* OSCAR SKN BEST FISTS *
========================
Many thanks to all who participated in our 22nd Annual Straight Key Night
on OSCAR, 1 January 1994. The following "Best Fist" nominations have been
received: W1NU, WQ3Y and W6HDO. Although we didn't ask that logs be
submitted, several participants also reported working AMSAT-NA's esteemed
president, W3XO/5, in one of Bill's rare appearances on CW (PVRC members
especially will appreciate the significance of this occasion). An
"honorary" Best Fist nomination goes to you, Bill; let's hope that more SSB
ops will follow your fine example, dust off their old pump handles, and
enjoy the fun.
See you all next year!

* OSCAR-13 ZRO TEST SKED *
==========================
The ZRO Memorial Technical Achievement Award Program, or just "ZRO Test"
has a new schedule for February and March, 1994, via AMSAT-OSCAR-13. This
activity is a test of operating skill and equipment performance.
During a typical ZRO run, a control station will send numeric code groups
using CW at 10 words-per-minute. At the beginning of the run, uplink power
from the control station is set to match the general beacon downlink
strength. This is level "zero". The control operator will send and repeat
a random five-digit number, then lower his uplink power by 3 dB (half power)
and repeat the procedure with a new random number (level "1"). This will
continue to a level 30 dB below the beacon (level "A").
A participating listener monitors the downlink signals till he can no longer
copy the numbers. Those who can hear the beacon will qualify for the basic
award by copying the code group heard at level "zero". The challenge is to
improve home-station performance to a point where the lower-level downlink
signals can be copied (levels 6 through A). To date, only one station
(Darrel Emerson, AA7FV) has successfully copied level "A".
The following schedule of Mode "B" tests were chosen for convenient
operating times and favorable squint angles. The tests can be heard on
145.840 MHz. Andy WA5ZIB will conduct all the tests. Mode "JL" tests will
no longer occur due to the failure of AO-13's 70-cm transmitter.
Day Date (UTC) Time Areas covered
Sunday Feb. 20, 1994 0330 UTC NA, NW SA, Japan, Pacific
Saturday Feb. 26, 1994 1930 UTC NA, SA, Europe, Africa, ME
Saturday Mar. 19, 1994 1930 UTC NA, SA, Europe, Africa
Saturday Mar. 26, 1994 2315 UTC NA, SA
Note that the dates and days are shown in "UTC", thus the first test listed
occurs at 9:30 PM CST Saturday night (the 19th). Any changes will be
announced as soon as possible via the AMSAT HF and AO-13 Operations Nets.
All listener reports with date of test and numbers copied should be sent to
Andy MacAllister WA5ZIB, AMSAT V.P. User Operations, 14714 Knights Way Drive,
Houston, TX 77083-5640. A report will be returned verifying the level of
accurate reception. An S.A.S.E. is appreciated but not required.
Information about the AMSAT Awards Program can be found on page 197 of the
"Proceedings of the AMSAT-NA Tenth Space Symposium" (1992). This paper,
covering all the AMSAT-NA awards including specifics on the ZRO Test, was
reprinted on page 10 in the March/April 1993 issue of "The AMSAT Journal".
The ZRO Test information provided in the article covers test procedures,
means for obtaining certificates and gives some historical background
about the program. Reprints of the article can be obtained for an S.A.S.E.

* DISCOVERY-MIR RADIO LINK *
============================
The Space Shuttle Discovery's crew and the MIR Russian space station made an
Amateur Radio contact on 08-Feb-94 during a period of time when Discovery
was over the south Pacific and MIR was over the Caribbean.
"We fly during a lot of time with Sergej and I wish a good work with his
North American collegues, and a not problems return to the Earth", said
Valery Polyakov one of the MIR cosmonauts. "Thanks, I heard you perfect",
replied Krikalev in Russian.

* AMSAT HF PBBS *
=================
WT0N-3 in St. Paul, MN, USA will be on 10.127 LSB (30 meters) Monday
through Saturday from 1600 UTC until 23OO UTC. This station will carry
all AMSAT bulletins and Keps. It will also carry other satellite related
items such as "SpaceNews". This PBBS will be set up on 300 baud HF packet,
but will also be available for AMTOR or PACTOR operations if there is a need
to do so. At this time, the PBBS will be set up as an experiment and any
comments and suggestions should be directed to the sysop, BJ Arts, WT0N, at
any one of the following addresses:
PACKET: WT0N@WB0GDB.#STP.MN.USA.NOAM
INTERNET: BJARTS@STTHOMAS.EDU

* FO-20 SCHEDULE *
==================
The FO-20 command station announced that a slight malfunction in the onboard
command system had been detected. As a result, analog mode operation
arranged from 09-Feb-94 will be performed on schedule, but there is a
possibility of interruption due to satellite ground station control.
The present schedule is as announced before:
Analog mode:
09-Feb-94 07:15 -to- 16-Feb-94 07:40 UTC
23-Feb-94 08:05 -to- 02-Mar-94 06:40 UTC
09-Mar-94 07:05 -to- 16-Mar-94 07:30 UTC
23-Mar-94 07:52 -to- 30-Mar-94 08:15 UTC
Digital mode: Unless otherwise noted above.

The warranty on the FT-530 is 1 year. Whether you return the radio because
of the DTMF squelch would really depend on whether or not you; a) want a radio
that functions according to it's specification and/or b) might want to use
the feature at some future date. I have never really used DTMF squelch but
it bothered me that the radio was "defective". Since it was under warranty,
the total cost to fix it now was the cost of shipping. If I waited a year,
the price would rise to at least $156! If I discover any other problems,
I will certainly return it again if the warranty is still in effect. It
might also give me a better resale price since I can point out that the
radio has had all factory improvements performed. As for jumper 13, I had
removed it but was told by Yaesu that this was an authorized modification.
Yaesu does publish this modification and I believe a copy is available
for the asking.
Hope this answers your questions...
