[amsat-bb] Tuning frequency for CP6 CW?
I've grabbed a few frames from CP6, but I'm wondering if anybody has figured out at what frequency the CW "header" should be tuned to in order to best print the packets that follow? Also--anybody figure out which object letter (or Norad number) CP is? The CP website states 35002 but posts KEPS for 35004 :) And Congrats to both the CP6 and PharmSat teams! 73, Mark L.

[amsat-bb] Hawksat?
Hi all, I have been able to receive CP6 and Pharmasat beacons over the last days without any problems, but have not yet heard Hawksat. Has anyone succeeded in hearing it / is there any info regarding its status? 73 Wouter Jan Ubbels PE4WJ ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Re: tuning CP-6
Mark, If you can get the CW at 1200 Hz, the following telemetry burst will be right on frequency, and decode every time. Using MixW is a great way to do this. You just need to be very quick with the mouse. ;) DK3WN and I have both found that 2009-028D, NORAD 35004, currently gives much better agreement, especially on Doppler correction, than the others, including 35002 which CalPoly had on their site. Based on the passes yesterday afternoon, my current DOPPLER.SQF file has this: 2009-028D,437364.3,0,LSB,,NOR,0,0 Mike finds a slightly lower RF frequency, but that may just be calibration. Except for one burst at an over the top TCA, the CW was within 200-300 HZ of predicted the whole pass, and the telemetry program has able to handle the slight deviation. 73s, Alan WA4SCA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Tuning frequency for CP6 CW?
Hi Mark, I use OBJECT D with success but -4 kHz offset. So I use fc= 437.361 MHz USB. If you tune manually try to set the CW frequency to 2200 Hz. 73, Mike DK3WN -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] Im Auftrag von Mark L.

[amsat-bb] Re: tuning CP-6
Alan, aaahh - you use LSB ;-) I take the other sideband -> therefore up to 22000 Hz ... Just had a 2 degr pass here and tracked to OBJ D and a fixed offset of 4 KHz. Could hear exactly 3 beacons without manually tuning (mhh, it's no big deal with such a low pass...) Beacon interval is now 2 minutes again. 73, Mike -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] Im Auftrag von Alan P. Biddle Gesendet: Sonntag, 24.

[amsat-bb] Re: Hawksat?
My understanding is that Hawksat is only commanded on when over their ground station on the Maryland Eastern Shore. I'm also curious who the licensed trustee is since the person they listed as the contact on their IARU coordination request is no longer with them.

[amsat-bb] Re: tuning CP-6
Got a good pass at 2032 UTC today, with several data bursts decoded. I did notice once when the CW ident and data burst repeated within a few seconds, and another time when there were two CW idents, but no data. The intervals were back to 1 minute. Perhaps they were commanding the satellite? Alan WA4SCA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Re: tuning CP-6
Hey Alan-- Nope, we weren't commanding the satellite. We have noticed some timing problems; it is supposed to beacon every 1 minute, but it seems like the timer gets reset once every 20 minutes or so. Not sure why it resets. When the CW beacon transmits but there is no AX.25 follow-up, there was a problem with the I2C bus on board; the Comm PICs couldn't get data from the main processor on board, so they just CW beacon and stop (time out waiting). You should see the I2C error counter increment by several counts the next beacon (if you are running the CPX Decoder software. -- Bryan Klofas, KF6ZEO Alan P.

[amsat-bb] ND9M Mobile Grid Square Trip
Hi, I'm taking the long way back to the home QTH (EM70) from central Tennessee (EM65) where I attended a geocaching "festival" this weekend. I'll be operating from a bunch of grid squares?on AO-51,?SO-50, and AO-27?while geocaching along the way. I'll hit any pass that reaches 15 degrees or better at my QTH. I'm using a 5-watt HT and Arrow-2 on this trip, so I won't have any particular mucle. Unless (until?) I get the phone call from the Boss telling me that the grass needs to be cut, I'm hoping to be on from the following grid squares, starting tomorrow morning (5/25): EM66, EM56, EM46, EM45, EM55, EM54, EM44, EM43, EM53, EM52, EM42, EM41, EM51, EM40, EM50, EM60 Road and weather conditions permitting, this is the intended sequence over the next four days. Nothing is chiseled in concrete, but hopefully Murphy's Law will take a few days off. (Yeah, right...) CU on the birds, 73, Jim, ND9M ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

With this message in mind, I'll hold off on sending QSLs for a few days. Then I can make sure to send one request for QSOs we made on your trip. I'm sure you'll make a bunch of satellite grid hunters happy with your trip. :-) Good luck and 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/ ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
