Hi All, If you're tuning around, you'll probably hear AO-51 on 435.150 @ 9600 baud. Reloading continues; give us another day or two to get it loaded and configured. 73, Mark L.

[amsat-bb] Re: ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf V ready to ship
I agree with Mark: This is great news! Thank you to all of the members of the team. The hardware and software components developed for ARISSat-1 should be good building blocks for future LEO/MEO/HEO opportunities. Lessons learned from this deployment will directly apply to longer duration flights. I look forward to hearing the presentations at the AMSAT Symposium and reading more details in the AMSAT Journal. 73, Steve N9IP -- Steve Belter (s...@wintek.com) My Desk: 765-269-8521 -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb- boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Gould Smith Sent: Sunday, September 26, 2010 12:28 AM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf V ready to ship This was an important week for ARISSat program.

Need a little help with ISS Was under the impression that ISS had a beacon, but have not been able to locate the frequency.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS
Jack, The ISS does not have a dedicated amateur beacon. It operates in a variety of modes, with the most common being packet and voice with two meter downlinks on 145.825 and 145.800, respectively. See this link for more detailed info: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=19retURL=/satel lites/status.php and this one for relatively current status: http://www.issfanclub.com When it is active, it is loud, easily heard on an HT, though of course a real antenna is better. Due to various operational requirements, it is often QRT. As for SATPC32ISS, basically it just requires the same serial link as the regular program. Are you using an IC-910? In earlier versions you needed a jumper on the ACC socket, but as of version 12.8a that is no longer required.

[amsat-bb] K8YSE Lake Superior QSL cards
The Lake Superior Grid Expedition cards have been printed and are in transit. I hope to receive them in a few days. With that in mind, I should have some ready before the AMSAT Symposium. If you worked me on the trip and plan to attend the Symposium, please drop me an email off line. I will bring cards to Chicago and give them to you in person. There will be 11 different cards for the various locations. A picture of the Minnesota card is on my website, papays.com/sat and qrz.com. There were about 350 unique callsigns out of 2069 qso's. This is a good indicator that it's not just a handful of stations that are operating on the birds. There is a growing interest in satellites and many of the newer operators are working towards their Satellite VUCC! Operating portable away from your home grid is both challenging and rewarding. Once you try it, you'll always think about taking your gear with you when you have the opportunity to travel. There is always a need for uncommon grids. Many grids that were once active can become rare in a short time. Don't be afraid to show up from any grid. There will always be someone that needs it and they will appreciate the effort that you make to operate from there. 73, John K8YSE ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
