[amsat-bb] Masat-1 Telemetry Data
I have been successful in copying both the CW and GFSK telemetry data and a log was generated but there is no indication as to whether it has been uploaded. Checking the website and each registered ham, I noted that they all say 0 packets received so I must assumed that they are not automatically uploaded. Do we have to manually send the log files somewhere? If so, where? BTW, I am using 38079 (2012-006C) for Masat-1. I have not attempted to receive any of the others yet. 73, -- *Carl W8KRF* ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] K7UGA report - Wednesday morning
Hi! I've planned my lunch today to coincide with the upcoming SO-50 pass at 1832-1845 UTC (a 27-degree pass, from my south to the northeast). That will be the only pass I can work as K7UGA during the daytime today. This evening, I am planning to make up for not being on last night and try two passes from home as K7UGA: VO-52 at 0252-0305 UTC (an overhead pass) SO-50 at 0310-0320 UTC (11-degree pass, from north to southeast) Tomorrow (Thursday, 16 February) morning will have some passes in the morning through midday that I should be able to work from home as K7UGA: VO-52 at 1444-1455 UTC (21-degree pass to my east) VO-52 at 1620-1632 UTC (26-degree pass to my west) SO-50 at 1900-1914 UTC (78-degree pass, from southwest to north) AO-27 at 1921-1928 UTC (13-degree pass to my east) Look for K7UGA around 145.910 MHz USB on the VO-52 downlink, but be ready to tune around if I am not there. If nobody is working me there, I will tune around and attempt to work anyone I hear on the transponder. After these passes, I plan to be on the road to the Yuma Hamfest, and may stop to work passes on FO-29 and possibly AO-7 in mode B late in the afternoon if I can safely get off the freeway. Then everything will focus on the Yuma Hamfest starting Friday at midday, although I may be able to work some mid- to late-morning passes before the hamfest officially opens. 73!

[amsat-bb] MASAT-1
Had a blast collecting telemetry for MaSat-1 just now. I used object C, which was not correct for doppler. Judging by the point at which the signal ended on my clear horizon, I think it might be F or G. For those who are new to the software, I'd note that the strongest signal on the waterfall is the one that should be aligned approximately with the 575 Hz mark. It is quite tolerant of your being off by a 100 Hz or so, I'd say. I also think that the CW signal should be on the 1200 Hz mark (i.e., don't tune the CW to a typical CW tone, which is around 600 Hz). Does anyone know how close to the upper and lower marks I can set my filter on the TS-2000? 73, Bruce -- http://ve9qrp.blogspot.com ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Yaesu G-5400 light
Vince's LED fix is the right one! However, several years ago, I was fixing mine, and noticed the bulbs have series resistors which are not shown in the schematic. I had spare bulbs from Yaesu, and replaced the resistors at the same time with the next higher standard value. (33 ohms to 39 ohms, or something close.) The loss in output was negligible, and they have yet to burn out. When they do, I have LEDs set aside. 73s, Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Bob- W7LRD Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 12:26 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Yaesu G-5400 light Has anyone come up with a bulb, led, candle anything that will stop burning out in the control unit? 73 Bob W7LRD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] MaSat Telemetry Software
All, I got some answers from the team in Hungary and apparently the software is _in_deed_ automatically sending the packets to the server over there ! The 'offline' sign in the lower left corner has nothing to do with it: Hi Andreas, Thanks for the packets! New TLE from Celestrak: 2012-006C 1 38079U 12006C 12045.91493796 .3662 0-0 1-3 0 77 2 38079 69.4856 235.4820 0781498 42.5136 323.3856 14.05527418 208 The automatic packet report works in background. I checked the logs, and you sent us 561 packet online until now. Regards, Tibor Mezei Well there you go. Sent them 560 packets and didn't even know it :) And in another email: Dear Andy, Please try to use the telemetry softwares automatic packet sending. It works for a lot of people. Actually the sign Offline in the lower left corner of the telemetry window was shown for a future improvement and shows something else. It is misleading, so we will remove it in the next release. Please answer to the h...@cubesat.bme.hu address where my colleague, HA3PL Levi, who is more competent in these topics, will answer to your further reports. Sincerely, Zsolt Várhegyi Masat-1 Developer Team Still doesn't explain why the 'Server side logging' checkbox is unchecked _and_ grayed out.

Hope to make contact with you These classes are put on by the Anchorage Amateur Radio Club. De KL7XJ AMSAT Area Coordinator Alaska Hello Everyone As you can see from the message traffic below, we have been invited to deliver a special satellite technology briefing and demonstration to a group of Anchorage Police who have signed up for Amateur Radio training. The plan, as shown in red below is to attempt to make contacts on at least two passes on SO-50 during the class period on the evening of the 16th and to conduct classroom training between the appearances of the bird. We also plan to check into the Anchorage area ARES Net on both 2M voice and packet at 8 PM AST in the midst of all the other activities! If SO-50 is locally visible to you during the appropriate time frame, we would like to ask you to please come up on this FM LEO and provide our new hams with some contacts so that they'll gain some knowledge and appreciation of what AMSAT and our ham radio satellites are all about. Thank you so very much. Hope to hear you on the satellites really soon! Best of 73s, Craig, KL4E ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 Keplerian Elements Analysis - Eclipses and Elevation
All, I did some work tonight calculating Eclipses and looking at differences in elevation. If you are interested in peer reviewing my calculations, please let me know and I will send you some files. http://libjoe.blogspot.com/2012/02/arissat-1-analysis-eclipses-and.html Enjoy!

[amsat-bb] TransAtlantic Balloon on 28 MHz ?
Do you have a 10 meter (28 MHz) vertically polarized beam? We are working on a 28 MHz transatlantic Balloon with a CW transmitter on 10m using (of course) a vertical dipole. It will have no GPS, so tracking will be entirely by beam headings and some signal-strength assessment. Just wondering if anyone has a vertical beam. A horizontal beam will be useless for direction finding. All it will do is point to whatever is reflecting the energy into the strongest horizontal component... Hummh...
