[amsat-bb] Re: ARISSat-1 heard

2011-12-25 Thread Craig Gagner
Christmas Day here and ARISSat-1 loud and clear at 1645 utc in
Massachusetts. It was about a 38 degree elevation pass and I got two SSTV
pictures and did an audio recording. I don't notice much of a signal
difference. Like I said Loud and Clear here !!

Merry Christmas !!

Craig, W1MSG

I cannot send it direct through the Telemetry Software, does any one have a
currently working e-mail address where can I send the CSV files?, the
initially given address is not working, at least to me my e-mail server
reply "Unknown remote host". Also any tips, will be usefull too, should I
send it compress in ZIP or just the CSV?

Hello Raydel,

You can always send the telemetry directly to Douglas at:  dquagliana  AT   
aol.com

Zipping the file is best.

[amsat-bb] Re: Noise from notebook's PSU

2011-12-25 Thread Art McBride
Andy,
My first suggestion is to one by one disconnect any peripherals that are
connected to the notebook, begin with the battery charger/power-source, and
leave the antenna control wires for last. Watch the "S" meter and determine
the level of interference contribution of each device connected to the
notebook. Ferrites on interfering cables will help if you find that
disconnecting the cable reduces the noise. 

If you still have interference with everything disconnected, first shutdown
any programs that are not used for Satellite operation, then try moving the
notebook to different locations and orientations until the noise goes away.
Move any cables from the radio away from the notebook. If you still have
interference look at the antenna cable, use a quality cable like RG214,
RG142, RG 223 with a double shielded braid, or use 100% shielded cables like
LMR 195, LMR 400. Radio Shack cables are noted for having a single 40%
coverage braid.

Never assume that the noise has only one point of entry. In most cases it
comes from several places, being conducted by wiring and radiated by
circuitry inside the notebook. Newer notebooks have far less radiated
emissions from improved technology. If you are using an old notebook, try to
borrow a newer one and see it the problem goes away.

Good Luck,
Art,KC6UQH
