I try my luck at working AO-51. Higher quality over at google video- http://video.google.com/videop... Bracket video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... N1ASA tells us how to correctly do this! http://www.wku.edu/ksgc/sats.p... I use Orbitron - Satellite Tracking software. It is free, you can download it from: http://www.stoff.pl A very good web based site for satellite prediction is: http://www.heavens-above.com/ Grid squares are used for location. My grid is CM99. You can learn more about this at; http://www.arrl.org/locate/gri... Arrow Antennas- http://www.arrowantennas.com/ Randy

At 8:11 you cease transmission, but do not identify your station?

I enjoyed this. I'd like more "instruction" about the how to do it portion. I see what you've done, I need measurements and tools and wires instruction. For example, I didn't hear what band or what kind of HT, etc....supposing your working low watts into 440-2m dual bander but uncertain as to how to set it all up. Is there another video you've done all this with? Tnx, 73, Donn, KA0SOH

Nothing really, look around your local hardware and sporting goods store. Randy

Just starting out and am ordering the Arrow antenna. Can you recommend a compass and/or inclinator (sp?) and any other devices which would be helpful? Thanks. Steve, W2WX

And all that kids know now a days is email and text messages ! Too bad. Fantastic that some hams show these videos to show those not in the know what they can do ! Part science - part fun...make that lots of fun ! Well done. 73's Kd6inb

They have slightly different obits. They will drift apart over time. Randy

Yesterday around 7:40 both AO51 and SO50 were over kansas city. Heard people from Ontario to Florida U. An hour later they were both near you. Do they always fly together like that?

Very good! Can you tell me this antenna manufacturing size? Thank you!
