SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.025
SAREX Keps & Update: 10/28

Thursday 10/28/93 @ 08:00 UTC

The last school group contact was completed yesterday.  The Portsmouth HS
in Portsmouth, New Hampshire had a telebridge contact using stations in
California (Ralph Warner, N6MNN) and Texas (Bob Douglas, W5GEL).  The
students asked 5 questions during this bridge contact.

Hams across the U.S. and around the world continue to work the Shuttle
Columbia on both voice and packet.  Moreover, the completion of school
group contacts has cleared several school backup passes for possible
general QSO opportunities.  While the SAREX Working Group cannot fully
guarantee availability, there is a high probability that the STS-58 crew
will be ready to take general calls over the continental U.S. on these
passes.  Two of these "scheduled" passes remain.  These include orbit
178 at MET 11 days 1 hour 42 minutes (10/29 at 16:35 UTC) and orbit 192
at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC).  Please note
that the astronauts operated voice during yesterday's "scheduled" pass
which occurred on 10/27 at 14:59 UTC (Orbit 145).  Also note that hams on
the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia crew on several other orbits
yesterday.

Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, is the official SAREX
set for today.  Please note that there is only a six second difference
between element set GSFC-025 (released two days ago) and element set GSFC-
031.

        The spacecraft has been propagated to the next ascending
        node, and the orbit number has been adjusted to bring it
        into agreement with the NASA numbering convention.

SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.025
SAREX Keps & Update: 10/28

Thursday 10/28/93 @ 08:00 UTC

The last school group contact was completed yesterday.  The Portsmouth HS
in Portsmouth, New Hampshire had a telebridge contact using stations in
California (Ralph Warner, N6MNN) and Texas (Bob Douglas, W5GEL).  The
students asked 5 questions during this bridge contact.

Hams across the U.S. and around the world continue to work the Shuttle
Columbia on both voice and packet.  Moreover, the completion of school
group contacts has cleared several school backup passes for possible
general QSO opportunities.  While the SAREX Working Group cannot fully
guarantee availability, there is a high probability that the STS-58 crew
will be ready to take general calls over the continental U.S. on these
passes.  Two of these "scheduled" passes remain.  These include orbit
178 at MET 11 days 1 hour 42 minutes (10/29 at 16:35 UTC) and orbit 192
at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC).  Please note
that the astronauts operated voice during yesterday's "scheduled" pass
which occurred on 10/27 at 14:59 UTC (Orbit 145).  Also note that hams on

the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia crew on several other orbits
yesterday.

Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, is the official SAREX
set for today.  Please note that there is only a six second difference
between element set GSFC-025 (released two days ago) and element set GSFC-
031.

 NOTE - This element set is based on NORAD element set # 031.
        The spacecraft has been propagated to the next ascending
        node, and the orbit number has been adjusted to bring it
        into agreement with the NASA numbering convention.

Yes I have put my 10 m Radio Shack rig aside (HTX-100), but if you
want to use it for satellite work as a if or driver for a two meter
up link there is a problem. It only covers 28-29.7 MHz. So info on
how to extend its range, especially on rx to a full 2 MHz or perhaps
even wider would be appreciated. I have NO interest in CB. I agree
that it makes a great down link for the RS satellites, but it should
make a good if and driver for a transverter as well.

I post this so many times, once more will not make a difference.
