Who's Doing Digital ATV
Here is an email from Dave G8ADM:
Hi The following are known to be active on 70cm with Digital
ATV. There has been quite an increase during 2009. If you know of any others, please let me know. Most stations transmit on 436.0 MHz and use a Symbol
Rate of 2 MS/s FEC varies, RF bandwidth about 2 MHz.
Talkback: 144.750 MHz, FM. I hope that this is of interest. 73's, Dave. G8adm --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another DATV Update
from Ken, W6HHC
Hi Bryon N6IFU,
Here is a DATV update that you may want to put in your
ATV newsletter.
I just finished a small project for TAPR, the organization
that puts on the Digital Communications Conference each
year jointly with the ARRL. My project was to get all of the
DCC 2009 ABSTRACTS and free downloads of PDFs of conference papers up on the TAPR WEB site.
The TAPR web site also now has two recent PowerPoint
files on DATV (downloadable) that were both presented
in 2009:
"Digital Television - the new Ham frontier" by WA8RMC
of ATCO
"Planning a DATV Station on DVB-S" by W6HHC and
KB6CJZ of OCARC
The full set of DCC2009 presentation files can be found at:
www.tapr.org/pub_dcc.html
I hope that some of your readers may find internet access
to these DATV presentations useful.
73....de Ken W6HHC Orange County Amateur Radio Club W6HHC@ARRL.net

ATN-CA Repeater Report
____________________________________
______________________________________ Repairs Needed for the ATN-CA Repeaters ________________________________________ Blueridge:
1. Establish link from Mt. Potosi Mt. Wilson: Oat Mtn.: 1. Replace plastic wire ties with appropriate fasteners. 2. Tune 2.4 GHz link dipole for better SWR. It would be a
good idea to sweep the 1200 MHz antenna at the same
time as well. Santiago Peak: 1. Remove KC6UQH's call and Palomar from the W6ATN
repeaters ID's (late spring early summer 08 when the new controller is installed) 2. Look into weak signal getting into one of the inputs.
3. Find intermittent receive problem for link from Oat Mtn..(1/24/09)
4. Resolve problems with WiFi getting into receiver for Snow Peak
& Point Loma (April 28, 2009)
5. Install new 5 GHz transmitter once it is repaired (3/10/09)
Snow Peak:
1. 2.4 Ghz input is operational but has audio problems due to
receiver problems on the network hub.. July 23, 2009
2. The 1200 MHz output does work and you can watch.
Point Loma, W6RDF: No Repairs Needed/Fully Operational
Trustee Robert Swain, KA4JSR
1. Off the air do to AC problems at the shack.
Mount Potosi:
