[amsat-bb] TIsat-1 HB9DE new packet collector online
Hello radio amateurs, we appreciate your work and your reports about TIsat-1 HB9DE CubeSat mission. We want to thank you and encourage to follow again our mission. We published a new web application that allow you to translate beacon's packets into relative temperature values and meanwhile to transmit these packet to us if you want. The application can be used either online or downloaded for an offline usage. The link to find it is http://www.spacelab.dti.supsi.ch/beaconcw.html If you want to upload directly the packets, please register to our forum, where you can also ask questions directily to us. If you want only to decode the packets you receive than the application can save formatted log files. Thank you, again! Regards, 73 SUPSI SpaceLab, HB9SRC ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] SO-50 DEMO REQUEST
Fellow hams, I have a sat demo scheduled here in Orlando for tomorrow morning targeting the 14:01 UTC (10:01 ET) pass of SO-50. I'd appreciate making a few contacts to show how much fun the satellite part of our hobby can be. I don't want to dominant the pass, but a few contacts would be great if anyone can help. 73s, Dave, AA4KN ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] AO7 A/B
Hello I think it's internal clock AO7 changed. Today I got the exact moment when the AO7 changes from A to B. This happened at 23:11:20 UTC, July 17, 2010 I had already noticed this a few days ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlSbjjrOJVw 73 PY5LF LUCIANO FABRICIO CURITIBA-PR-BRAZIL GG54JM http://www.qrz.com/db/py5lf http://www.qrz.com/db/py5lf http://www.falautomation.com.br/ www.falautomation.com.br ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] VA7EWK 3-10 July stats and wrap-up
Hi! I have started work on the QSL cards from my recent trip to Canada, and will also update my web page with photos and more information about my trip. It was a fun time, and by far the longest satellite- related trip I have taken. Along with the flights between Phoenix and Vancouver, I drove 3024km (1879 miles) in 8 days according to the receipt I received when I returned the car to Vancouver airport on 11 July. The driving in British Columbia was a few miles/km less than the distance I drove on my trip into Utah last year (that was a 1905-mile/3065km trip), but overall I traveled much further this July than either of my previous July road trips in 2008 or 2009 when the Phoenix-Vancouver flights are added in. During the time I worked the radios (3-10 July), I logged 391 QSOs from 9 different grids. Locations included one grid boundary (CN79/CO70, at Campbell River on Vancouver Island), the Canada/USA international border (standing near the Peace Arch south of Vancouver, on 8 July), a mountaintop (Whistler Mountain, on 10 July), and even from a ship (a ferry sailing between Vancouver Island and Metro Vancouver, on 7 July). I tried to work from CO50, but could not get to a place that allowed for a good view of the sky, even after making a 90km/55-mile detour out there on 5 July in the hope of finding some place that might work for satellites. On my first attempt to work many passes from CO80 on 9 July, I ended up working a few passes there followed by a long road trip through CO80, CO90, and CO99 before returning to my motel in Vancouver (driving 671km/417 miles that day!) and trying again the next day with more success. I was able to work SSB and FM, although I only worked one VO-52 pass on the first full day I was on Vancouver Island (4 July). I generally used the VO-52 pass times for travel to a destination, or looked to work HO-68 with its larger footprint when the pass times were close. FO-29 and (when in mode B) AO-7 were good for late-afternoon and early- evening passes. HO-68 in FM was a nice satellite to have available during the week, for the longer-distance QSOs compared to the other 3 FM satellites. Despite trying for passes on AO-7 and HO-68 that covered parts of Europe during the week, no QSOs were logged with that continent. By satellite, here are numbers of satellite QSOs VA7EWK logged in FM: AO-27: 97 AO-51: 112 HO-68: 73 SO-50: 47 (329 QSOs in FM - 84.1% of total) and in other modes: AO-7: 30 in SSB, 2 in CW FO-29: 23, all SSB VO-52: 7, all SSB (62 QSOs in modes other than FM - 15.9% of total) I had my normal satellite station with me, and I hoped to make use of the SSB satellites whenever I could. I worked many AO-7 and FO-29 passes, including some on AO-7 where I talked to myself and maybe some polar bears in the Arctic. :-) Having access to those two satellites in particular helped some who were not able to work VA7EWK on the FM passes due to either the small common windows on those passes or the congestion on the FM passes. Or, another way of looking at the SSB effort could be if Adrian AA5UK could work SSB from Hawaii, then I should be able to do the same from Canada. ;-) I worked WC7V and W6ZKH in CW on an AO-7 pass from CO60 for my only QSOs in that mode during this trip. Grids... I was able to operate from the 4 grids on Vancouver Island I intended to make the biggest effort - CN78, CN79, CO60, and CO70. I ended up working some passes from CN88 in and around Victoria on 7 July before returning to Vancouver, which included some operating from the western end of the Trans-Canada Highway (a place with a good view of the sky, even with the steady stream of tourists around there). On the Lower Mainland, I operated from CN89 during parts of 2 days, as well as 3 other grids - CN99, CO80, and CO90. The breakout by grid: CN78: 56 (from Ucluelet on the Pacific side of Vancouver Island, 5 July) CN79: 21 (from Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, 6 and 7 July - not including QSOs made at CN79/CO70 boundary) CN79/CO70: 85 (all made from Campbell River, 4 and 6 July) CN88: 25 (3 locations in/near Victoria, plus 2 QSOs made from a ferry sailing toward Vancouver - all on 7 July) CN89: 59 (24 @ Burnaby on 3 July, 19 @ Surrey on 8 July, 16 @ Canada/USA border on 8 July) CN99: 12 (3 passes on evening of 9 July) CO60: 60 (Port Hardy, on 5 July) CO80: 53 (3 locations in/around Whistler on 9 and 10 July, plus another location NE of Pemberton on 9 July) CO90: 20 (one AO-51 pass on 9 July) I was able to attempt operating SSB from all grids except for CN88, CO80, and CO90. CN89 was not a priority for me, although I ended up working a few passes shortly after my arrival in Vancouver on 3 July and some on 8 July as I drove down toward the Canada/USA border. I had not mentioned my plans to attempt QSOs on the
