Despite the VHF/UHF discussion which has taken prevalence on the
rec.amateur.* newsgroups, has anyone been following the maiden Ariane 5
launch?  I read that it was scheduled to lift off Thursday (5/30/96), or
is it one week later?

Just curious.  I understand that P3D is supposed to ride one of these
sometime soon.  How is its development going?

I'm trying to work KO-23 and K0-25. My setup is two Crushcraft
vertical beams with
claimed 10 dbi gain, (4 elements 2 meters and 6 elements on 440). SSB
preamp, 100'
RG8U, downconverter into an FT-990. Kenwood 251A up using RG8X. .
PK-96 using
Wisp. I have trees. I can hear KO-23 and the PK-96 DCD light flickers.
But I get no data
either through Wisp or my packet program (Packratt for Windows). Is
the signal just too
weak and I really need CP antennas pointed with a satellite rotor? Or
should I at least be
able to copy data? Or could it be the trees?. Wisp seems to be working
well.
I thank you, my Mother thanks you, for any help.

Rob, those countries that allow other than Amateur Radio useage
of any WARC allocations are not complying with the terms of the
agreement. This is another issue, although related and also
important.

The antennas are smallish, but it should be possible to do something.
Elevation control is of course required, or else the antennas should
be elevated about half the -3dB angle.
You should have a strong signal.  S-meter reading is probably bogus
with a converter inline, but I would say it should be S-7 or above.
Also the connection of the TNC to the transceivers should be OK for
9600 baud.  Verify this by connecting the local node or bbs, or another
user.  You should be able to transfer files in both directions (at
PACLEN 256) without difficulty.

When my system was still working I used 2*15 el crossed yagi on 70cm
and had a steady signal most of the time.

RELAX Folks....

Would an Industry really place MONEY MAKING mobile sat LEO's on bands already
accessed by millions of Amateurs world-wide???? Come on folks..it just won't
happen....you honestly think that even if the IMPOSSIBLE, cease and desist
order from our FCC on using the 2mtr and 70cm bands, that everyone will just
quit....I'd say the LEO's would most like get unintentionnal and
intentional interference from a million land based radios, world-wide?

        Just because a company wants to experiment using certain frequencies
using leo's and new modes of modulation and digital services, doesn't mean
that they are going to use that full spectrum exclusively.....

        Just relax guys...we won't loose anything here...besides, the US and
Canada hams arn't the only one's using these freqs...this LEO freq allocation
request will have to battle every Country, not just No. America, since LEO's
receive and transmit farther then most Country boundaries...

Subject: Helical antennas not popular?
Date: Fri, 31 May 1996 10:31:19 -0800
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

I hope to get into satellite communications soon, so I'm fantisizing the
antennas at this point. After reading the ARRL antenna book, I am
attracted to the idea of helical antennas for satellite work. My questions
are:

From what I hear and read on the net, it seems crossed yagis are more
popular than helicals, Why?

It seems that most work is done with right hand circular polarization, so
wouldn't a helical be a good choice?

Thanks

Mission Briefing: June 4, 1996

Update for 9:15 a.m. EDT: BOARD TO PROBE ARIANE 5 FAILURE

An inquiry board is forming to investigate the explosion of the Ariane 5
rocket
shortly after its maiden launch from Korou, French Guiana this morning.
Launch
took place about 8:35 a.m. EDT.

The rocket appeared to pitch to the left 34 seconds into flight. It
exploded
seconds later at an altitude of 4,000 meters. No injuries were reported on
the
ground. Launch officials said debris fell into a protected area.

No immediate reason was given for the explosion which deals a crushing blow
to
the European Space Agency's attempt to take command of the international
commercial launch market. The Ariane 5 was 10 times as powerful than the
Ariane
4 rocket it was expected to replace. It was carrying a half-billion dollar
package
of four Cluster satellites to study the Earth's relationship with the Sun.

John,
So what is the difference?
It is still a unproven launch truck
it was still destroyed.
its payload is destroyed

Cross yagis are more compact and easier to implement. A Helix
for two will require lots of fiberglass  or other waterproof
material for the boom and the struts.

I didn't mean to imply a helix for 2 meters, but rather for 3/4 meters.
Apparently it is not so easy to design and implement even a linear yagi
on this band.  My Cushcraft AO-18 is an example.

Has anybody got any good simulations for a helix?  My modeling program
by K6STI will not support enough segments to do more than a couple of
turns.

The appearance of a helix antenna is enough to make me try it.
Reminds me of the old NASA ground stations.

