[amsat-bb] Looking for sats with beacons on 2 metres for antenna test this weekend
Hi Folks, Has anyone got any ideas which sats would be good to listen for this week end on two metres; we will be doing some antennas tests. The list I've compiled so far is surprisingly small, eg ISS, Delfi C3. I dont think UO-11 is audible at present (in eclipse), and I think all of the following are not now available for one reason or another.: FASTTRAC 1 and 2, VO-52, NO-44 I'd be very grateful for any suggestions of other sats we could listen for on 2 metres. 73s Jim G3WGM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] TurkSat and CubeBug heard
Hi All, Just received The TurkSat CW beacon and some TX that looks like 9k6 from CubeBug-1.My TNC was set to 1200bd, and I did not have recording on the second RX. I did record TurkSat and will be posting the MP3 soon. CW Message as decoded by Wouter Jan PE4WJ: TURKSAT 3U SAT HAA YM2RTU 0 0 (the last zeroes are ??) Wouter PA3WEG ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

The Recordings can be found at: http://pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/recordings/TurkSat-26-04-2013_0904UTC_1_PA3WEG.mp3 and http://pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/recordings/TurkSat-26-04-2013_0904UTC_2_PA3WEG.mp3 The first half of the pass we were adjusting to the two tone CW. Then we tried if the transponder was on, which was not the case. I cut out this part of the pass.The second half is afterwards. In the mean time I was trying to RX CubeBug-1, but had the TNC on 1200bd. I did hear some noise increase resembling 9k6 G3RUH FSK. 73, Wouter PA3WEG On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 11:17 AM, Wouter Weggelaar wrote: > Hi All, > > Just received The TurkSat CW beacon and some TX that looks like 9k6 from > CubeBug-1.My TNC was set to 1200bd, and I did not have recording on the > second RX. > > I did record TurkSat and will be posting the MP3 soon. > > CW Message as decoded by Wouter Jan PE4WJ: > TURKSAT 3U SAT HAA YM2RTU 0 0 (the last zeroes are ??) > > Wouter PA3WEG > ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] new sat beacon around 435.800 ?
Hi my friends ! I was preparing to listen the next pass, orbit nr 16160, of Hope-1 HO-68, the beacon of which is on 435.790 MHz when by chance, I came across another CW beacon about 10 kHz higher transmitting numbers at about 25 wpm. The max Doppler shift was at about 0919 UTC from my location in the North of France and the "time if flight" perhaps 15 mn, something like that. I just had time to record the weak (with my poor devices) signal, sound and spectrogram. With the Doppler shift, at 0926 UTC the frequency of this bird beacon crossed the one of Hope-1 producing an beautiful auditive interference and, on the spectrogram, a nice picture. Any ideas ? As many birds was launched these last days, maybe one of them ? Best 73 ! J-P/F5YG -- Powered by Linux (Slackware 10.0 - kernel 2.4.26) ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

CubeBug-1 Heard on the 12:20UTC pass again. Hi All, CubeBug-1 has been heard here again on the 12:20 UTC pass. Its modulation is AFSK 1200bd but seems to be lacking deviation.A recording can be found on http://pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/recordings/CubeBug-1t-26-04-2013_1220UTC_PA3WEG.mp3 The beacon should be on every 30s or 10s. The observed period was 30s. Possibly, a low deviation FM RX can retrieve the signal.

Many thanks Scott/N1AIA and Mika/OH8MBN, Yes, it was FO-29... I wrote 435.910 for the beacon of FO-29 and this wrong frequency was leading me to mistake.

[amsat-bb] SATPC32 and New Sat KEPS
Like many, I'm eager to track the new satellites launched over the past few days. If everyone will pardon more newbie questions, here goes: 1.) How do I input the published KEPS data for the new satellites into SATPC32? 2.) How long before the standard files (amateur.txt, etc) will be updated to include the new birds? -- 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 EM63nf 6M VUCC #1712 AMSAT #38965 Grid Bandits #222 Southeastern VHF Society Central States VHF Society Life Member Six Club #2484 Active on 6 Meters thru 1296, 10GHz & Light ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Yes, continuously on 910 MHz.

Update based on 18:50 pass A keyed carrier goes through the transponder. With both RX and TX Doppler shifting, Carrier Downlink shifts upward in frequency at a rate faster than Doppler shift.

[amsat-bb] Re: new keps
What software are you using? I had issues with Orbitron for a while since I realized that whenever I updated the keps nothing would actually happen. Later on I found out that to update the keps you must run Orbitron as the administrator to update it. Maybe this is relevant to you, maybe not.

[amsat-bb] Re: new keps
Bob, Welcome to the world of the TLE's that don't work. Each proggie seems to have it's own flavour. Not all work together. Try to manually edit the tle's in their appropriate folder. Then on to modify the .sqf file that I've never had any success doing. If you're trying to use the turksat TLE, it's hosed. Nothing doing. For one of the above mentioned reasons, it does not work with orbitron. Probably not with Satpc32 either.. I'll be chasing doppler on Pegasus manually tonight.. Keep asking the questions!! I'll try to help.

[amsat-bb] 910 MHZ AMTV Reception
Just realized that my Icom R-7000 with the NTSC TV Adapter should be able to receive these signals. I've got a nice loop Yagi for 900 MHz as well sitting in the attic. Just sold the receiver on Ebay, but not shipping it until Monday morning--so may have to try to receive a pass over the weekend. Sounds like fun! I sold the R-7000 thinking that I'd simply replace it with a FunCube Dongle Pro at some point. Never dreamed that I'd have a nearly immediate use for my old standby. Ah, well. -- 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 EM63nf 6M VUCC #1712 AMSAT #38965 Grid Bandits #222 Southeastern VHF Society Central States VHF Society Life Member Six Club #2484 Active on 6 Meters thru 1296, 10GHz & Light ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
