[amsat-bb] BL02 Operation on Sunday 9/9 & Tuesday 9/11
Aloha, For those looking for a contact with Hawaii here is my schedule for this Sunday and Tuesday: Sunday 9/9/12 FO-29 2116-2123Z 11:16-11:23 HAST 14:16-14:23 PDT AO-27 2242-2248Z 12:42-12:48 HAST 15:42-15:48 PDT Tuesday 9/11/12 AO-07 Mode B 0123-0134z (9/12/12) 15:23-15:34 HAST (9/11/12) 18:23-18:34 PDT Sorry that Saturday didn't work out, but the Tuesday AO-07 pass was added to help reach most of the way across the mainland. Thanks to Frank, K4FEG, for the AO-07 info. Hope to meet on the birds. So far things have been working well. I had a contact with Frank, K4FEG, in Tennessee, Clayton, W5PFG, in Texas, and David, W0DHB, in Colorado, on a late night (Hawaii time) pass of FO-29. Signals from my end in Kauai were heard down to the horizon, even with an FT-817 running at 5 watts! 73's - Tom Tom Deeble - KA6SIP Mt.

WinDRM (and DRMDV/FDMDV) were written by Cesco Lanza HB9TLK some info at http://n1su.com/windrm/download.html To achieve a reasonable data rate it's usually run at 64QAM (with full SSB bandwidth). 64 QAM is less robust and requires a higher S/N. I've no idea what the practical effects of a high Doppler shift would be, although a computerized station with frequent Doppler correction should track it okay. Is the data rate on High Altitude Balloons about 300 bps ? I've never received any images from them but if 300 bps is correct then the images are either low res or take a long time to send ? Analog SSTV is still going strong some 6 years after the introduction of Digital SSTV perhaps indicating that existing Digital SSTV approaches do not yet match the performance/robustness/ease of use of analog for HF working. 73 Trevor M5AKA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Digital Slow Scan in space
Hi All, SSDV indeed shows you the images "as they come in" Most High Altitude Balloons use RTTY with relatively slow baudrates. The balloons are limited to using FSK modems in the ISM bands, because of legal issues. Therefore, RTTY is the most feasable mode. Tim Zaman here in the Netherlands has run 1200bd RTTY before on a balloon. see http://www.timzaman.com/?page_id=1106&lang=en He used the faster baudrate to send bigger pictures in the same time and was running two baudrates alternating. For satellites, you could run a more complex downlink off course, with less transmission time and FEC. 64QAM might work on bigger sats, but I think it is not feasible for a one or 2u satellite at the moment. I would place my bet on flying BPSK/QPSK for now, and more complex things later. Needless to say that I agree with David about the handshaking and ACKs, but the balloons don't do that either. I do not know anything on HF SSTV, but I have seen SSDV working just fine.

I didn't even get the transmitter to come on, let alone stay on. It was a low pass, and I hope to check again in the next few weeks. If you'll remember, the problem with keeping the satellite ON is temperature related. If it gets lots of sun (little eclipse), it will be warm enough to remain on. Otherwise, it won't...and the orbit is such that it doesn't get enough sun--and it probably won't for another 10 years or so.But I check periodically. About every week or two Drew KO4MA and I try to turn AO-51 back on. My latest try was last Saturday. Nothing heard. IO-26 is still up there, and still humming; it needs to be turned on from time to time, so I do that. But we haven't figured out how to run it in voice like we did with AO-16; it doesn't appear possible. Don't know about AO-10; I haven't listened for a while. And I don't know if it is expected to come on without commanding (which I cannot do). 73, Mark N8MH At 10:28 PM 9/6/2012 -0500, Gary \"Joe\" Mayfield wrote: >Has anyone checked on AO-10 or AO-16 lately? > > > >73, > >Joe kk0sd > >___ >Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Tom, For now, about the only thing is IO-26. It spits out telemetry from time to time, in bursts of "5' frames. It often burps as it goes into and out of eclipse, for one thing... There doesn't appear to be a timed schedule for transmission. And of course, you can use MixW to decode the packets with a sound card!

[amsat-bb] Re: NOVA Software
Hi James, Very simple. - Go to AMSAT.org -Look for Sat Status and find SO-50, you will find it's other name under Saudisat-C. You can do the same for other satellites. -Open Nova go to Setup tab on top left of screen. Open drop down list look for Satellites -Open the Satellites List look for Saudisat-C. Click on the satellite. -In the Satellite Editor screen rename it to SO-50 or SO50 as you desire. -Then press OK to save. -Open Satellite page again. Go to theGroups Tab, look for Amateur. -You will see a list of amateur satellites that are stored in your group list. You can add satellites by dragging them over from the main list to the Group list or you can highlight a satellite and then hit delete. -Update the list to your liking and then press OK. You should be good to go. If you have any other questions drop me a note offline aa5uk at yahoo.com. There is also a very good manual on Nova's website.

Now I am not trying to see AO40, but I would like to simply double check the location of my beam for eme. I saw (many years ago), pictures of video cameras mounted on the edge of an eme dish for just this purpose. I also remember (from some amsat meeting) a picture of someome's shack which had a TV monitor with the moon in the center of it. Only concern i'd have is that a TV camera is an electronic device, which generates EMI. Mounting such a thing so close to your antennas may cause some or possibly a huge amount of interference. I'd suggest making sure you can cut power to the camera remotely, and also can disconnect the cable that carries the TV signal down to the shack. Whether that cable is a coax or an ethernet or whatever, it can carry EMI from equipment in the shack up to the antenna. ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

PROITERES was built by a team of students and faculty members of Osaka Institute of Technology (OIT) and the spacecraft aims to demonstrate powered flight using a Pulsed Plasma Thruster (PPT) engine. Its amateur radio callsign is JL3YZK. PROITERES stands for PRoject of OIT Electric-Rocket-Engine Onboard Small Space Ship and will transmit on 437.485 MHz FM/AFSK. The spacecraft carries a camera and the two CPU’s run the Linux operating system. www.uk.amsat.org/10201 Mani, VU2WMY Secretary & Station-In-Charge Upagrah Amateur Radio Club VU2URC ISRO Satellite Centre HAL Airport Road, Bangalore-560 017.
