It is with great regret that I must inform you of the passing of Peter
Carey ZS6JT (ZE5JJ). Peter went SK this morning 11th July in Centurion,
South Africa, after fighting a long illness. He will be missed by his wife
Jean, his family, children and grandchildren, and all the colleagues who
have known this wonderful man, a great experimenter, technician, operator
and award winning radio amateur.

Hi to the list of AMSAT'ers
Peter Carey, ZS6JT ex ZE5JJ was a 432 MHz Pioneer early from 1975
I got many CW QSO's with him on 432 MHz EME from 1977 to 1980.
Good by Peter !

A Greek ancient system of communication with fire from torches above
mountaintops is called fryktories from fryktos that means "the torch"
in Greek .
On 13 of July 2008 and after 3200 years we will be climbing up the
same mountaintops with Turkish Hams and will transmit through the
hamradio frequencies a message from Troy ? located in N.W Turkey up
to Mykines that is in Southern Greece using a special call on every
mountaintop that the original message passed through. The same
mountaintops are mentioned from Aeshylus in his drama "Agamemnon" and
they are the ones that brought back to the Mikines city the message
that Troy has fallen into the hands of the ancient siege army.
The transmitted message will be passing along the nodes on the 2m
band from one station to another.
The special calls that will be used through this campaign will be:
Turkey
Mountain Ida(Troy): to be announced.
Greece
Station 1 (Lemnos Isl): SX8FRA
Station 2 (Athonas mnt) : SX2FRB/A
Station 3 (Kandili Evia): SX8FRC
Station 4 (Mesapio, Biotia): SX1FRD
Station 5 (Kitheronas): SX1FRE
Station 6 (Gerania): SX1FRF
Station 7 (Arachneon, Peloponisos): SX3FRG
Station 8 (Mikines): SX3FRH
Every Station will have at least 2m SSB/FM capability with yagi
antennas. Before and after the event every station will be trying to
make as many QSO's as possible with the special calls. Also that day
we expect that many other hilltops will be activated in 2m band from
other Greek and Foreign hams that will be joining this event.
I will be QRV from Kitheronas mountain with the call SX1FRE.
Except me the other ops will be SW1JGW SV1EEX, SV1EOS, SV1JGX, and SW1JCO
GRID LOC: KM18OE.
Will be active in 80- 70 cm. . Also will try LEO SATS and will operate
through the 2008 IARU HF World Championship with the special call.
Operating times: Sat 12/8/08 at 10:00 local time till 13/8/08.
QSL cards will be sent via the SV buro or direct.
For scheds concerning the SX1FRE activity On HF/VHF BAND pse contact
SV1EEX at : SX1FRE Site:
http://sx1fre.blogspot.com
For scheds concerning the SX1FRE activity On Satellites pse contact me at
kostas.ioannidis(AT)gmail.com
We will be QRV on the middle pass band
Any station that will contact us is requested in the existence of
traffic not to call us again because we want to contact with as many
stations as possible.
BEST 73 AND HOPE TO WORK YOU ON THE BIRDS
ON BEHALF OF SX1FRE
SW1IXP Kostas

Hello gang,
I am in process of putting together a ground station for AMSAT use
and I have acquired a Yaesu 5400 rotor system with a pair of older Cushcraft
antennas. I now need a controller box to go between the PC and the rotors. I
checked the price of the GS-232B by Yaesu and nearly had heart failure! Then
I looked at the schematic and was appalled! Surely someone has come up with
a better/cheaper solution. Searching the web only produced a few build from
scratch articles and a fellow from Europe selling a board. Isn't there some
other alternative available off the shelf and reasonably priced?

Hi Michael,
not 100% sure if its compatable but works fab here with my rotators, try a
google for FODTRACK.
100% homebrew works really well.
regards

Michael,
Funny you should ask that. AMSAT carries the LVB tracker:
http://wa4sxm.googlepages.com/home It uses the same protocol, can be
configured for either USB or serial port, and goes assembled for around
$200, and can be had in various versions of completion for less.
Unfortunately the AMSAT web store is down, so I can't give you the
specifics, but no doubt somebody here will. It is a great unit. Highly
recommended. Note that the assembly process is a volunteer operation, so
availability depends on that.

Hello Michael,
How about my hardly used, dust free Primetec Primesat Controller ?
It works OK, so I am told, with the G5400 set-up.
I don?t use it, and have never been able to properly,
since it was sold to me new, direct from Portugal,
This controller does not work properly with the G5600B.
So its here gathering dust and available for ?100:00
plus postage.
73, Dave.
