- Message:
- Well, I finally did it! Last Thursday I made my first satellite
- contact via RS-10. Yee-Haaa!! as they say. Other than chasing
- myself all over the place due to doppler and not keeping my
- transmissions brief, it really wasn't bad at all. After putting
- things off for years, I really enjoyed myself. (Those comments for
- any readers who have yet to actually take the plunge. Don't put it
- off!) One problem, though, and a question. First, the problem: I
- was using an R-7 for the down-link antenna, but noticed that if I
- switched to the 20-75 trap dipole the signal might improve. Going
- back and forth between antennas allowed me to keep contact. That got
- me to wondering, though, if some other arrangement might work better.
- What about crossed Yagis, fed with a 1/4 section? Maybe over a ground
- plane? If this arrangement has merit, what lengths and spacings
- would be optimal? Could I get a pattern similar to the Egg-beater I'm
- using on 2M? Now the question: Is the down-link from RS-10 weaker
- than from RS-12 or is it just my imagination? Thanks in advance.

- To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
-
- I'm a little confused about the DOVE satellites (so what's new many
- people shout together...) Is DO-17 the DOVE satellite? And what
- modes, etc does it support? I'm trying to find the TLE's to add to
- PCTRACK, and I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Someone recently
- posted a large list of TLE, and the closest thing I find is DO-17.

-
- Can anyone tell me where I can find STSORBIT via ftp?
-
- I already have STSORBIT PLUS, and it's amazing.
- However, my machine doesn't have the required math coprocessor, so it's
- *painfully* slow.

- Thanks,

- IMHO, satellite transponder passbands are small enough that logging
- of the transponder mode and operating mode (ie. B/SSB, J/FM, etc.)
- and the satellite is more than adequate for any logging, QSLing and
- record keeping requirements. In my log and on cards under the
- 'FREQ' column I put the satellite name and under 'MODE' the operating
- modes as above.
