Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Downconverters for Field Day
I can attest to the beauty of the Transystem and corner reflector setup. Today
I worked the 1700 pass of AO-51 from my car stopped on a highway on an eight!
degree pass. Worked w7JPI, W6ZQ, AI7W, and k5VGI? holding the downconverter
and corner reflector out the window, fed to a TH-F6A HT. Uplink was 50w from a
DR-605 to a 1/4 whip on the luggage rack of my Explorer.
The setup you may have seen at the Dayton demos is practically identical to
what Bob is offering here.
If you plan on trying AO-51 for field day, and if you can you should, PLEASE
get out this week and try it. This really goes for any sat if you are rusty or
it's been a while...
73, and Good Luck,
Drew KO4MA

FROM K5GNA:
I have the following items ready to ship via US Postal Service Priority
Mail. With payment by PayPal, they will ship this Saturday or Sunday and
should get there by Wednesday, June 22, in time for Field Day. I live
near the main 24 hour by 7 days a week Airport Post Office here in
Houston, so they will ship before Monday.
QTY = 10 of the 2.4 GHz, AIDC 3731 downconverters with dipole, 2 meter
IF and with the small corner reflector with 12 dBi gain and ball swivel
mount hardware @ $135.00 each shipped Priority Mail in the USA, lower
48. These corner reflectors and downconverters will be in stock for a
while.
QTY = 6 of the 2.4 GHz, AIDC 3731 downconverters with dipole, 2 meter IF
and with the 24" by 18" grid dish with 19 dBi gain and mounting hardware
@ $150.00 each shipped Priority Mail in the USA, lower 48. These are the

Gentleman and Ladies,
The answer is quite SIMPLE....
Work 1 station on each bird, then QUIT.
"Gentleman's Agreement"!
You already got your 100 bonus points!
Give some others a chance, and QSY somewhere else on our Amateur bands. 160
meters to 10 GHZ or wherever your fancy is...
No need for PILE-UPS on the satellites!
73, and hope to work you on FD!
We will be running N6IJ
