[amsat-bb] HO-68 Not Heard

[John Papay]

I did not hear HO-68 on 12Jan on the afternoon
North America passes.  This morning 13Jan it was not heard
at 1408 UTC either.  The beacon appears to be off as
well.  Let's hope this is not a serious problem.

Anyone else have the same experience?

73,
John K8YSE

Hello John and BB,

Same kind of experiences over here, I listened for beacon signal two 
european passes earlier today and nothing heard.

I heard HO-68 once during the past few days when just the beacon was on.  I 
figured something was odd when I didn't hear any packet traffic over the FM 
transponder.

[David Palmer]

Just a reminder to everyone, the OSCAR Satellite Status page by KD5QGR
is a great resource for determining up-to-the-minute statellite
status:

http://oscar.dcarr.org/

Often times, if you don't hear a satellite, you can check the page and
instantly see reports from one or two other hams who have observed the
same thing (or not!).

[GW1FKY]

Hi all,
I can report the same experience in respect of HO-68 beacon on two of the  
morning passes over here in the UK.
Sorry I did not report it initially until I had confirmed my equipment was  
OK on passes of VO-53, we had lots 
of rain over the past two days so needed to be sure that I was not making  
an incorrect report.

Friends,
Unbeknown to me, my computer was compromised with a Trojan.

I have now run a complete scan for viruses and Trojans. The computer is now 
clean.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused - even though it really isn't my 
fault. 

I have *Always* had a recommended antivirus program installed. I now have 
Spybot installed permantently as well. It *DID* show and delete the problem.

Again, my apologies for any inconvenience.

... for your information:

Dear Mike,
 
Thank you very much for your report! 

I received same fault reports from NA, EU and Asia. When we reset satellite
onboard computer it 
was solved, but the problem happened frequently recent days. We are now
studying and analyzing 
telemetry data, I will let you know when we get the results. 

Please let me know if you get any fault report about HO-68.

Hi all,
Thanks to  Alan & Mike for the acknowledgement and update  regarding HO-68 
problems.
Apologies to all for my spelling mistake by the way - I stated that I had  
checked out my equipment  using
"VO-53"  -   It should have course read as VO-52.

Saw a post a few days ago regarding AO-7 Mode change.
 
Today 13 Jan, 2011  the mode changed from A to B at 23:28z.
 
Seems like it is getting later as time progresses. Last time I noted a changes 
was back in late Novenber at about 23:23z and in mid December at 23:25z.

I would check TIME ZONES in Windows and then time zones in the program itself

[amsat-bb] VUCC & LoTW

[Ted]

FYI.from LoTW site:

"Jan 13, 2011: VUCC award support is now live -- Under the Awards tab you
will find a VUCC button.  The VUCC   is ARRL's
award recognizing VHF, UHF, and SHF work and counts Maidenhead grid
squares."


Is this a good thing or ???  do we need to set up anything different in an
HRD Logbook to make this work ??  questions,   questions..

[amsat-bb] Re: VUCC & LoTW

[Ted]

Boy, after playing with this on LOTW, we may need an 'owners manual'. I
created a 'VUCC Satellite' account and uploaded my entire HRD Logbook:

Prior to the upload, I added a 'propagation' field to the log and did a bulk
edit to add 'sat' to each FM contact in my log (you can choose another field
to search, but since I don't log anything on FM other than the sats that
works for me).

Uploaded the log to LOTW. Nothing shows under the 'VUCC Satellite' account.
(note: when I created just a pure VUCC account, several contacts showed up
as FM contacts)

So, Im guessing we need to find out which ADIF fields are necessary in a log
upload to make the LOTW happy...

THAT is above my pay grade, so I hope to see some good answers from the
group when I wake up tomorrow..

[k6yk]

 
Well, it's not that easy... 

You need to have (at least) all the "regular"  QSO info. 
Then you need to have the following in your ADIF: 

Examples: 

AO-27
SAT
70CM


I have some (not all that many!) satellite QSO's confirmed on LOTW
for the DXCC countries.  I've been sending in my logs for about 5 years.

Check out Arrow ops on both 2M and 440 - and see if there might be a short or 
problem with either of the gamma matching elements.

Are there any connectors or jumpers between the Arrow's leads and your 
equipment? If so, check their integrity.

It just sounds like it's going to be a simple fix, Zack!

[amsat-bb] Re: VUCC & LoTW

[Gary "Joe" Mayfield]

I found it not to be too bad.  Once configured the N3FJP software makes it
very easy (even if you operate from multiple grid squares).  Getting started
right is the key!  I have about 5 years of logs in as well.  I had 22 unique
matches for satellite operations.  It was nice to see the k6yk and w6gmt
confirmed from multiple grids.

Pretty much all you need to know about doing it right can be found here: 
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/LoTW%20Instructions/N5JB.pdf

It was also neat to notice I could create a VUCC total for any grid I had
operated from, or any callsign I have used (John you were they only one that
showed up under my old ks5z callsign).  I have started a project to place
all of my logs (25 years) in LOTW.  It will be interesting to see how many
AO-13 or RS-10 matches I get.  

The other thing I have noticed is my percentage of QSLs keeps going up.  At
the moment it is at 40%, but I suspect putting all of those old logs in will
push it way down.

I also notice HO-68 and ARISS are on the satellite list, but SO-67 still is
not!

Joe kk0sd
