Toward the end of that pass I heard what sounded like a Fire Dept. doing a
nightly test with an announcement, just wondering if anyone else could hear
it.

Greetings all,
I'm enroute on a merchant marine ship from the Persian Gulf to Diego Garcia
(in grid MI62) and am QRV on AO-51 and
SO-50 with a Kenwood TH-6FA and Arrow-2. I haven't heard any activity on these
birds during the evening passes but
given the region I'm in and the gear I'm using, that may not be all too
surprising.
Available SO-50 passes tend to occur during my work hours, so I can only try
to be on for those.
I should be in grid MK14 at the next available AO-51 pass at 11/1350Z. We're
due to arrive at Diego Garcia around
16/0300Z.
While I'm at Diego Garcia (scheduled to be there until April 2009), my ship
will do various short term (1 to 3
days) events but should remain in grid MI62 or neighboring grids for most of
the time I'm there.
73 for now,
Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC

Hey Graham--
Make sure not to use the "UV resistant" monofiliment fishing line. If I
remember correctly, we had a hard time finding non-UV proof fishing line
in our local stores when we were trying different antenna tying methods
for our CubeSats.
Later!

Hi Peter
The audio isolation transformers (1:1) or the optical IC may be?prevent flow
of 9k6 baud data
in some interfaces ( Notice I said may be).
Use direct wires between radio data socket (pin 9600)
to?PC soundcard mike input or line input (I'm using mike input).
Also take the sound (data!) direct from your?PC to data?pin.
Make sure your radio at 9600
Key your rig using any interface (for sure use only?the key line, Audio direct
connected as mention above)
Setup AWGPE for 9k6
UISS software?doesn't want any additional setup

The Audit firm is going to start the 2008 Audit January 15, 2009 in an
attempt to get it out in a more timely manner.
To that end, I need to ask all of you to submit your VRS volunteer time
reports to the web site prior to December 31 of this year. I have work to do
on that data and need the first couple weeks in 2009 to get that done..
SO, PLEASE SUBMIT ANY UNREPORTED VOLUNTEER TIME SPENT FOR AMSAT ASAP...
Thanks and have a great holiday season.
Regards,
Gunther Meisse
AMSAT Treasurer.
