Subject: dx on RS-10...
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu

Yesterday I worked a VE2-stn on RS-10. I'm looking out for some other
dx-stations which would try to make a dx-contact via rs-10.

My QTH is in jo61ab (12E and 51N), near Leipzig.

Everybody is invited to make up a sket. The max. distance from
my QTH covers the east-coast of USA down to Boston. A distance of
5000-6000km from my QTH should be possible.

Well, if such an FAQ is going to be posted, someone should take
responsibility for doing it (either the original author, or a proxy).
That way, it's clear who is accepting and merging in changes and
feedback.  Also, a single poster has knowledge of when it was last
posted, and (hopefully) will post it on a regular schedule (not every
week, but not just once a year either).

Else we may have just a lot of chaos and arguments.

Opinions?

Subject: TF active on AO-13.
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu

Hello All.
Sunday the 20th of March we put up an ground station
for AO-13 to show Amateur radio through satellites in
a open house of the Technical School of Reykjavik.
There is now a working amateur club in this school that
hopes to get fundings to buy a rotor and a FT-736R 
and put up antenna s for satellite work.

Now we have up a station witch consists of:

FT-736R full-duplex all mode transceiver.
RFconcepts 30w in 100W out amlifier on 70cm.
ARR. preamplifier on 2m.
Yaesu G-5600 az/el Rotor.
Tonna 2x9 elements on 2m and 2x19 on 70cm.

All the equipment comes from TF3TXT and TF3BNT.
We are going to operate AO-13, AO-10, AO-21, AO-27,
from the 20th of march, and hopefully to friday the 25th.

After that I (TF3BNT) and TF3TXT are going to put up our
Mode-B gear and be active all summer, Allso look for TF8ITT,
Ps. We are going to be active on MODE-S later in the summer.
(we hope).
As soon as the weather conditions get better, We will put up
our gear and be ready for action. :-)

So I say 73 de TF3BNT

My adress is :

Benedikt Sveinsson  TF3BNT
Hateigsveg 2
105 Reykjavik
Iceland

e-mail : bnt@rhi.hi.is

73 CUL on AO-10,AO-13,AO-21,AO-27  and PHASE 3D hopfully someday.
