Most important thing: Prepare for some ball bearings to fall out.  If 
you are not prepared, some greasy ball bearings will roll around the 
kitchen floor.  Very dangerous and makes an awful mess.  Been there.

Now at anchor in FF46, offshore San Antonio, Chile, and in the log via AO-7.

[amsat-bb] Re: [Part-L] CUSat and Falcon 9 R/B (2nd Stage) Los Angeles Sunday Evening Pass

[Bryce Salmi]

Thanks to the Jan, PE0SAT , for pointing out
that AAUSAT3 has a CW beacon on 437.425MHZ and was directly north during
the pass of CUSat Sunday night. I went back in time on my satellite
tracking program (Linux) and sure enough the cubesat launched in February
pumping out 1W CW was there! As you can see in the lower left “radar”
display, AAUSAT3 and CUSat were close enough for my handheld antenna to
easily pick both up.



AAUSAT3 Radio Information

http://www.space.aau.dk/aausat3/index.php?n=Ham.HAMAndRadioInfo

Correct CW Decoding of Sunday’s Pass:

OZ3CUB B7.4 T34 (EOM)

 Which meant that the battery voltage was 7.4V and temperature was 34C.
Simple but fun!

[amsat-bb] Re: Need help dismantling KR-500

[i8cvs]

Hi Richard, G3RWL

If you have the original manual of the elevation rotator KR-500 there
is a clear mechanical drawing inside showing bearings ,ball retainers,
gears and all shaft in line so that it is very easy to understand how
proceed.

If you don't hown the above drawing I can send to you a scanned copy
of it.

You did already the most critical job to remove the eigth screws fastening
both alves of the rotator HIHI !

About the grease I have used the molibdene black grease for differential
gears on truks.

[amsat-bb] Skybox Imaging ready for SkySat launch

[M5AKA]

This article reports that SkySat-1 has started its journey to Dombarovsky near 
Yasny in the Russian Federation for a November 21 launch. SkySat-2 is currently 
slated for a launch from Baikonur in Kazakhstan on February 20.

http://www.spacenews.com/article/civil-space/37671commercial-earth-observation-skybox-imagings-hopes-high-as-launch-of-first

Both of these launches will also carry a number of Amateur Radio satellites, 
some with linear transponders. 


The Yasny launch should see the largest number of Amateur Radio satellites ever 
launched on a single rocket. I believe the total may be close to 20 (some of 
the satellites are themselves deploying other sats) so there should be plenty 
of signals to listen out for.
