Message:
Well, I finally did it! Last Thursday I made my first satellite
contact via RS-10. Yee-Haaa!! as they say. Other than chasing
myself all over the place due to doppler and not keeping my
transmissions brief, it really wasn't bad at all. After putting
things off for years, I really enjoyed myself. (Those comments for
any readers who have yet to actually take the plunge. Don't put it
off!) One problem, though, and a question. First, the problem: I
was using an R-7 for the down-link antenna, but noticed that if I
switched to the 20-75 trap dipole the signal might improve. Going
back and forth between antennas allowed me to keep contact. That got
me to wondering, though, if some other arrangement might work better.
What about crossed Yagis, fed with a 1/4 section? Maybe over a ground
plane? If this arrangement has merit, what lengths and spacings
would be optimal? Could I get a pattern similar to the Egg-beater I'm
using on 2M? Now the question: Is the down-link from RS-10 weaker
than from RS-12 or is it just my imagination? Thanks in advance.

I'm a little confused about the DOVE satellites (so what's new many
people shout together...) Is DO-17 the DOVE satellite? And what
modes, etc does it support? I'm trying to find the TLE's to add to
PCTRACK, and I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Someone recently
posted a large list of TLE, and the closest thing I find is DO-17.

Can anyone tell me where I can find STSORBIT via ftp?
I already have STSORBIT PLUS, and it's amazing.
However, my machine doesn't have the required math coprocessor, so it's
*painfully* slow.
Thanks,

IMHO, satellite transponder passbands are small enough that logging
of the transponder mode and operating mode (ie. B/SSB, J/FM, etc.)
and the satellite is more than adequate for any logging, QSLing and
record keeping requirements. In my log and on cards under the
'FREQ' column I put the satellite name and under 'MODE' the operating
modes as above.
