[amsat-bb] VO-52 Status
Any word on VO-52? Looks like it hasn't been heard from at all today. I last listened for VO-52 a couple of days ago. I had trouble getting into the transponder due to a very high noise floor, which I thought might have been local, though I could hear AO-7 which was passing by at the same time. Also, the beacon was found about 3 kHz higher than normal. I'll try to listen for the next pass at 2224Z, but I operate outside and a storm is on it's way. 73, Paul, N8HM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

Re: [amsat-bb] VO-52 Status
No luck here in EM21, Paul. VO-52 not heard at 22:26 UTC. 73 Clayton W5PFG On Jul 10, 2014 5:06 PM, "Paul Stoetzer" wrote: > Any word on VO-52?

[amsat-bb] ARRL Centennial QSO Party W1AW Portable Satellite Operations - Halfway Point
Good evening, This week marks the halfway point and a break in the W1AW portable calendar for the 2014 World Radiosport Team Championships coming up this weekend during the IARU HF World Championship. As this is the halfway point, I wanted to compile some statistics on satellite operations during this event. All of this data comes from the W1AW logs as uploaded to LoTW and reported on the Centennial QSO Party Leaderboard ( https://centennial-qp.arrl.org/index.php ). The QSO statistics reflect unique callsigns worked on any satellite, not total number of separate QSOs. If you work W1AW/x during a week on AO-7 Mode A, AO-7 Mode B, AO-73, FO-29, VO-52, and ISS Packet, you still only get credit for 1 QSO towards the Centennial QSO Party points challenge. Satellite participation has not been great. Of the 55 operations that have taken place so far, only 18 have reported making any satellite QSOs (WI and UT from this past week are not yet uploaded, but I do not believe they had any activity and have marked them at 0 for now). A total of 780 unique QSOs have been made. The leading operation at this point is W1AW/9 in Illinois the week of June 25th with 122 unique callsigns worked by AA9LC. There are still lots of opportunities to have the chance to use the W1AW callsign on the satellites coming up during the second half of the year. If your state still has a week assigned, be sure to contact your state's coordinator ( http://www.arrl.org/files/file/On%20the%20Air/W1AW_2014_sked.pdf ) and sign up to be the satellite operator. Lots of big states with plenty of satellite operators have not appeared on the satellites! I personally look forward to my opportunity to activate W1AW/3 from the District of Columbia in October. Wisconsin, New York, Utah, Minnesota, and Nebraska are the only states that have had both of their weeks pass at this point. We ease back into the W1AW operations with South Carolina next week. I hope this table comes out OK in most email readers: Call State Week Of Sat QSOs W1AW/9 IL 6/25 122 W1AW/7 AZ 3/12 101 W1AW/5 LA 6/4 75 W1AW/1 MA 4/9 61 W1AW/7 ID3/5 58 W1AW/5 MS 4/16 49 W1AW/4 VA 4/9 49 W1AW/0 CO 5/21 49 W1AW/2 NY 1/22 40 W1AW/2 NY 5/21 38 W1AW/3 MD 6/25 31 W1AW/0 MN6/11 29 W1AW/0 MN1/29 22 W1AW/8 MI 2/19 20 W1AW/KL7 AK 6/18 15 W1AW/0 MO5/28 8 W1AW/2 NJ 4/23 7 W1AW/KH6HI2/5 6 W1AW/KP4PR 4/9 0 W1AW/KH2GU 3/19 0 W1AW/KG4KG42/22 0 W1AW/9 WI 2/12 0 W1AW/8 OH 3/12 0 W1AW/8 WV 1/1 0 W1AW/7 MT 6/18 0 W1AW/7 WY 5/28 0 W1AW/7 NV 4/30 0 W1AW/7 OR 4/2 0 W1AW/7 WA 2/26 0 W1AW/7 UT 1/8 0 W1AW/6 CA 2/12 0 W1AW/5 AR 6/11 0 W1AW/5 NM3/19 0 W1AW/5 TX 1/29 0 W1AW/5 OK 1/22 0 W1AW/4 AL 6/4 0 W1AW/4 TN 3/19 0 W1AW/4 KY 3/5 0 W1AW/4 FL2/19 0 W1AW/4 GA 2/5 0 W1AW/4 SC 1/8 0 W1AW/4 NC 1/1 0 W1AW/3 PA 4/2 0 W1AW/3 DE 1/15 0 W1AW/1 CT 4/30 0 W1AW/1 NH 4/23 0 W1AW/1 VT 3/26 0 W1AW/0 SD 5/14 0 W1AW/0 NE 5/7 0 W1AW/0 ND 4/16 0 W1AW/0 IA3/26 0 W1AW/0 KS 2/26 0 W1AW/0 NE 1/15 0 W1AW/9 WI 7/2 0 W1AW/7 UT 7/2 0 Total 780 73, Paul Stoetzer, N8HM Washington, DC (FM18lv) ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Re: [amsat-bb] VO-52 Status
Hi Paul and Clayton, Thanks for your valuable report. Even me and Nitin VU3TYG not heard the beacon during 02:16 UT [2 Deg] pass over India. I'm in touch with our Satellite controllers at ISTRAC. Will keep you all posted with the latest info, soon. The next good pass over Bangalore for us to look into the details is only at 12:50 UT. In the mean time, we would greatly appreciate the reports around the World. As Paul noticed, it would be nice to scan for the beacon from 3 Khz higher. 73 de Quoting Paul Stoetzer : Any word on VO-52? Looks like it hasn't been heard from at all today. I last listened for VO-52 a couple of days ago. I had trouble getting into the transponder due to a very high noise floor, which I thought might have been local, though I could hear AO-7 which was passing by at the same time. Also, the beacon was found about 3 kHz higher than normal. I'll try to listen for the next pass at 2224Z, but I operate outside and a storm is on it's way. 73, Paul, N8HM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
