AMSAT News Service Bulletin 026.04 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. JANUARY 26, 2003
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-026.04
The AO-40 QSO Party is this weekend, 24-27 Jan UTC, He wonders what ideas
people might have to make the event successful and minimize disruption to
those who are on the satellite but not participating in the QSO party. He
starts with three suggestions...
1. Make sure your signal is 10db below the level of the MB. I leave one VFO
tuned to the MB and it is easy to compare your level to the MB with just two
button pushes.
2. Pick a spot in the passband away from the usual active area just above
the MB. He suggests either MB+75 kHz and above or MB-25KHz and below.
He points out that the passband is 250 kHz wide and extends from 2401.225 to
2041.475.
3. Operators should have an "operating event" or "party" attitude. It will
only take a few aggressive big guns to make people decide that these type of
events should never again be held on satellites.
