     It would be pleasant to think of QRM as a sort of publicity
organ for the WIA, and, in its way, it probably does fulfil that
role.  However, over the last few months, our output has tended
to put us in the category of "technical bulletin" rather than a
widely-read news-sheet.    With the imminence of the 75th.
Anniversary Hamfest to be held over the weekend of June 8th and.
9th, a great deal of work is going on - on the part of a rather
small number of people in the WIA.   Some of it you hear about on
the broadcast, but not everyone is able to listen on Sunday mornings,
so it's important that the written word carries its share as well.
There are over 300 members of WIA in Tasmania and if each one of
those members took just a small part in the build up to the Hamfest,
then the occasion will be the roaring success that a 75th Anniversary
deserves to be.  Or are you going to be one of those who, after
sitting back and doing nothing, will complain that the whole event
didn't come up to scratch?    We need all the publicity we can get,
and every member can help in this.    Get all the information you
con from inside QRM and if you need more, ask Committee members,
particularly VK7DY, VK7KAD, VK7ZAR or VK7JK. Then talk about the
June weekend to others, not only amateurs, but friends and neighbours.
Our hobby may benefit as a whole from your efforts.

                US.A. on 2n.   by Harry, VK7CZ.
     Last year, while I was in America, in Michigan to await the
arrival of the first grandchild, although not having my full call very
long, I wrote to the necessary authorities and obtained a reciprocal
licence with the intention of doing some operating over there. I had
no equipment but intended to buy a 2m. rig while there.   I looked
through the manuals here and had almost decided on an ICOM 02AT. It's
rather interesting that looking at catalogues makes it easy these
days to ring for prices, even overseas.   To ring American suppliers
takes only a few seconds if model numbers are quoted.
    The baby arrived, mother and grandmother were busy. Grandfather
was a little less busy and set out to buy his rig. Again, from those
magazines, eventually a decision was made on where to buy. Then, how
do I get there, even having a car at my disposal?
    We were situated at Troy, 16 miles north of Detroit. The country
side was flat and the road system in one mile squares, with the roads
running north/south and east/west.  The E/W roads for convenience are
named 14 mile, 15 mile etc., which makes navigation pretty easy.
    To go to my selected shop in a small town on the Lake some 25
miles east, I had only to go to the corner from our unit, turn right
and stay on that road. It became a 2-lane, then a 4-lane (each way),
but stay on it I did until I eventually pu led off at the preselected
exit and lo and behold - there was Michigan Radio in what was virtually
a fishing village.
          The   sho p  was  run   by   a   man  and   wif  e  tea m.    He  was   out   ser vic ing    a

obtain from        Telemail,       UO9 & AO1P bulletins, AMSAT-UK's                   Oscar News, AMSAT's
Satellite Journal (ASJ)        and   Amateur Satellite        Report      (ASR) .  The type   of
input' in     wWhich I would be particularly         interested      is the 'Hints &     Kinks’
that   you have discovered over the yzars that would be                 of benefit to others,
in   particular the newcomer        to Amateur     Satellite      activities.      For  example
Charlie    Rufus's     (VK4UQ) method     of   matching a helical          antenna   feedpoint,
computer programs for       automated satellite         tracking or      decodeing telemetry,
homebrew    RS232    interfaces     for   the   VZ200       and   2ZX81    computers,   Mode   L
upconverters,      however    small   the    idea    or   information DON'T        keep  it   to
yoursel+f.   Another method of helping others            is   to have the answers to        your
gquestions published {n this NEWSLETTER           so    that    all   can benefit, so please
{f you have any      nagging question      do not hesitate to write seeking an answer
which   I will attempt to find and subsequently publish. For example - what is
the sigriificane     of   the   First   Derivative of Mean          Motion     in the Keplerian
Elements 2?7277          :

    For those interested in how John            produced    the printouts      on the opposite
    page, he    wro te  two   pro gra ms    for   the   Commod  ore  &4 bas ed  on inf orm ati on
        lis hed by  Jam es  Mil ler G3R  UH   in  ‘Os car   New s'  the AMS AT- UK Journa l.   If
    pub
    you would    like a listing of the program just send me an               SASE or write to
    Johrn direct for a copy of the program if you have a Commodore 6&4.


    James   Miller  G3RUH    has also                   written his own   version   of  Tom   Clark's
     rhi e’   program.  His.   version                    prints   out   another   very   interesting
    parameter   which  he    calls the                   'Squint  Angle’.   The   'Squint   Angle’ 1s
    defined    as   the    angle          between     the spin    axis    (the     axis      parallel     to axis of
    ‘he   antennas)       of    the       spacecraft      and    the   observer.        If    the   ’'Sguint   Angle’
    is greater than   38 degrees, then in   Jim's opinion there is  little point
    tn trvimg to work Oscar-10 as you our outside    the eftective capture   area
    @   the spacecraft’'s high gain antennas. Hopefully within a   week or so0 an
    up-to-date    version   of   this  program    should   be   available    from
    AMSAT-Australia            so    i    7on   are   interested       send   me   an SASE.
