[amsat-bb] Re: w32a won't transmit
Thanks David, Tim, Patrick and Ted, Moving main band to VHF did the trick, Now I will be able to activate FM25 in Hatteras, NC on the FM birds this week, maybe even SO-50 when I get tones working for me. 73 all, Gary AB3ID ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

W32A Owners, I have a new to me radio that I can receive on and I beleive is set-up correctly. Full crossband duplex is turned on, autorepeater is turned off, squelch is open and receive band is set as main. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Gary AB3ID ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] AO-51 S band off
The S band transmitter is now off, and 435.150 telemetry is back on. The L uplink is not yet back on for the PBBS. I had some temporary equipment problems here and instead of risking getting halfway through some steps and failing, I am stretching the mode change out over a few passes. 435.300 is back up to over 500 mw. The L uplink for the PBBS should be back on tomorrow, and the new schedule should be posted by tomorrow night. Sorry for the delay. 73, Drew KO4MA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-305 ANS is a free, weekly, news and information service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. ANS reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an active interest in designing, building, launching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio satellites.

November 1, 2009 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-305.01 Ares I-X Completes a Successful Flight Test NASA's Ares I-X test rocket lifted off Oct. 28, 2009, at 11:30 a.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a two-minute powered flight. The flight test lasted about six minutes from its launch from the newly modified Launch Complex 39B until splashdown of the rocket's booster stage nearly 150 miles downrange. The 327-foot-tall Ares I-X test vehicle produced 2.6 million pounds of thrust to accelerate the rocket to nearly 3 g's and Mach 4.76, just shy of hypersonic speed. It capped its easterly flight at a suborbital altitude of 150,000 feet after the separation of its first stage, a four-segment solid rocket booster. Parachutes deployed for recovery of the booster and the solid rocket motor, which were recovered at sea and will be towed back to Florida by the booster recovery ship, Freedom Star, for later inspection. The simulated upper stage and Orion crew module, and the launch abort system will not be recovered. The flight test is expected to provide NASA with an enormous amount of data that will be used to improve the design and safety of the next generation of American spaceflight vehicles, which could again take humans beyond low Earth orbit.

November 1, 2009 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-305.03 ARISS celebrates 500th school space contact ARISS Chairman Gaston Bertels, ON4WF noted that on Tuesday, 27 October 2009, ISS Commander Frank De Winne, ON1DWN answered questions from students participating to a venue at the brand new Copernic Science Center in Warsaw, Poland. This was the 500th School Contact since ARISS began operations in the year 2000. Schools in all continents benefit from ARISS educative School Contacts. This telebridge contact was operated by ARISS ground station VK4KHZ located in Glenden, Queensland, Australia. At the end of the contact, Frank thanked Shane Lynd VK4KHZ - for the many ARISS telebridge contacts he'd already performed. Shane shares these thanks with his colleagues of the 11 ARISS telebridge ground stations which cover all five continents. October 15, 2009 students in Gao, Mali talked with UNICEF good will ambassador Frank De Winne onboard the ISS and 23 October, students in Mbour, Senegal got answers to their questions, direct from space. During the same orbit, Frank De Winne also talked with students in Ieper, Belgium. Audio recordings of the Warsaw and Ieper school contacts are available at http://www.ariss-eu.org/archive.htm. ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating countries. ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking
[amsat-bb] AO-7 telemetry request: Pre-1981 and 2009
Greetings, I am looking to obtain good quality telemetry from AO-7's 435.1-MHz RTTY telemetry event during February and March 2009. I woud appreciate receiving good quality raw RTTY telemetry. I am especially interested in the time period before 2009 March 3 and after 2009 March 6. Telemetry collected between about 0 hours UTC and 12 hours UTC would be especially useful from any of the 2009 February/March time period. Good quality telemetry is defined as being collected continuosly for at least 4 minutes during a pass. If you have already "published" your telemetry to the AMSAT-BB or to DK3WN's web blog I already have your data so there is no need to resend. Please send any unpublished RTTY telemetry here to the AMSAT-BB. If anyone has any AO-7 RTTY telemetry from the "early days", before 1981 I would really love to get that data! If you only have it in paper form or on punched cards I would like to get it. I would be glad to put it in machine readable form and return the originals and the data to you. Thank you very much for your efforts and interest. Jim, N8OQ ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
