But this tower not exclusively for QO-100, I suppose.

For QO-100 just a small tripod with 60cm dish would be sufficient.

Over the weekend I am probably /p in JO40/41. Your freq please?

73 DK2ZF+

YES, it is

DK2ZF JO43VH

using 60cm portable or 1.40cm from home

YES, and if you look around the old posts you will see experiments with a LNB-only. Firtst reported by DJ2QZ from DL0LN, some months ago. +

and now the community is anxious waiting to see

ur showp up on the transponder. everything seems to be well. 73 ROLF +

Just finished some tests with these antennas.

Conclusion: corner reflector - vertically polarized

just 12 dB weaker than the good old AO-40 antenna.

stns wkd via QO-100 see below

Quote from DH2VA

Assuming the direction to the satellite is correct, 5W and 22dBi should work nicely. So either you don't have 5W or the antenna is not 22dBi.

there is nothing to add...

just use a 65cm dish with G3RUH and you will be happy. There are so many busy contributors here. Rarely active on the xponder

Greetings from Vienna - (portable equipment not ready yet)

after 10 mins of dots you should give a callsign...

the dots are 3dB above noise,

more or less than my suppressed carrier when I am not talking.

What will be the conclusion? Prefer two-way contacts.

February 14th we found that 50mW to a 60cm dish is sufficient for two qsos in cw 539 +

AMSAT USA? Asfar as I know its AMSAT NA.

Member since 1973 (#493) and Life member LM-34 or so.

Yes, no mention about QO-100. More about the cubesats.

But still remember IWI with C-C-rider and many other proposals. Wait and see.

active on QO-100 since the official opening.

with 100mW at the dish: 539 in CW seems that its working...

Instead of onethousands words - just a picture

old RX-dish from AO-40 G3RUH-patchfeed. +

QRP OR QRO???

Saturday Fe. 16th 17:08

just returned from GHz- Tagung Dorsten and found a real QRP signal: 549 on .571

QRP test 75mw into 95cm dish de PA1SDB Winschoten

well done!

At around 11:50 UTC A71A appeared on .710.

DK2ZF was lucky enough to made the QSO number one.

At first Hamid was on the Mike, later DB2OS and DH2VA

They are running 300mW into 2.4m dish . The group will return on mondy.

Well done boys !

Tu ALL for the correct BCN qrg, i have a little offset but it doesnt matter AMATEUR RADIO is EXPERIMENTAL by definition.

And: satellite means DUPLEX since the old OSCARS. You can run and tune simultaneously your own transmission by strength and quality.

And now waiting for the upcoming procedure

LOVELY!!! To hear ths morning the good old sound of AO-10/13/40 PSK telemetry.

Unfortunately i donated my PSK equipment some years ago to a friend...

Also the CW beacon on 489.550 is nice to hear.

THANKS TO THE TEAM DOWN THERE IN DOHA

Also kaufe ich mir eine große Schüssel. Kommt günstiger als große PA

Ja, genau so macht man es - preiswerter

Hi grandfather Zlatko from grandfather Rolf, yes it was a pleasure to work you from your balcony yesterday at 17:04 UTC. Here a better operating posn. INSIDE and ant outside... Your signal fine so nothing to complain. We will have a lot of fun with the new bird, No. 100 73 Rolf
