Subject: [amsat-bb] RE: Hamsat now VO-52
Hi AMSATs,
It is increadible that the name is still not changed.
Its even terrible that they even changed the HAMSAT
name in VO-52...
Now its like VUSAT (aka HAMSAT), instead of HAMSAT
(aka VUSAT)
I am awaiting for the "EAGLE" to be ready.
Like the HAMSAT has got another name by none
participants, I will give the "EAGLE" also another
name as none-participant in this project.
I will not name it as "EAGLE" but as "VULTURE", or any
other kind of ugly looking animal...
You think the satellite builder will like that ?
I didn't even mentioned the US (Eagle proud) hams...
Have a nice day x :o)

Another and far cheaper source of rotor cable is found at Home Depot.
Go to the PLUMBING-irrigation section rather than the electrical
area. They have seven conductor direct burial cable available.
Unfortunately, all conductors are the same size. We paralleled
two conductors feeding A6 and E6 to lower the voltage drop to the
motor. As to how flexible this cable might be after a few years,
remains unknown, but you may want to evaluate this source as well.

What's REALLY a shame is that the ARRL refuses to adopt a 1 QSO per pass or
even 1 QSO per FM sat rule for Field Day..... they actually ENCOURAGE the
type of operation that makes those birds practically useless FD weekend!

If it is a CW QSO. If it is FM, or phone or digital communications
of any sort, it should be releagted to the trash barrel. You have
your opinion, I have mine.