You heard right. It veered off course and was blown to smithereens.

I used to work at a Nasa ground station (Winkfield Minitrack Station,
later called a STADAN Station (Sat Tracking and Data Acquisition
Network)). We used Crossed Yagis as we used both left and right circular
polarisation into diversity combiners. This was at 136 Mhz.

Latest word is that it is a guidance problem and may be software related.
I agree the problem is not serious, not like an engine that failed. It
will be fixed quickly and the program will go on.

Hi, I'm a radio neophyte, interested in finding out more about equipment
and technique for doing meteor forward scatter observations. (I'm an amat.
astronomer and visual meteor observer.) What net and other resources (good
magazines, local or national organizations, books written for people who
are NOT RF gurus) can the readers of this group suggest?

Please respond via email to "[e-mail]", and I'll summarize to
the froup if desired. Thanks!

Just saw a Tracey Ulman show about a russian woman and an american

I couldent help but to laugh about it and think about Shannon on Mir.

So, how long has the russian cosmonaut been sealed in a tin can in space
by himself?

Id bet Phyllis Diller would look like a super model after 4 months in space.

Is this a new kind of torture for Soviet men?

From what I hear, the matching networks are difficult to make effecient.
That was the impetus behind the quagi by wayne overbeck. He went with the
loop elements to come up with a simple effecient feed, and then yagi
directors to do the rest. The first iteration apparently used a
commercial antenna with the last two elements lopped off and the quad
elements put in their place.

I've had good luck with a 5 element 2 meter quagi and a 10 element 70 cm
quagi for oscar 13. I used them before I got the helix built and the
klm14c, and built another set for field day portable operation.

I made up a spreadsheet once in twin (lotus clone) that let me diddle
some physical dimensions while watching gain and others parameters. Its
not terribly complicated, but it let me work out things like a nice 10
inch diameter, x foot long helix with some gain estimates so I could see
the trade offs. Not sure if I could get it to you in a useable format,
but we could try sending it via email or ftp.

Indeed, it does look distinctive. I had an old B&W camera mounted up on
my crossbar so I could see where the antenna was pointing, and sometimes
I'd just watch folks walking down the street. They seemed to get nervous
with the 'James Bond Deathray' tracking them. I was going to put some
sort of glowing red tube down the center of it to enhance the effect, but
never got around to it.  :-)

Recent Launches
---------------

The first launch of the new Ariane 5 rocket, mission V501, ended with
destruction of the rocket after 40 seconds of flight, at an altitude of
4000 m. The vehicle pitched over and then was destroyed by the range
safety officer. It is not yet known whether the problem was in the main
stage or the solid boosters.

Ariane 5 consists of two P230 Aerospatiale EAP (Etage Acceleration a
Poudre) solid strapon boosters, the Aerospatiale/SEP EPC (Etage
Principal Cryotechnique)  cryogenic main stage, and the Daimler-Benz EPS
(Etage 'a Propergols Stockables) storable liquid propellant upper stage
with an L9.7 Aestus engine. The design is completely different from the
Ariane 1 through 4 family which shared a common core stage with
evolutionary modifications. First flights of large launch vehicles
are very rare - Ariane 1 in 1979, Shuttle in 1981, Energiya in 1987,
H-2 in 1994. This is the only failure of a large core stage on initial
flight apart from the Russian N-1 moon rocket in 1969 and the first
launch failure of a major space science payload since Mariner 8 in 1971.
My best wishes and condolences to those of my friends working on the
Cluster project. For comparison, I list below the history of initial
launch attempts of new orbital rocket designs.

Although there have been several reports of activity on 145.55 from MIR
in the past several weeks, I haven't heard a peep there since April 21st.

However I DID hear Yuri (or was it the other Yuri) on 143.625 mhz at 06:22
UTC on June 4th.  He was speaking in Russian, presumably talking to the
ground station in California.  ( Can someone tell me where and what this

Shareware tracking programs are available from many sources, including
AMSAT via anonymous ftp.  You'll need current orbital element sets,
which describe the satellite motion.  The data is posted in this
newsgroup.  Plug in the data and voila!  satellite tracking made
easy.

Kraus's book on Antennas, a standard work in almost all college libraries,
gives a lot of info on Helix antennas.

Johnson's book on Antennas, McGraw Hill, discusses the subject further and
includes matching information (originated, by the way, by Kraus apparently.)

IEEE proceedings in the 1960-1975 period has a lot of references to these
antennas.

>The appearance of a helix antenna is enough to make me try it.
>Reminds me of the old NASA ground stations.

