sorry we were faster :)

But when the satellite reached an elevation of 30 degrees, I was not able to 
enter the uplink channel. I heard some calls from Nikolay, and a couple of 
minutes later I heard HB9OAB calling and calling through the wlole pass, but 
I was not able to enter the repeater. I suspect that many station were 
trying to enter, but the only station heard was HB9OAB with a strong signal. 
Do you have any explanation?

I looks like lower sensitivity of the sat receiver or very big troposferic 
scatter of transmitted signals in 2m band (?)

[amsat-bb] Installing/running WISP in Vista 64 bit problem

2009-12-22 Thread Alan P. Biddle
Hi,

I got this question, and not having a 64 bit OS, don't have a solid answer.
PKWARE is still around, and does have according to their web site a 64 bit
version, though it may not be freeware.  Any help I can pass on about
whether there is a way to do this, and particularly whether WISP will run at
all on a 64 bit machine?

[amsat-bb] HO-68 (changing modes, commands)

2009-12-22 Thread PY2ZX
Hello,

On the weekend, during one of the XW-1/HO-68 passes schedulle for change
the "beacon/TLM only" to "beacon/TLM + FM repeater" mode, It was clear
the temporarily interruption of TLM data flow for their quickly return
from the beggining of the TLM frame with new status, exactly on the time
combined. So CE3RR was well heard in FM downlink.

My neophyte question is: The satellite was over Chile that time. Do we
need an earth ground station in South America, inside the footprint of
the satellite, to send the operational changing command to the bird for
HO-68 real time answer to the request or only the Chinese controler sent
the command, for satellite store the information and, at appropriated
time, far way from Asian footprint, HO-68 active the ordered?

2009-12-22 Thread ?. ?afet??p?????
Hi Matt and all

Thank you for your reply and correction of my 'arrogant' post.
I do not think that was a problem of tropospheric scatter, since HB9OAB was 
heard during the whole pass. May be, as OZ1MY has pointed out, there were 
100's of station trying to enter and the receiver could not demodulate any 
of them. At low elevation, when in the footprint were only Greece, Italy and 
Ucraine, QSOs were made easily and with strong signals.

We look forward for the next passes to understand the problem.

Marry Christmas to all and my best wishes for a happy and fruitful new year.

[amsat-bb] Another Bradford DUH! Moment

2009-12-22 Thread Clint Bradford
I am preachin' to the choir here with this post, I am sure. But since Southern 
California was under STORMWATCH again last night (we're expecting at least 
0.03" of precipitation), I decided to build one of those cheap "tape measure 2M 
Yagi" antennas from plans seen all over the Web.

I mean, I mention them during my satellite presentations as an affordable entry 
into high-gain ... I have a couple links on my Work-Sat Web site for plans ... 
I can see in theory where they should work - but I've never built one myself.

So I stuck the PVC pipes together ... soldered the matching element ... 
straightened it all out, and took it outside for a test.

OH MY GAWD. 

This is something that EVERY ham should do. What a dramatic increase in a 
handheld's performance a couple dollars' worth of stuff can accomplish! I heard 
a NOAA WX station (technically, out of range for this 2M Yagi) in San Diego 
that I have never heard from the house before. Every repeater of the six I 
immediately hit were received more clearly than with even the best of HT 
antennas ... and as good or better than my Cushcraft A148-3S (retailing for 
sixty bucks).

Sorry - have to stop writing. I am way too old to get this excited about this 
hobby ...

Subject: wisp32,  icom 821h,  kansas city tracker/tuner setup


Hello Roy...
It's been a long time since i needed help with Wisp setup.
I am trying to setup wisp to work with the icom 821h.
I am using the Kansas City tracker and tuner. The tracker part works ok..the 
tuner does not.
The radio is set at 1200baud and address is 4ch.
The kct/t is set for ttl output on port A.
In the station setup under rotators:
radio is ic821
port is A set for 1200,8,n,1
bands are set...rx 144 430...tx 144 430
I did not calibrate the rotors
clicked ok
exit station setup
using ao-51 9k6 at 435.150 for satellite
click on run this pass...screen comes up tnc blinks 3 times,it's good to 
go...antennas track ok.
frequencies do not change on the radio.
read the rr.ini file and radio is in sat mode before wisp is run.

Do you have to run "calibrate rotors" in the station setup/rotators box?
Do you have te edit the rr.ini file?

Any suggestions or help appreciated as always

The front cover of the latest AMSAT-DL Journal shows the internally

Hello,

The satellite AO-7, is not active, I could not listen to the Beacon or my 
return in mode A and mode B today at 19:55 UTC. Looking at the list of 
website logs and Oscar satellite status, the information is that the 
satellite was turned off after 13:00 UTC. Let's hope it's nothing serious 
and that soon the AO-7 is reinstated.

Please check that carefully. My experience after trying to contact them on 
three occasions is that they are NOT supporting it. I would look to SATPC32.

Hi Bob, N4HY

Can you indicate to us satellite users where is the plethora of launch
capacity in the world  to actually launch P3E up ?
Plethora means " overabundance"

I'm not going to go into detail, but your assumption is not 100% 
correct. I'll get the command station to look into why she's off the air.

[amsat-bb] AO-51 and AO-7 status

2009-12-22 Thread Andrew Glasbrenner
AO-51 is almost back to normal. The normal repeater is running at 400mw, 
and the telemetry downlink at 620mw. After everything is reloaded and 
double checked, we'll shift the majority of power over to the repeater 
and turn the L uplink for the PBBS back on. Thank you to those who sent 
reports and telemetry over the last few days; it was helpful. Please 
understand if we don't get a chance to answer and thank you all 
individually.

I also had a discussion with the primary AO-7 command station this 
evening, and he will begin to investigate what has happened to AO-7. 
There is a possibility that it simply glitched into another mode and is 
stuck there until it is commanded back, or until eclipses return. AO-7 
is still solidly in continuous illumination at present. Be prepared, 
there may be much less palatable scenarios as well. This satellite is 35 
years old, one of the oldest functional satellites anywhere, and to say 
we have had her on borrowed time is an understatement. Please post all 
observations of activity on the downlinks to amsat-bb; we really only 
need to know if you did hear it. Check 435.100 along with the 
transponder downlinks and beacons.

Thanks and 73,
Drew KO4MA

Hi Dew, KO4MA

I cannot understand if you are a command station that was able to send
succesful commands to AO-7 after she's resurrection or if you are only
a command station trying to actually look at what happens to AO-7

It is not necessary to go into details with me because I know the whole
story of commanding AO-7

I have infact a folder with all messages sent by Larry Kayser VA3LK  on
this BB about this matter of commanding AO-7 beginning from 4 july
2002 until 4 march 2004 just before Larry went SK in october 4, 2004
