech14c@elroy.uh.edu (Brad Killebrew N5LJV) Subject: Let's get a ham channel started on irc!

I realize that my question would be best placed on the newsgroup "Ham-Space" however, I HAVE sent this post to that group and got no response. Every time I've had a question and sent it to this group, I always got a response that was helpful (thank you). I was wondering about phase (MA) schedules for satellites. I have and get newly published keps data, but I need an up-to-date phase schedule so that I know when which satellites are operating in what modes and when.
