G3RUH Provides Current & Future AO-13 Operating Schedules

G3RUH/DB2OS/VK5AGR  *** Future  AO-13 Transponder Schedule ***
Mode-B  : MA   0 to MA  40 !     from  1992 Aug 17 - Sep 21
Mode-S  : MA  40 to MA  50 !<- S transponder; B trsp. is OFF!
Mode-LS : MA  50 to MA  55 !<- S beacon + L transponder
Mode-JL : MA  55 to MA  70 !   This schedule operates
Mode-B  : MA  70 to MA 256 !   every orbit, every day.
Omnis   : MA 160 to MA  10 !     Blon/Blat 150/0

Mode B users are reminded that at MA 40, the Mode B transponder will be
heard to go OFF with a click.  Although you will still hear the Mode B
beacon, do not attempt to uplink as you will get no Mode B response;
however, you could interfere with Mode S.  Mode B returns at MA 70.

Note too that this schedule operates every orbit, every day.

QST de G3RUH 1992 Sep 10.  Magnetorquing from attitude 150/0
to 180/0 will commence on Sep 20 [Sun] 01:19 UTC, Orbit 3268,
MA count 224, and will continue for 6 perigees.  Estimated interim
attitudes are:

  Orbit Blon/Blat  Orbit Blon/Blat  Orbit Blon/Blat
  ----------------------------------------------------
   3268  147/-4    3269   154/-4    3270  160/-4
   3272  171/-2    3273   176/-1    3274  181/0
   3271  166/-4

  Accuracy +/- 5 degrees

The new schedule will be uploaded during Mode-L, Orbit 3272.  So 3272
(only) will contain two Mode J/L/S sessions: MA 40-70 and 130-160.

Magnetorquing is not an exact science, and there is always a
possibility of changes to the above plan and of unannounced
interruptions to the schedule.

G3RUH/DB2OS/VK5AGR  *** Future  AO-13 Transponder Schedule ***
Mode-B  : MA   0 to MA 130 !     from  1992 Sep 21 - Nov 23
Mode-S  : MA 130 to MA 140 !<- S transponder; B trsp. is OFF!
Mode-LS : MA 140 to MA 145 !<- S beacon + L transponder
Mode-JL : MA 145 to MA 160 !   This schedule operates
Mode-B  : MA 160 to MA 256 !   every orbit, every day.
Omnis   : MA 235 to MA  30 !     Blon/Blat 180/0

AMSAT-NA Operations Net Schedule

AMSAT Operations Nets are planned for the following times.  Mode B Nets
are conducted on AO-13 on a downlink frequency of 145.950 MHz and the
Mode J/L Nets on a downlink of 435.970 MHz.

 Date           UTC    Mode     Phs     NCS     Alt

26-Sep-92       1445   B        162     VE2LVC  W9ODI
 3-Oct-92       1830   B        162     N7NQM   W5IU
10-Oct-92       2120   J        145     WB6LLO  WA5ZIB

Any stations with information on current events would be most welcome.
Shuttle contact reports would be of interest. In the unlikely event
that either the Net Control Station or the alternate do not call on
frequency, any participant is invited to act as the NCS.

Slow Scan Television on AO-13

SSTV sessions will be held on UTC Saturdays and Sundays.  Mode J on a
downlink of 435.980 MHz, and Mode B immediately after Mode J on 145.960
MHz.  OPS NETS will take priority so look for SSTV activity immediately
after they conclude.

UO-22 & LO-19 Move Health & Welfare Traffic From Hawaii

KI6QE reports that UO-22 is playing a major role in moving message
traffic from the hurricane devastated areas in Hawaii around the world.
Working in conjunction with the HF packet bulletin board systems (BBS)
around the world, the traffic is collected and sent to Honolulu via 15M
packet and via UO-22.  From Honolulu, the traffic then goes directly to
the devastated areas via ham radio or by a Navy MARS station.  KI6QE
says that out of a 1000 pieces of traffic handled thus far, 20% has
been delivered using UO-22's BBS.

Earlier this week, KI6QE noted that UO-22's BBS was shutdown during a
very critical period.  A quick phone call to Ron Broadbent (G3AAJ) at
AMSAT-UK brought a quick response from the University of Surrey (UoS)
ground controllers to get the BBS up-and-running again.  In the mean
time, LO-19 was used as a back-up.  Despite the fact that it was the
middle of the night in the UK, the UoS team got UO-22's BBS working
again in one orbit.

KI6QE points out that PACSATs are a perfect resource for moving message
traffic from areas devastated by natural disasters.  He further states
that UO-22 has performed a great humanitarian service to the victims of
Hurricane Iniki.

[The AMSAT News Service (ANS) would like to thank KI6QE for the
information which went into this bulletin.]

Just a quick update for all those interested.

I have retrieved the face image files acquired at AUUG 1992 from Digital
(kudos to DEC for sponsoring the project and providing so much help in
terms of hardware and people).

