[amsat-bb] AubieSat-1 CW
At last I could receive and decode AibieSat-1 CW. The signal is very weak, but it's exceedingly a clear sound. 9:10-9:22 UTC, 2 May 2012, Ele 51 S-W-WN, 437.472 MHz CW http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/20502aub.png http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/20502aub.wav JE9PEL/1, Mineo Wakita ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: New Frequencies for AMSAT-UK FUNcube-1
Hi Iain, Great question - the answer is probably yes! It is expected that the UKube-1 team will apply to IARU for a change in the FUNcube-2 transponder downlink to 145.930-145.950 MHz with the Telemetry on 145.925MHz but an official proposal has not yet been sent/received. Good luck with your SDR 73 Graham G3VZV -Original Message- From: g7...@g7iii.net Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 10:49 AM To: Trevor .

I bet they are still working on the packaging for the duplexer so that the backpack you'll take with you to carry VHF and UHF cans will have space for food and water you'll need about every 100 yards while you're walking with your portable radio.

[amsat-bb] Re: Delphi-C3 (DO-64) 4 years in orbit.
Raydel, Delphi-C3 with its fold out solar panels is a great satellite and probably one of the most interesting cube sats ever launched. I made many QSOs through it before its amateur transponder quit. 145.870 USB will work. Its signal is very strong, you cant miss it. It has no batteries so operates only in sun light. It will shut off at times as it starts its North American pass (even in sunlight). You will hear it at AOS for a short time then it suddenly shuts off. At other times, it's on the entire pass. When receiving, try to get the tuning indicator to stay at 1200 Hz. The no sync indicator will change to sync and turn green. It's interesting to watch the sats performance and the data come in. Having up to date Keps and your computer clock synchronized helps a lot. GL, Mike (K9QHO) ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
