Every Friday a group of us radio guys meet at the Flour Garden Bakery and coffee shop in Grass Valley to talk radio. This morning Grover, K7TP, passes out some modified computer mice to accept a key for Morsemail operation. After the mice are passed out, we start on our AO-51 satellite pass. What follows was not part of the plan. N1ASA tells us how to correctly do this! http://www.wku.edu/ksgc/sats.p...

Btw, over horizon phased array PAVE PAWS facility up in Sagamore, MA, is under fire for potential links to cancer clusters in that area.

Unfortunately, very seldom. The trees have grown below my big satellite antennas which prevents me from rotating them up. Looks like some chainsaw work is in order. Randy

how often do you actually transmitte on the satellite frequencies ? - zl

The main problem was that his satellite tracking was set to a location 2,500 miles away from where we were! So, nothing to be heard at all! Randy

hi there , watched your demonstration on finding satellites with the radios and it's great to see people having fun with amateur stuff , but feel that when you actually are trying to find the signal from the satellites , i think when you waving the yagi a bit too fast for the radio to pick it up ; if you just stayed in one spot and slightly moved around , you should get something .73's from zl .

450 and 220 MHz. Randy
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
