VE3VRW Amateur Radio Satellite Gateway

VE3VRW provides a downlink gateway which he links into our Repeater Network. The Gateway can be heard in the Toronto area via the SSPBD Amateur Radio Network or on the internet via Echolink ( VA3SF-R )

The gateway is currently tracking AO51 , AO27, SO50 and ISS automatically using Don's AZ/EL rotators and Don's own designed Mac Tracking Software

AO-51 Satellite Demonstration

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.
