[amsat-bb] PSLV C-18 Launch successful
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. 73 de Mani, VU2WMY Secretary Station-In-Charge Upagrah Amateur Radio Club VU2URC ISRO Satellite Centre HAL Airport Road, Bangalore-560 017.

[amsat-bb] CW telemetry from 'Jugnu'
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. 73 de Mani, VU2WMY Secretary Station-In-Charge Upagrah Amateur Radio Club VU2URC ISRO Satellite Centre HAL Airport Road, Bangalore-560 017.

[amsat-bb] Can you work DK1TB on a satellite ?
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. http://www.tomdoyle.org/canIworkDK1TB 73 W9KE tom ... ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Re: Can you work DK1TB on a satellite ?
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 W5PFG On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 10:06 AM, Thomas Doyle tomdoyle1...@gmail.com wrote: A friend who knows a little about ham radio asked me me about satellites.

[amsat-bb] Re: Can you work DK1TB on a satellite ?
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. 73, Drew KO4MA -Original Message- From: Thomas Doyle tomdoyle1...@gmail.com Sent: Oct 12, 2011 11:06 AM To: AMSAT-BB@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Can you work DK1TB on a satellite ?

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. 73 W9KE tom ... ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Qsl Cards
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. Kevin KF7MYK ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
