[amsat-bb] AO-73/FUNcube Operations
Hi Folks, Please note that this weekend AO-73/FUNcube will NOT be switched to permanent transponder mode. There have been several requests for it to remain in auto eclipse mode to support various events associated with YOTA. See http://www.ham-yota.eu/ So it will remain on the following schedule: - Full power beacon when in daylight - Low power beacon, plus transponder when in darkness Have a great weekend 73s Jim G3WGM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Receiving TigriSat Satellite
Hello all, I am trying to receive TigriSat, First Iraqi satellite which have a FSK Beacon on 435MHz frequency. I use a 2 unit array of cross Yagi antenna and Kenwood TS2000 TRX. The packet sounds quite good on TS2k whereas nothing is decoded on OnlineKISS+ ver 8.2.2 by DK3WN. The COMM port is connected to the serial port of TRX. The internal TNC of TS2000 was set to KISS mode. On air baud rate 9k6 and COMM port baud rate to 9k6 as expected. The COMM port also goes green on the software screen. Have I miss any setting or is anything else required to decode the signals? -- Regards, Rupesh Lad ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

Re: [amsat-bb] Receiving TigriSat Satellite
Rupesh, I suggest setup the TS 2000 TNC in AGWPE and OnlineKISS will connect to the port in AGWPE to enable decode. Other way is to use a software TNC http://uz7.ho.ua/packetradio.htm to which Online KISS will connect to decode the data. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG] From: Rupesh Lad rupeshdlad2738...@gmail.com To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Friday, 18 July 2014 8:59 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Receiving TigriSat Satellite Hello all, I am trying to receive TigriSat, First Iraqi satellite which have a FSK Beacon on 435MHz frequency.

[amsat-bb] AO-7 DX
Through general consensus would it be possible to establish a unofficial DX watering hole. Time is the essential limiting factor when attempting DX contacts on AO-7, or at times on FO-29. Elevating angles are usually less than 4 degrees. My QTH (near Seattle, Wa. CN87) has a ever so small opportunity to parts of N. Europe. Essentially, use a given frequency (downlink) only when the satellite is less than 4-5 degrees. As I recall there was such a concept on AO-40 (sobsob), it worked quite well. Your thoughts. 73 Bob W7LRD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

DATE July 18, 2014 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-199.01 - AMSAT Fox-1C Launch Opportunity Announced AMSAT is excited to announce a launch opportunity for the Fox-1C Cubesat. AMSAT has teamed with Spaceflight Inc. for integration and launch utilizing Spaceflight's SHERPA system to a sun-synchronous orbit in the third quarter of 2015. Fox-1C is the third of four Fox-1 series satellites under development, with Fox-1A and RadFXsat/Fox-1B launching through the NASA ELANA program. Fox-1C will carry an FM repeater system for amateur radio for use by radio hams and listeners worldwide. Further details on the satellite and launch will be made available as soon as released. AMSAT has an immediate need to raise funds to cover both the launch contract and additional materials for construction and testing for Fox-1C. We have set a fundraising goal of $125,000 dollars to cover these expenses over the next 12 months, and allow us to continue to keep amateur radio in space. Donations may be made through the AMSAT webpage at www.amsat.org, by calling (888) 322-6728 or by mail to the AMSAT office at 10605 Concord Street, Kensington, MD 20895, USA.
