I just drove up to my local hobby (actually model airplane, boat, railroad)
shop and it is no longer in business! It was there less than a month ago but
has since disappeared. The reason I went to the shop was to purchase some
brass strip 3/16ths inches wide for making the strip line tuned circuits for a
432 MHz preamplifier. But, since the store is no longer in business I had to
look elsewhere for some material.
On a "hunch", I stopped by a Michael's store (this is a chain of hobby shops
in the south) and "discovered" copper sheets that are several "mils" thick and
can be cut with common scissors. The sheets are 9.25 inches by 12 inches and
the cost was $5.99. Considering that the brass strips were usually $1.29 and
were about 9 inches long the copper sheet was definitely a bargain.
The copper is sold for embossing projects and is 100 percent copper (and is a
"product of the U.S.A.). The thickness is sufficient for receiving strip lines
and for lower powered transmitting strip lines (I would guess up to 100 watts,
maybe even more). What I bought was the AMACO brand part number 50066R and,
again, the price was $5.99 for the sheet. It comes in a plastic tube about 2
inches in diameter.
Although I did not go across the street to the Hobby Lobby store, I would
think that they would handle either the exact product or a similar product.
Since metal embossing is fairly popular I expect that most general hobby
stores would have similar copper sheets.

I have a copy of the PacComm SPIRIT-2 manual, 3rd Rev. Ed., Copr. 1995.
Do you need specific information or a copy of the manual?

Anyone who needs grid square EM46 in Arkansas, I will be
operating portable this weekend with the handheld setup.

My wife had an intensive day out of the house, so we decided to take a
walk when she arrived home. Mild Santa Ana wind conditions here in
Riverside, CA - but not bad enough to start blowing dirt around. A
very clean, crystal-clear evening.
I knew I had a pass of AO-51 comin' at 6:05 ... but the relationship
took precedence...(grin).
Just for the heck of it, I stopped walking at 6:10PM Pacific and gazed
upwards. "By the way, we have a great pass of... WOW! DAMNATION!"
There it was. AO-51 streaking across the sky South-to-North - right
where it was supposed to be.
Don't know how to log a VISUAL contact - but it sure was exciting!

Very cool, Clint (the AO-51 sighting and the proper prioritization of the
relationship!)
Under what conditions can I expect to see satellites? Evening after sunset
but with sun still shining on the LEO objects?

Well, for me tonight it was (a) a beautiful, clear sky and (b) about
an hour after the sun setting - on a (c) high-elevation directly-
overhead pass.
It wasn't the brightest object visible - but it sure was dramatic!

I have often seen the ISS in the evening sky. Its elevation is about 200 miles
up. It is a fairly large object measuring more than 310 feet wide and 225 feet
long. It is about 150 feet in height. It is too big to fit into a football
field at 310' x 225'. It is quite the sight. A couple of weeks ago after I
worked Richard I saw the ISS by stepping outside. It was a great dark morning
and the ISS probably had the brightness on the solar scale of 1. The sun is -
27 and the brightest object for us on earth. The -27 being the bright side ;
as you go to a more positive number the object is dimmer.
AO 51 is about 25 cm on a side. That is about the size of a sack of groceries.
I do not know the exact height of AO 51 but I know it is higher than the ISS
(200 miles). I think AO 51 is about 250 to 300 miles up.
I believe it is impossible to get a visual sighting of something that small at
that height. There are thousands of objects in orbit around our earth. A bag
of groceries at 300 miles up would take more seeing ability than a human set
of eyes can provide.

Was hoping to set up my TH-D700 for UHF/VHF split to work this bird. Tried
using the programming software but it wont take. I
guess these radio's were not made to do split like the THG-7 will. Do I need
to use A and B VFO to be able to work this bird?
The TH-D700 is not exactly the most user friendly radio to use without a cheat
sheet. If I set up the vfo's to work this bird can
that setup be saved to go there again in one of the programmable settings?
Thanks

I've often wondered about this--I have no direct knowledge on this, but
what you say seems reasonable.
Except that I'm pretty sure that US Air Force people saw Sputnik. Not sure
how big it was compared to AO 51.
The other factor here might be the sun--glinting in the sun, wouldn't AO 51
be far more visable ?

Hi,
You would look for the sunlight reflection from the
satellite.The satellite itself would be too small to see
from earth.

I can see that I didn't word that very well. Time for bed! What
I meant was when the reflections were the best possible from
the standpoint of being on the earth, would AO 51 then be
visable?

Hi!
I leave for Vancouver tomorrow, and will spend the next few days up
there. While I am there, I hope to be able to work some satellite
passes on the FM birds and maybe AO-16 from CN89 and possibly from
Whistler in CO80. This trip will not be primarily a radio trip, so
I do not know how active I will be over the next few days. I will
use the callsign CJ7EWK for any satellite operating.
My Canadian call is VA7EWK, but I will use the CJ prefix instead of
VA for any satellite operating I do. CJ is one of the special
prefixes authorized for Canadian amateur operators by Industry Canada
during October and November 2008 to commemorate the 150th aniversary
of the founding of the Crown Colony of British Columbia.
I will send QSL cards to any stations that make contacts with CJ7EWK
during this trip. If you wish to send a QSL card for CJ7EWK, please
send them via WD9EWK. 73!

Hi Steve and Jim,
I well remember seeing Sputnik pass over several times and listening to
the beep, beep , beep from the beacon, which from memory was on around
20MHz. Two ham friends and I sat on my shack roof to observe the passes,
here in Napier, New Zealand.
