Hi,
I uploaded some videos about Integration and Launch of OSCAR-10 and
OSCAR-10 in full-length:
http://en.sevenload.com/search/amsat/videos
You will also find there a video from the SDX demonstration during the
HamRadio 2008.
Unfortunately the videos are in german language, but I hope you will
still enjoy them..

Thank you, Peter!
What wonderful (wunderbar!!??) memories about Oscar 10....as very
many of us will attest!
As one can tell, I know few words in German.!!.. but language
translation not necessary....
GO P3E !!!!

and the W2A could not even pick up the down link on the same antenna. It
seems to work fine on the repeaters. I am wondering if it needs an
alignment on the front end to pick up the down link. I did notice that are
some pots/variable caps on the sides of the band units in the W2A hopefully
an adjustment would get it working on the sats.

Hello All,
For those who would like to try and experience a signal from a moon orbiter,
the Kaguya lunar probe is transmitting a carrier around 2263.6MHz. I use a
medium size BBQ grill on a camera tripod, a noisy MMDS downconverter that has
filtering against this frequency (it's tuned for 2300-2400MHz) and a PCR1000
as IF on 312.5MHz (6kHz filter on USB). It shouldn't work, but it does, and
I get a 6-10dB spike above the noise using DL4YHF's spectrum lab software.
It is audible.
The orbital period is around 2 hours and it can be behind the moon for up to
50 minutes. Doppler is about 45kHz so it can be seen as different from the
birdies from the MMDS.

interesting that as a blanket policy amateur radio gear is on the banned
list but one is allowed to have a walkie-talkie (HT) running up to 5W.
Hmm, the antenna could be a tough one but anyone here ever work satellite
with that? (much less repeaters on shore) :).

Wow very good, wish the old bird was still active, anyone care for a
translation?
Brilliant to see the thing being built.
FAB many thanks

It is my understanding that the prohibition against amateur radio
equipment on Royal Caribbean ships does not apply to HTs. If you
click on the link
<http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do;jsessionid=0000d
onywOR515YoExRqE5gjvpt:12hbioan0?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&pnav=5&sn
av=2&faqId=2717&faqSubjectId=334&faqSubjectName=Life+Onboard&faqType=faq>Are
walkie-talkies allowed onboard? at the bottom left of the same web
page you find the following:
Q: Are walkie-talkies allowed onboard?
A: Dect phones (portable phones) are available to rent for $25.00 a
week on Radiance and Voyager class vessels. Guests may reserve a set
at the Guest Relations Desk, (price is subject to change). Guests are
also allowed to have two-way radios, more commonly know as
walkie-talkies, for onboard personal communications. Basic
specifications are as follows: Up to 10-mile coverage range, Up to 5
watts power, Internal Voice, Operated Transmission, No external
mounting antenna.
I have not had any problem operating satellites of Royal Caribbean
ship using my Icom W32A and an AL800 telescoping antenna. I would
guess that the prohibition is in place to prevent amateur radio
operating on HF where you have a run of coax and an external
antenna. This type of equipment raises safety issues with the cruise line.
