However it happened, a legitimate QSO definately took place.

The query is what we call the method that linked the stations rather than
whether it actually happened.

Do it the easy way... leave your computer clock on UTC.

Satellites in series tend to be called a "dual hop" or "duo-hop" mode.
Satellites in parallel are a new technique, and just as we use "cross-band"
for terrestrial contacts made in parallel on two bands, "cross-satellite"
sounds like a good name for putting two birds in parallel.

144.490 for those of us in North America.  The UHF frequency is for the

I believe the UHF frequency is from when they had the cross-band repeater
active.
The current uplink frequency is 144.490.
I don't know if there are any plans to use the cross-band repeater again. It
sure was nice on Field day!

Thanks guys, that is what I have been operating from this end but heard
others talking about the UHF frequency, and as I said all that I read said
144.490.....

Now to put up a real antenna and more then 50 watts so I can be heard.....
Heard VE4AMU worked today and that was too close to home....

It is not a cross-satellite contact but rather a dual satellite operation as
if someone was transmitting with 2 ht's at the same time on 2
different repeater!! It is a loss of bandwidth and if you want to see a real
cross satellite contact check the PCSAT and PCSAT-1 or 2?
experiment.

The only one + i see it's could be the choice to choose between 2 downlinks
but i don't know what the real results will be?

I presume that by "old time" you mean to ask "When does Daylight Savings
Time revert to Standard time?"
To understand the way you change the clock, the old adage says
"Spring Ahead, Fall Back"

Here are two references on the subject:
The US Naval Observatory
(http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/daylight_time.php
<http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/daylight_time.ph>) or
The California State Energy Commission
(http://www.energy.ca.gov/daylightsaving.html)

Both sources give the epoch as 02:00 EDT/CDT/MDT/PDT on Sunday, Nov.2,
at which time you set your clock back to 01:00 EST/CST/MST/PST (except
in Indiana and Arizona). Here on the East Coast, my offest between UTC
and local times changes from 4 to 5 hours.

In Europe, the EU (http://www.worldtimezone.com/daylight.html) makes the
change one week earlier, on Oct.26. So if you are flying to/from Europe
in the next couple of weeks, you can expect airline timetables to be
screwed up.

In the Southern hemisphere the pattern is swapped as the sun moves south
of the equator. See the worldtime
<http://www.worldtimezone.com/daylight.html> web site for details.

73, Tom

No. Under the old rules, time would have changed next weekend (on the last
Sunday in October).

>Seems like my sat passe are off by a bunch using Instant Track.

You can always check what time InstantTrack thinks it is by looking in the
upper left corner of the screen. If you then hit the Z key, InstantTrack will
toggle between local time and UTC.

InstantTrack does not know the new rules for Daylight Saving Time. If you
change your computer's clock for DST, or allow Windows to do so, you'll need
to reconfigure InstantTrack each time. This is covered in the InstantTrack FAQ
at http://www.amsat.org/amsat/intro/itfaq.html

I would expect that transmitting to AO-7 mode B, and hearing the downlink

I have a small amount of experience in this ;-)

I've successfully worked about half a dozen contacts (not trying very
hard) with a Trio TH-F7 HT and a homebrew Arrow-type antenna, and a
fairly "approximate" diplexer.  The antenna is a 3-element Yagi for 2m
and a 5-element Yagi for 70cm.  The HT puts out only 5W on high power,
but it can wake up AO-51, SO-50 and AO-27.

Unfortunately AO-51 seems to be plagued by the same cretins that jam
repeaters with silly noises and bursts of music at certain times.  Even
when they're not doing that there's always someone trying to run 2.5kW
into a massive stacked antenna.  I've noticed that these are also the
ones that sit there calling "CEEEE KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  CEEEEEEEEEEE
KYOOOOOOO CEEEEEEEEEEEE KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO <whistle whistle whistle>
CEEEEEEEEEE KYOOOOOOOOOO CEEEEEEEEEEE KYOOOOOOOOOOOOO CEEEEEEEEEEEEE
KYUUUUUUU" for nearly the whole damn pass without pausing for breath.

Hello all

Anyone more experienced with querying the predict server?  The only
documentation I have for querying it is the demo.c file which comes with
predict.

What I want to do, after I have built the list of satellites using the
GET_LIST function is to build a list of AOS and LOS times for each satellite
in say the next 24hrs.

Is there a PREDICT command to do this?  Closest I have seen is the PREDICT
"SAT NAME" time command, but this gives me a prediction of the satellite
position at a certain time.

Regards
