[amsat-bb] LituanicaSAT-1 tracking.
I've been looking for information on tracking information for the LituanicaSAT-1. Do I use the ISS data for this? Todd Bloomingdal e-KC9LOX Tom a h, WI ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] simple sat look down software
Anyone have luck using Simple Sat Look Down software? Ive been trying to install it to take a look at the program and I'm not having luck getting it to play nice. and I'm not finding any kind of email of the programmer for assistance. http://www.tomdoyle.org/SimpleSatLookDown/SimpleSatLookDown.html Todd Bloomingdale- KC9LOX Tomah, WI ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] AO-73 question
I'm interested in trying to receive the AO-73 telemetry. Currently, I'm not able to SB, so I know that the transponder is out of question for me. But is a SB radio needed for the telemetry?

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-73 question
Ok. Yes Sorry was typing my phone. Yes I was talking about SSB. I have an HF all mode, but don't have 2 meter or 70 cm on that radio. I have a couple FM baofengs HT's. So guess I use them for SO-50. Ive been doing some reading and thinking of getting a USB dongle. Ive been reading on the funcube dongles, but not in my budget right not, but was looking at these cheap dongles. Will they work for AO-73 and other satellites?

If you have access to a Kenwood TH-F6A HT, this radio has an all-mode receiver which may be sufficient for copying the telemetry and the transponder from AO-73. For the telemetry, you would patch the speaker audio from the radio into the mic jack on a PC running the FUNcube Dashboard software from the www.funcube.org.uk web site, and set the radio around 145.935 MHz USB (probably start closer to 145.938 MHz at the start of a pass, and end up around 145.932 MHz near the end of the pass). Make sure the radio you use has small tuning steps, and be ready to tune down during the pass. The daytime passes are the easiest to copy telemetry, as the transponder is off at that time. The telemetry is still on at night, but at 1/10 the power level that is used for the daytime passes (30mW downlink at night, compared to 300mW in daylight) to allow for the transponder to operate. The transponder transmits at 300mW across its 20 kHz passband, betwen 145.950 and 145.970 MHz - use USB for best performance when listening to the transponder. You can see some slideshow videos of me working the AO-73 transponder, using different radios as the receiver, on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/va7ewk Hope that helps. 73!

[amsat-bb] Satellite question
Hello all. I got the interest bug of working the radio satellites. But with all this new satellites going up, im a little overwhelmed about information on what each one does or frequencies ect. Basically is there a satellite for dummy site that lists what each birds information is??.. currently I've done a hombrew tape measure antenna and HT's, and just haven't been successful on a qso or heck even hearing so50 yet. Thank you from a new to satellite, Todd Bloomingdale, KC9LOX Frozen in Tomah, Wisconsin USA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
