[amsat-bb] Yuri's Night - THANK YOU
Just finished breaking down the a/v equipment, my wife is loading the dishwasher, and we are pleasantly coming down off a great high. Many friends celebrated this date with us in our back yard, along with our Icelandic horse and burro. (The burro's name is Edward R. Burro. If you are laughing, you are either a student of journalism, or more than 80 years of age ... (grin).) No, the ARISSat-1 was not heard on a great pass of the ISS at 9:56PM PDT. THANK YOU to the folks who called in via Skype! THAT was great for the party atmosphere! We got our live video feed shown to the planet, too! We showed the new First Orbit movie, along with other new and old videos. It's been a historic 48 hours. I hope we can get the scheduling together to perform whatever maintenance needs to be done to our ARISSat-1, and have it successfully deployed soon.

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 battery.
Hi Nitin / Vince. Although the non appearance of ARISSat-1 has been a little disappointing, in the overall scheme of things we are still looking at a major AMSAT achievement here. There is after all a satellite awaiting 'launch' on the ISS. We know it's a success because so many people have named it and want it to be identified as belonging to them. We even have some working telemetry decoding software 3 months ahead of launch. - Yipee. I'm really not sure what all the confusion over the last few days tells us. Prepared press releases full of mistakes, a complete lack of preperation following the long period of testing which left the battery delpleted. No plan B to charge it during the sleep period - One wonders if the switches were even returned to the correct positions when it was last turned off. Despite a turbulent last few days, the main event is yet to come and as long as the designers have anticipated it being deployed with a completely flat battery, then we can all sit back and wait for July more prepared from this rehearsal than we would have been.

... I am so excited right now that I can barely type because I'm dancing a jig. Uh, dude, you've caught it ... and it is quite contagious ... with few known cures: Satellite-itis. I've tred everything to cure myself of this. Modern meds - legal and, er, otherwise. Pina Coladas. Using VistaPrint to make AMSAT banners and informational post cards. Staying up for 48 hours preparing for a party and trying to work ARISSat-1 ... NOTHING has cured me of this malady. Every once in a while, my wife will hear me exclaim from the back yard, I just talked to Vancouver! I am sure she thinks I am nuts, and wonders why I just don't use the cell phone ... ... recording the passes ... What is your setup? A direct connection to your audio, or a smartphone voice recorder app, or ??? ? so I have an audio recording of my first AO-51 QSO. ...

Hi Omar, Here is a post from K8YSE from about a 3 weeks ago: ** Yuri, UT1FG/MM, is currently reviewing a draft of a proposed qsl procedure for his maritime mobile operation on satellites. As soon as he finalizes the procedure, it will be posted here on the -bb. Please hold off on sending for cards. Yuri is currently at anchor in FN58 awaiting dock space to unload their cargo. He will likely leave the ship shortly and return home for a well deserved vacation. He has certainly gone all out to work the birds in hundreds of wet grids. Thanks Yuri! 73, John K8YSE ** 73!

[amsat-bb] Doppler.SQF?
I had a computer problem and my Doppler.SQF file is trashed. Would anybody be willing to send me their Doppler.SQF file to get me going so I do not need to recreate the wheel?

[amsat-bb] Re: ARISSat Deactivation
Yes, I had 3 radios going with one listening on 437.550 MHz. Nothing heard on any frequency. Alex VK5ALX this is why we did not hear itthey had the 430mhz transmitter turned on... was anyone listening to the 70cm frequency? all the preparations on 2m and we were in the wrong place. ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

All I have to say here is Pollyanna is alive and well. The spin machine goes into action. See below. Tom Schuessler, N5HYP __-- Subject: [amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 battery. From: G0MRF@xxx Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 10:11:21 EDT Hi Nitin / Vince. Although the non appearance of ARISSat-1 has been a little disappointing, in the overall scheme of things we are still looking at a major AMSAT achievement here. There is after all a satellite awaiting 'launch' on the ISS. We know it's a success because so many people have named it and want it to be identified as belonging to them. We even have some working telemetry decoding software 3 months ahead of launch. - Yipee. I'm really not sure what all the confusion over the last few days tells us. Prepared press releases full of mistakes, a complete lack of preperation following the long period of testing which left the battery delpleted. No plan B to charge it during the sleep period - One wonders if the switches were even returned to the correct positions when it was last turned off. Despite a turbulent last few days, the main event is yet to come and as long as the designers have anticipated it being deployed with a completely flat battery, then we can all sit back and wait for July more prepared from this rehearsal than we would have been.
