Every Friday a group of us radio guys meet at the Flour Garden Bakery and coffee shop in Grass Valley to talk radio. This morning Grover, K7TP, passes out some modified computer mice to accept a key for Morsemail operation. After the mice are passed out, we start on our AO-51 satellite pass. What follows was not part of the plan. N1ASA tells us how to correctly do this! www.wku.edu Satellite Predictions, set up an account at www.heavens-above.com Morsemail brasspounder.com AO-51 www.amsat.org Arrow Antennas www.arrowantennas.com Pocketsat www.bigfattail.com 73 – Randy

Dear Randy,
I really enjoy your Top Gear Radio Amateur Video’s I wish we could more people doing this.

I wonder, will there be any future announcements of moon bounces? I am now stationed in Japan so I should at least be able to pick up something. Right now I’m just running off of a VX-6r until the ICOM mobile rig arrives (With the rest of my equipment) keep up the good work on uploading and documenting your work. I find it enjoyable to watch.

Oh you’re with me. Since the Alzhiemer’s kicked in I am less and less shocked of odd things like people waiting for me in my car. Just kidding K7!
January 20th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
its good to see that you made light of it though and still had a blast. It does a heart good to keep things light even when they are not going well. Great vid

We were certainly amateurs that day!
January 20th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
well, I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one that experiences small setbacks like this, and it was actually all caught on tape too. You guys all kept a very good spirit though and remained jovial even though things didn’t work out as planned

I like it when Paul looks up as if he’s going to see the sat. Natural insticint. We all do it. I use Orbitron for tracking sats. The best out there. freestanding. No need for internet(except kep updates). Tracks up to 4000? sats. Anyhow lots. Tell the guys about it Randy.