Read just about any satellite article in Radio Electronics or Electronics
Illustrated in the 60's or 70's and you'll see single, dual, or quad
helix antennas for tracking.  Since the basic impedance of a helix is about
140 Ohms, two paralleled provide 70 Ohms and four provide 35 Ohms.. both of
which can be fairly easily matched to 50 Ohms using coaxial transformers.
The VHF handbook has construction info on making these using hardware
store square aluminum tubing with appropriate connectors and center
conductor diameter.

FO-20 operates in its normal analog (voice and cw) mode at all times. It
will be available for FD of course. Just run your tracking program to find

 hi there,
the jvfax7.0 is a fine program for all meteosat users (not only for them).
the author eberhard backeshoff has made a good job, even in the design of
the overlay-maps.
But unfortunatly there are no borders for the different countrys.
Im searching for a overlay map (meteosat format d2 and c03)  w i t h  the
borders if all european states.
if youve any idea how to add this borders to the existing overlay maps,
please let me know.
thanks in advance

Don't overlook the TrakBox for AZ/EL control _and_ radio control.

Look at ftp.tapr.org for details. The manuals are there along with the
latest firmware. Great project. But then I am biased. :-)

A real complete  file of kep data is at the Air Force Institiute of
Technology. the FTP is archive.afit.af.mil/pub/space/tle.new. Change
the .new extension to .txt, erase the VERY FIRST LINE AT THE TOP OF
THE TEXT EDITOR (and use the DOS editor) go no further below that
first line and it will work wonderful. it conatins data for over 50
satellites including the ham ones.

Any problems do e-mail me.

Oh yeah, they've been on the air a lot. I've heard both Susan Helms
and Chuck Brady since last Friday.

The passes over the SF Bay Area have been between approx. 1600Z
and 2200Z. I've mostly heard activity on the 1900Z-2200Z passes
(early afternoon here). That's probably about the time they're
knocking off work for the day.

Evidently the astronauts are getting a partial day off on Tuesday,
so maybe they'll have more time to play radio.

I haven't heard any packet operation yet, nor seen any reports of any.

I have a scanner and I was wondering what mode the transmissions were?
AM, WFM or NFM?

The Houston Area Amsat group, working with the Texas DX Society as K5DX,
made contacts through RS10/12, RS15, AO-10, AO-13 and AO-27 and FO-20,
as well as some of the digitals. Not a peep out of STS-78, tho.

  I wonder why I'm not hearing anything! I listened during 3 good
passes (70-80 degree passes), and I still hear nothing from them! I
thought I would at least hear their packet robot sending beacons or
making contacts.
  I'm using a 2 meter groundplane up 50 feet and a 50 watt mobile rig.
I have had no problems making contacts with past missions, but this
one is wierd!
  Where is everybody getting their Keps from? I am getting mine from
NASA, as well as using the SatTrack web page for times, and I have
heard nothing using both of them!
  Maybe later on...

Only once, last sunday.  I think it was around lunch time (Noon-ish PDT),
I heard Susan ID.  I tried returning the call, but apparently she wasn't
listening on the particular uplink I used (144.97).  Then the pass was over.
No packet at all; I even tried connecting, just in case it needed a little

I don't know WISP, but when I would see an error like that in a KISS
based program I would think about a problem with multi-channel KISS.
type 10 (hex) is the type used for data received from the second channel
of the TNC.  Maybe WISP cannot cope with it, or has to be configured
for it.

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>


I also have a FT736R.  However, your question is more general than
specific to the FT736R.
I am assuming your question pertains to SSB operation.

The function of the ALC is to prevent overloading the RF section of the
transmitter.  When in SSB you can reduce your power output by reducing
the audio drive or the RF drive.  When the RF power output is reduced and
the ALC is not activated since the RF output is bellow the threshold of
peak output.  Therefore, the ALC meter will not fluctuate.

So how should you adjust the mic gain?  The answer is don't.  Just leave
it in the position you had it in when you were working SSB with RF output
control set to maximum.  Or, just leave it in the position you normally
use when working FM.  This assumes you do not move the mike or talk
louder than normal.

I hope this helps.

On today's (06/29/96) 12:14 P.M. PDT pass, I contacted VA3CSA,
Robert Thiesk!  Heard other contacts (one in AZ).  They do
listen, and they DO answer.  Did anyone else get a contact on
this pass?  Please post.

Amsat-NA has a program called "Amiga Orbits" which does tracking
on an Amiga.  Contact [e-mail] for pricing and info.

   They've been working stations left and right. I've heard them MANY times so
