[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 descending rapidly
According to the morning numbers from Space Track, ARISSat-1 is down to 191 km, and losing about 1.5 km per orbit, or about 1 km per hour. The drag effects are increasing rapidly, so TODAY would be an excellent time to make any last minute QSOs through the transponder. Thanks to those who are keeping live telemetry flowing. This is one tough satellite! 73s, Alan WA4SCA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

1504 UTC pass on January 3 was quite loud - and long - here in western NC. (Supposed to have been only 36 degree pass, but I suspect that isn't correct :-) ) Philip N4HF On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 9:13 AM, Alan P.

Hi all, Just worked 2E0SQL ( Peter ) over here in the UK at 1520 hrs ,still strong but caught me on the 180 degree turn of my rotator. He was 5 / 8-9 and also monitored the FM transmissions on a separate radio with afixed antenna. Ken Eaton GW1FKY ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Arissat-1: Keeps on ticking (but is it taking a licking?)
A nice strong pass over NH around 1500z. Many telemetry frames decoded and forwarded. The little guy is still going strong! Oddly, the doppler predictions seemed to be pretty close today even at its highest point when the frequency changes most rapidly. Is there low solar activity or something? Anyway, I have notced pretty high temps in a few places, for example the IHU temp has been in the 60s. RF was in the 70s once, I think. The solar cells are high, but that's not surprising anyway with the sun shining on them. Hoping for another pass around 2115z. Burns, W2BFJ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Meteor Pings at Space Weather Radio
Hello Everyone, Here is one "Satellite Short" which would be too late if we waited for the weekend ANS news cycle: + The annual Quadrantid meteor shower will peak on January 4. Fore- casters expect the shower to peak around 07:20 UT (02:20 am EST) on Wednesday morning, January 4. At maximum, as many as 100 meteors per hour could emerge from a radiant near Polaris, the north star. You can listen to the meteor pings on-line. The meteor echoes from the Air Force Space Surveillance Radar in Texas detects a meteor or satellite as it passes over the facility.

All, Report that 1st part of 16:34Z pass covering Cincinnati was strong. A couple of minutes later noted some erratic behavior on trying to receive own transmitted CW, then return signal became weak. Did hear some good CW "dots" but no call letters followed. Try next pass at 18:08 Z I will be correcting for doppler to receive my signal on 145.930. Will listen for any stations CW or USB.

[amsat-bb] Arissat-1 reentry?
Hello everybody: This is David EA4SG. Just a moment ago at 16:54 UTC while the Arissat-1 was over the vertical of Madrid, I was listening to the SAT and it stopped/interrumped suddenly its transmissions while it was still in a theorical "sunny or iluminated area". Not sure if it was the final re-entry but It could be. So I decided to leave this info here. The last sent voice message sent was the italian one and at the end of the secret word, it stopped. A moment before, I was able to record around 40 seconds of CW telemetry in 145.919 Khz but very poor signal/noise rate. Best 73s David EA4SG ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Yep, It just takes a little dedication. I was operating VERY casually this year mostly only on Ao-27 and a little on SO-50. The result for 2011 is: 470 QSOs, 41 states, 175 grids. Keep trying, folks!
