Hi,
I have a question, I don't have a SSB rig so I am FM only, wish I could
decode telemetry and CW that would be a blast! but as I understand I can't
with just FM, or am I wrong? thats OK its a good reson to talk the XYL into
letting me buy another radio. Hi Hi.
So here is how I am set up.
1.I have my IC28H interfaced to recieve, working on the transmit. with my
diemound 510 vert at 50 ft. The rig i tuned to 145.950 MHZ.
2. I use AMsat Predict to track, I am going to go to a program I can track
more than one bird at a time with. The nice thing about HRD is the count
down to the pass with computer voice, Last I checked HRD was not able to
track ARISSsat1.
3. The tracking program runs in the back ground, I am running MMSSTV for
SSTV from ARRISsat1 and its running in the back ground as well
4. I use a program called scanner recorder to record the Audio of the pass.
you can do this with MMSSTV to but you have to do it manuailly. With scanner
recorder once you set it up to record it will do it on its own.
So here is my question, I do get the voice telemetry in the message giving
the stats on the bird. If I send this in does it count for a voice contact?
or just the secret word? On the secret word contest can you enter each time
you hear it, or one of them even if its the same word you already logged
or only if there diffrent from what you have already logged? hope that makes
sence.
Also I am confused, Eric, said "
Since I was listening with a FCD I saw activity on the transponder also.
heard EA1JM calling cq." On ARRISSsat1? Live? i did not think we were able
to contact each other vie ARISSsat1? I guess that part really confussed me,
Eric can you be a little clearer for at the vary least me, if you would
please? Thank you.
thanks for taking the time to read my post,

Hello,
I was listening to a 21:05 utc pass over Europe and got a nice sstv
picture and voice telemetry in full power mode. Since I was listening with
a FCD I saw activity on the transponder also.
I heard EA1JM calling cq.
As soon as it went in eclipse I heard nothing anymore untill LOS.
73,
Eric.