A quick survey shows that there were around 160 fools (ahhh, subjects)
who had their mugs digitised. My thanks to all these people (you know
who you are!) for making Facesaver such a success.

I expect to have a directory of faces and associated information published
in the next AUUGN (the next one to go to press, which should be the next
but one that members recieve).

The data will also be placed on a public ftp server within the next few
weeks (location not certain yet). The resolution and format of the images
will depend on the amount of space available.

The facesaver code (a motif application that grabs an X window and stuffs
it away as a PPM file) is available for free. Interested parties should
send me some mail. Please don't expect this software to look like anything
but the hack it is.

Suggestions and comments are welcome...

congratulations, lucky you.

you should probably address this question to the conference organisers ACMS,
who are coincidentally also the AUUG Secretariat, ph 02 261 5994, 
fax 02 332 4066.  They will have details of each of the exhibitors etc.

To summarise what others have said and add a bit, the 2 Oz brands of compact
fluoros with replaceable tubes are:
       The Smart Lamp (ballast local, tube currently imported but may be locally-
                      made in the near future) ... from Target;
       Chemthorn (sp?)/Kemthorne - (don't recall countries of origin, but think
                      they were the same as for Smart Lamp) ...from K-Mart.

I have tried a Smart Lamp and am happy with it. The only problems with these
are their large size and the lack of a very low power version (9W) (equivalent to 40W
incandescent lamp), at least in the Smart Lamp range.

I understand the tubes of the 2 brands are interchangeable.

To get the best price, wait for the next sale!

The Phillips lamps have a poor power factor, i.e. there is a significant out-of-phase
component to the current drawn, hence the i-squared-R losses are larger. This is
more a problem for the power supplier and the environment than for the user.

Typical, probably say the imported one is better by definition... it is
all energy used transporting it to oz that makes the difference ;-(.

I heard the designer being interview on 3lo some time ago and he made a 
couple of interesting points.

Apparently the phillips globes load up the electricity grid something
awful and as a result actually cost a lot more to run than they aught
to.

Of the ones that are designed properly, his and one other I think, his
was by far the cheapest.

It was my understanding that his was the only one with the replacable
tube part.

Of the numerous ones of these globes I have around the house I have only
ever had the phillips one fail.

I bought two of these from Target on the weekend.  They are called Smart Lamp
made by Ballast Electronics (or is it Electronic Ballasts?) in Victoria.
They cost $23 on special for a starter and globe with replacement globes at
$14.  One of the two I bought failed within half an hour - the starter was
buggered, so it was refund time as I'd bought the last two.  The other was
still going this morning when I left for work...

As you may be aware from media reports, the Federal Government recently "
closed" Benders limestone quarry at Ida Bay.  This was done under the World 
Heritage Act to prevent further damage to the Exit Cave system part of which 
is directly beneath the quarry.   The quarry itself is within the World 
Heritage area.    

Ever since the quarry was "closed" the operator has been continuing work 
there extracting rock at an accelerated pace even though media reports have 
stated that no more work has been undertaken there since the closure.

The Federal Minister for the Environment (Ms Ros Kelly) is expected to 
announce today (Tuesday 29/9) that the operator can go ahead with another 
blast to help "rehabilitate the site".  This blast will move between 25,000 
and 30,000 tonnes of rock and will allow the quarry to continue to operate 
for at least another six months.   This is in direct response to pressure 
from the Tasmanian State government to allow continuing operation and 
expansion of the quarry.Alternative sources of limestone for use by the 
Pasminco E.Z. zinc works at Hobart and for agricultural lime are available 
in Tasmania.Violent confrontations have occurred at the site today between 
conservationists and pro-quarry groups.

In order to try to convince Ms Kelly that there is a wide community support 
base for the immediate & complete closure of the quarry, a national fax 
campaign stating such support for this is being undertaken from today.
Anyone who wishes to support this campaign can send their views by fax to Ms 
Kelly on 06-2734130. (i.e: at Parliament House, Canberra).

Hi Greg,

 > Does anybody know the name of the Australian made compact flouro bulb?

I spotted the Oz one in the record section (!) of either Target or KMart in
Camberwell, Victoria.

It was the version that accepted a new lamp rather than requiring a complete
unit replacement.

I can't remember the name of the company and I'm not sure of which shop of the
two it was, but this should help you track them down.

Andrew.

Well, the bulb is overseas made, the Ballast unit is the Kemthorne(sp). I know
I didn't throw the glossy out on Friday...
It is an electronic balast unit with an ES or BC fitting and a compact flouro
fitting for the tube. Note that you can use any 4 pin CF bulb of the correct
wattage. All the ECF units I have seen have used the redish low output phosphors
I assume to be close to tungsten colour balance. There is also an older choke
balast unit available. Atkins Carlyle Lighting Div, Colin St., perth havd the
later, Pro Lamp, Victoria Park the former. sorry I can find the damm leaflet
at the moment...
