An awful lot of work for something that is not intrinsically difficult to do.
I find a lot of the Make stuff is like that...
For solar heating/cooking applications (and, by extension, our RF stuff), the
mirror doesn't need to be anywhere nearly that accurate anyway. Since we're
not imaging things, it's useful if our spot size/circle of confusion is about
the same size as the sensor or other object it's aimed at.

Assuming you had a proper form ... I think the construction process has
merit.

For those of you that also use a TS2000 for satellite communications,
I just finished the modification suggested by Woody AK2F to increase
the receive sensitivity on UHF and VHF.
Note:
The modification is only useful for early K models (US). All later
as well as European models do not need this mod.

It is with great sadness that I report the death of Howard Ziserman, WA3GOV
at the age of 55. For many years, Howard served as the Area Coordinator for
MD & VA, He volunteered for EVERY hamfest in this area, sometimes
traveling over 100 miles away. He had a love for the Space Program working
at the NASA Bioprocessing and Pharmaceutical Research Center in Philadelphia
in the early 80's. When he moved to MD in 1989,he combined his love of
education and space working on Space Shuttle Mission STS-94 and later on the
ARISS program. Howard had a B.A. from Cornell, a B.E. in EE from Johns
Hopkins, an M.S. in Chemistry from U of MD. His dream was to get his PhD
and so he left MD in 2001 for Kansas City. There he received his PhD in
December of 2006

Unfortunately for hams in the Orlando and Central Florida area, the N4HHA
repeater that hosts the Florida AMSAT Net in our area is still down due to
technical problems. I am trying to find out the status on it, but I believe it
will be off the air at net time tonight. I would recommend that all those
wishing to check into the net do so by linking through the NI4CE repeaters in
the West Central Florida area (see www.NI4CE.org) or through echolink at

Best "form" is probably not to have one. Wasn't there a post recently talking
about making a mirror by spinning casting resin in a shallow round dish?
Perhaps a good use for that old record (*) player gathering dust in the

Some satellite tracking software shows whether a satellite is in sunlight or
not.
I assume that this is to know whether it's being powered by the solar cells
when the battery is defunct.
Is there any other reason to know whether a satellite is in sunlight or the
shade?

For telemetry purposes it would make an interesting point to watch live
telemetry as the satellite passes from light to dark, or vice versa, and
notice the change of the charge current and voltage and temps of the solar
panels.
It would also be used for trying to visually see the object. Especially
helpful when the observer is in darkness but the satellite is illuminated.
Just last week I saw the ISS pass over while it was fairly dark, not
complete, yet plenty of sunlight at 200 or so miles above earth.

Good point. If it's in the Sun, it has vaporized! The best terminology(s)
would be "in sunlight" or "sunlight illuminated". Another one could be
"sunlight reflection".
As for a satellite being visible. It is required to be "sunlight
illuminated" to be seen since we can only see the reflection of light off of
its surface, it is not self illuminating. :) I recall seeing numerous
objects pass from light to dark and the item visually disappeared. Yet, I
kept track of the path and followed the object for a few seconds and I could
see it blank out some stars that happened to be in its path! Just follow
the orbital plane for a bit, but after about 5 to 10 seconds you lose track
of the path.

OK!. If you want a nice technical term, try "Helios photospheric
illumination." :)

SatPC32 says "Sat in Sun" and "Eclipse".
I'd written earlier, though, that it would be great if the
pass-prediction component of tracking software could be configured to
take illumination into account for those satellites that work on solar
panels only. We don't really need to know when DO-64, for example, is
rising if it is also in eclipse, and for software that automatically
switches from bird to bird, it can mean that one loses part of a pass
of another satellite waiting for the one that is in eclipse.
Similarly, when planning operations by means of the kind of charts
that HRD produces, it would be great to see blocks only for when AO-7
is in the sun, not for its entire pass.

It helps those "astronomers" that like to visually spot satellites. Spotting
the ISS and shuttle is quite popular.
