[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 short experiment
Alan, I agree with you totally. It is going to be an ongoing problem and unless individual operators take responsibility for their emissions, it is going to continue. Even with coordination the frequency is still not owned by any particular station. It is just common courtesy that we need to show to each other. Are these APRS stations just beaconing in hopes of hitting the ISS or are they in use for normal APRS? I don't see 145.825MHz being used as a terrestrial frequency. I can understand the problem when HO-68 and the ISS are in the same footprint, but to run a station continuously on 145.825MHz is crazy. I do send packets to the ISS myself, but ONLY when it is in view and turned on. It all boils down to the old idea of "Listen before you talk". 73, Bob AJ5C From: Alan P. Biddle To: Bob Herrell ; amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Sun, October 24, 2010 3:45:18 PM Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 short experiment Bob, 145.825 is the "established" space APRS frequency, and has been/is used by more than just the ISS for years. There are other APRS satellites which are intermittently active on the same frequency, and I expect there will be others in the future. I can't address the formal coordination issue, but anything with an uplink on that frequency is guaranteed to have problems. The only question is whether those problems are tolerable. There is little to no APRS activity on that frequency over most of the world, and then there is the question of both HO-68 and the ISS being in the same footprint. The HO-68 has an inclination of about 102 degrees, the ISS about half that. Finally, the ISS is not active on that frequency 24/7. It operates on other frequencies for voice and SSTV, and is often QRT completely due to other operations. In an imperfect world, it looks like a reasonable tradeoff, though other evaluations are certainly possible. The problem of unattended APRS beacons does cut both ways. There are some daylight-only APRS satellites. When they enter periods of extended illumination, they can be commanded from their default modes. However, even a single "braaap" can pull the DC busses low enough that the command stations need to start over again. WB4APR has lamented this problem, with specific calls, in other venues. Looking at some of the paths, both in Drew's example and my reception, there are stations whose paths have not been updated for years. The sort of courtesy/coordination issue is not limited to space operations. A ham relatively local to me fired up a propagation beacon on 30 meters this month. It is/was within 200 HZ of an APRS frequency which has been in use for some time. Quite a fight over who "owns" the frequency. ;) Alan WA4SCA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] LVB Tracker & G-5500 Rotator
Hi All, I am having problems trying to use the LVB Tracker/G5500 on the Serial Port. My box will not communicate. Mike Young sent me another box with the MAX232 chip and I am not able to communicate with it either. I can control the G5500 via the LVB faceplate. I am using COM Port 1, 9600, 8-N-1 None and CAN communicate with hyperterminal with a loopback plug. When it is plugged to the LVB box I am NOT able to communicate via hyperterminal or SatPC32. The SDX Server is set correctly to COM1/9600, has been saved and SatPC32 recycled. Still no go. My original box, when the USB chip is removed and a MAX232 chip installed appears to communicate with the G5500, but when the G5500 is powered off, both meters on the G5500 peg to the max. Very strange. Still not control via Serial port. Anyone have any ideas? Mike & I are stumped on this one. 73, Bob Herrell AJ5C ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: reply from arrl on new vucc fees
From what I read from Bill Moore's post, the ARRL has got their last penny out of me. Charging per QSO is absurd, especially if you have already had your cards checked by a ARRL Card Checker. _Eg: If someone has a first time ever Satellite VUCC with 250 QSOs the fees would be: ? $7.00 for the application $50.00 for 250 QSOs @ $0.20 each $12.00 for the certificate $1.00 for paperwork/sticker return ? His total would be $70.00_ I find that totally unacceptable. Yes, I know awards are getting expensive, but I think the ARRL is getting a bit GREEDY. I think I will continue working for the AMSAT Awards and forget about the rest. I agree, AMSAT needs to have an AMSAT WAS and AMSAT VUCC Award. My ARRL Satellite VUCC came with the word "Satellite" typed on the certificate. Whatever happened to the term "OSCAR WAS" or "OSCAR VUCC"?

Hi all, Looks like I have run the gamut of all the usual suspects as they say. Is there anyone else that needs a contact with me on AO-27? Please email me direct at aj5camsat.org and let me know. I will be operational until Feb 8th. Most contacts now are duplicates.. Remember, QSL cards will be sent out when I get back to all that made a good contact with me. NO SASE NEEDED. Will also upload to LoTW and Eqsl. 73, Bob HI4/AJ5C ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
