PHASE 3-D ANTENNA MANUFACTURING HELP NEEDED

HR AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 331.01 FROM AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD JANUARY 7, 1996
TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS BT
BID: $ANS-007.01

      The Phase 3-D International Satellite Project Team has an
urgent requirement for someone with the talent, time and tools to
manufacture a spun aluminum pan (sized 22.0 inches in diameter and
3.0 inches deep) from 0.050 inch thick sheet aluminum.  This will
be a straight-sided device with no rim on the open end.

        This dish will be used to accommodate a design improvement
for the flight model 1.2 GHz antenna for Phase 3-D.  The new antenna
design has a 46% larger area and 1.70dB more gain for L Band.
This is also the maximum size dish that we can fit onto the top of
the spacecraft for L Band.

       Anyone who can provide this material should quickly contact
Keith Baker at "kb1sf@amsat.org" or Dick Jansson at "wd4fab@amsat.org"
via E-mail.  You can also fax your proposal(s) directly to Dick
Jansson at 407-644-9782.

ANS thanks Keith Baker, KB1SF, Executive Vice President
AMSAT-North America for this bulletin.
