[amsat-bb] AC0RA/p AO7 1005z looking for Europe

[Wyatt Dirks]

Today on the 1005z pass of AO7 I will be setting up my portable ssb satellite 
station to attempt to work into Europe. I will be working portable from EN41cx 
in Iowa. On this pass of ao7 the footprint reaches as far as Austria, Poland, 
and Spain. I will be calling at 145.952+/- and if nothing is heard there I will 
tune around.

Hope to work someone across the pond.

[Joe Batty]

Joanne,
 
My mistake, I was trying to work AO-27 which on the other side of the country 
and I guess I gave my grid as CN35 not CN 85. A newbe at work still trying to 
learn how this Sat stuff works. Lots to learn after years of HF.

There was a mention in a later Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin that Yuri was /MM at a
Black Sea DX Club event in December. So perhaps he has crossed the ocean at
least once since November 25 ... but don't have any more recent news.

On the AO27 pass today someone was saying they were in CN35.  If they were,
it must have been a /MM, so I thought it was him. This announcement looks
like he was going the other direction, though.

Greetings,
 
It is time for another decay date prediction update. 
 
As the satellite has gotten lower the atmospheric drag has 
increased significantly. This prediction update uses solar data 
through 2011 Dec. 14. The fit only includes orbital height

The decay date now indicated is 2011 Dec. 31 with

date ranging between 2011 Dec 28 to 2012 Jan 3.

[amsat-bb] Re: Coast-to-Coast Balloon Flight

[Francisco Costa, CT1EAT]

Hi Bob


But in reviewing all the emails, I can find no other reference to WHO
launched it and what it is.


I found some info on their blog
http://blog.californianearspaceproject.com/?p=20

73 F.Costa, CT1EAT
http://ct1eat.no.sapo.pt




Michael K6MFW says:
December 11, 2011 at 6:31 pm
They got a good launch on all four balloons from Precision AutoTune in San 
Jose (Hwy 85 and Almaden Expwy) late this afternoon. A little wind but not a 
showstopper. While coming home about 20 minutes after launching #4, it began 
to rain.


Don KD6IRE had the honors of launching one of the balloons, Johnathan AE6HO 
launched another, Ron launched the first of the two planned floaters and his 
dad Frank got to launch fourth balloon (which he predicted will be best of 
all and said it will reach New York).


I asked Ron Meadows why do four at the same time (it got somewhat hectic), 
he said it is easier to do all four since he scheduled the garage, organized 
people to help, setting up the floating arm, etc.


One of the balloons appeared to not send packets, viewing digipeaters on 
144.39 the altitude reported 109,000 feet. It then appeared to be good and 
balloon was launched, aprs data looked weird at first but later got a good 
track (we were worried for a bit and later relieved).


Two balloons are going for altitude records, the other two are floaters 
which will see how far across the country they go. Altitude balloons have a 
fast climb rate (and at 100K, horizontal speed was fast). Floaters have a 
slower ascent rate as planned. All of us will watching the balloons as sure 
many other balloon enthusiasts are as well (anyone pulling an all-nighter?). 
Ron should not have too many jobs planned tomorrow as he will be most 
interested in flights of these balloons.


Bernhard AE6YN and Ian KO6YQ (and maybe other Stratofox members) are 
following the altitude balloons in central California. One of them is using 
same payload as the altitude record setting balloon, it has member 
signatures all over it (which you can see in the NBC Bay Area television 
interview).


I took video of the launches and will post some clips on youtube tomorrow or 
the next day. Thanks to all members that helped. We also had a larger group 
of people that showed up to see the fill and launches.

[amsat-bb] Re: Coast-to-Coast Balloon Flight

[Steve Daniels]

Hi Bob
The tracker was a bigredbee high power 2M unit, I used one on a balloon
flight and it's now in my car as G6UIM-9
http://www.bigredbee.com/blgps_2mhp.htm

Launch announcements here
http://www.arhab.org/ARHABlaunchannouncements.html

Most of the technical chat happened on the GPSL yahoo group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GPSL

you don't need to be running APRSIS32 but it makes using ANSRVR easier, if
you are interested in Balloons I suggest joining the BALLOON group on ANSRVR
that will give you automatic notification of Balloon launches the callsign
and the location of the launch, and also notify you of Balloon burst.
If you track a balloon using APRSIS32 you will also get the option of
displaying the Balloon communication range circle, so you can see if you are
in range.
http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/doc:ansrvr


I have suggested that the tracker software is modified to switch frequency
and path based on longitude.
144.390MHz in the states, 145.825MHz path ARISS over ocean, and then
144.800MHz over Europe
If lucky you then stand a chance of getting a report via ISS or PCSAT whilst
out of range of land based stations.

And APRSIS32 also includes the ability to track satellites

I just confirmed with IS0AML-11, 300+ miles ahead of the balloon, that 
he's monitoring 144.390 and is already receiving the balloon's packets 
via RF.  He's IGating, but not first so he's not showing up on the

With that coverage in place, the next 600 miles or so (4 hours @ 150mph) 
should have IGate coverage.

Just had an APRS QSO with CT1AKV in Portugal.  He's going to try switching
over to 144.390 to listen.

Hi all

I already forward the information to 2 lists
of Portuguese hams, so hopefully some will
catch the packets from the ballon.
Congratulations to the team for the outstanding
flight!

Assunto: [amsat-bb] K6RPT-11 APRS Balloon heard by CU2IE / Sao Miguel -
still at 109k - almost across the Atlantic


  All,

It looks like the balloon is almost all of the way across the Atlantic!
Current course will place it closer to Morocco or slightly south of
Portugal.

[amsat-bb] Re: Need APRS relay in Spain on 144.39 mhz

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

K6RPT-11 is currently being gated by EA7FQB to the rear and EA6WQ-10 to 
the fore.  They picked it up just as CT1END was going out of the range 
circle.


The battery voltage is climbing as is the altitude as the balloon 
apparently warms up.

We need someone in Spain to relay the balloon K6RPT-11 on 144.390mhz. We are
losing the link to the web. Anyone in the South of Spain or near that area
please contact hams in the area to relay the APRS traffic from our balloon.



Thanks,
