Dear Folks,

SRMSAT a Nano Satellite from SRM University and Jugnu from IIT kanpur,
India have been successfully placed in orbit at 11:32 Am IST. I would
request the Hams all over the world to track the satellites and send in the
beacon data to the following address.

kc2...@arrl.net   and
sanjaynekka...@gmail.com

SRMSAT beacon is at  437.425 MHz

[amsat-bb] PSLV C-18 Launch successful

2011-10-12 Thread Mani VU2WMY

Hello All,
The PSLV C-18 Mission is a Grand success. All the four satellites were  
successfully injected into their precise orbits.
The Jugna was injected at 05:56 UT and the beacon will turn ON at  
06:31 UT. It is expected that the Jugnu at that time should be  
somewhere over N.W of South America. Any early signal report 0n  
437.275 CW from around this part of the World would be greatly  
appreciated.

Dear friends,
As you all might be aware that two cubesats 'Jugnu' and 'SRMSat' using  
amateur frequencies are to be launched by PSLV C-18 from Satish Dhawan  
Space Centre [SDSC], Shriharikota, India. The expected launch time is  
05:30 UT.

In this regard, I'm herewith forwarding the mail from Mr. Shantanu  
Agarwal, Team Lead for the 'Jugnu', requesting the Global Amateur  
Radio fraternity to provide the CW Beacon signal Report along with the  
plain decoded morse message, if possible.

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated, as this would be  
very helpful to evaluate various ob-board system performance.

'Jugnu' beacon is at 437.275 MHz, OOK.

The reports can be sent to the following mail ID.s
w...@isac.gov.in
shan...@iitk.ac.in

[amsat-bb] CW telemetry from 'Jugnu'

2011-10-12 Thread Mani VU2WMY

Dear friends,
On behalf of the 'Jugnu Team' from the Indian Institute of  
Technology-Kanpur, India,  I thank all the Amateur radio Stations that  
responded to our request in sending the beacon signal reports.


Our sincere thanks to OM.Shamai 4Z1WS from Israel. His report from  
Israel was the 'First' indication for us about the beacon 'ON'  
status.The decoded CW text message by Shamai 4Z1WS indicated the  
nominal performance of the spacecraft.


   Subsequently, the beacon was heard by me, Nittin VU3TYG and Guru  
VU2GUR all from Bangalore. Our sincere thanks to OM.Christian F1AFZ  
from France.


We look forward for more 'Critical' signal reports across the Globe in  
the coming days.

 Dinesh,
 
 Congratulations to you and your team on a successful launch and activation!
 
 I am hearing SRMVU pretty well over North Carolina grid FM05pj at
 13:53utc 12 Oct 2011.
 
 After the pass, I will send you an email with a link to the WAVE
 recording so you may decode telemetry if you wish.

 Thought I was recording but it didn't start. Sorry.

[amsat-bb] Can you work DK1TB on a satellite ?

2011-10-12 Thread Thomas Doyle
A friend who knows a little about ham radio asked me me about satellites. He
asked a couple simple questions.- Can you work Alaska on the satellite ?
When I answered probably. He said great - lets try it. I explained a little
about orbits and then he said. Ok - so if you know you can work Alaska how
do you know when you should try. Alaska is not all that far from my QTH here
in Packer Country so for my example I have changed the question to Can you
work DK1TB on a satellite and if so which satellite and when is it possible
?.

We all know many ways to answer this simple question. Here is the easiest
way I know. If you have an easier way please let me know.

[amsat-bb] Re: Can you work DK1TB on a satellite ?

2011-10-12 Thread Clayton Coleman W5PFG
Hello Tom,

I personally use the Nova software for this task.  There is a menu
option to generate pass predictions for multiple observers using a
mutual satellite.  If I want to work Hawaii on AO-7, I can run a
prediction to show me any mutual passes between my Texas QTH and the
islands.  Nova has a lot of flexibility for generating different pass
predictions for multiple satellites, multiple observers, and even
checking visibility and eclipses.

In the scenario from your friend's inquiry, Nova would quickly tell me
the exact mutual window of opportunity to work a satellite pass with
the stations desired.  As you stated in your email, there are many
ways to obtain this kind of information but I find Nova is the easiest
(for me) out of my repertoire of software and website tools.

73,
Clayton

2011-10-12 Thread Andrew Glasbrenner

WinListen, as part of SatPC32, will do the same. Choose the Window for two 
observers option. It's a great feature for any program, and one I've used often 
to find good windows to EU and mid-South America.

Thanks for the answer to my question.

SatPC32 with WinListen is exactly what I was looking for. The more I use
SatPC32 the more I appreciate the effort that went into it and how well it
works.

2011-10-12 Thread Alan P. Biddle
A final reminder that the deadline for entering the ARISSat-1 Chicken Little

2011.  You can find the details at:

http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/ARISSat/ARISSatContest

We are still short of submissions from students, particularly in the grades
9-12 range.  If you know of someone, whether they are hams or not, who might
be interested, please nudge them in the direction of the contest page.
There is no fortune, but at least 5 minutes of limited fame awaits the

[amsat-bb] Qsl Cards

2011-10-12 Thread Kevin Deane

Does the person who sent me a big green SASE remember, because there were two 
stacks that went out from Cali and it was in one of them, so I was wondering if 
the person did receive it back or not. Reason being there might be more than 
one person who did not get any cards from Elko or Cali. Not worried about 
postage or cards just that it bothers me that people did not get what I had 
sent.
 
So please let me know if you did not receive cards from any occasion and I will 
be glad to resnd given the info.

They match closely to the other ones posted--but about 1-2 mins off.
