Shelley,
A while back, I posted a message in this forum regarding the availability,
for downloading, of data from the SETI project. Unfortunately, I was never
able to confirm whether there were any responses to the posting. Do you have
any leads?
Thanks,
MichaelMK

LL Grace is out of business according to the WinTrak guy? Wow. Then who
did we buy the KCT/T from last May?
Stick with Instant Track!! (how many v1.0's do *you* know that work so
well???)

Subject: RS birds usual down link
I'm attracted to the RS series of birds as a first foray into
satellite work. In particular, the 10m downlink seems very practical
at this point in the sun spot cycle. I have, then, a few questions for
the experienced:
1. I'm thinking of homebrewing my transmitter. Is the uplink usually
21 MHz, 144 MHz or evenly split between them?
2. What sort of power is practical for casual use of these birds?
I have heard of qsos with 2w in a dipole; is that remarkable or par
for the course?
3. Has anyone any experience using mobile whips (argh) as antennae for
this application?
Thanks in advance, VE3UWL
