[amsat-bb] new sat beacon around 435.800 ?
Hi my friends ! I was preparing to listen the next pass, orbit nr 16160, of Hope-1 HO-68, the beacon of which is on 435.790 MHz when by chance, I came across another CW beacon about 10 kHz higher transmitting numbers at about 25 wpm. The max Doppler shift was at about 0919 UTC from my location in the North of France and the "time if flight" perhaps 15 mn, something like that. I just had time to record the weak (with my poor devices) signal, sound and spectrogram. With the Doppler shift, at 0926 UTC the frequency of this bird beacon crossed the one of Hope-1 producing an beautiful auditive interference and, on the spectrogram, a nice picture. Any ideas ? As many birds was launched these last days, maybe one of them ? Best 73 ! J-P/F5YG -- Powered by Linux (Slackware 10.0 - kernel 2.4.26) ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] new sat ID's ?
Just downloaded new keps in my HRD Sat program today and noticed that SO-50 is now listed as Saudisat 1C. Looks like some other ones are also 'renamed'. Anyone else notice this ? 73, K7TRK ___ 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!

[amsat-bb] New Sat Frequencies for Poland
According to the Polski Związek Krótkofalowców (PZK) website 2400-2450 MHz has now been allocated to the Amateur-satellite Service in Poland. The website also indicates that the amateur radio BRITE-PL satellite, due to launch from Yasny on a DNEPR in October 2012, will be using this allocation. See http://www.uk.amsat.org/6223 The Amateur Service in Poland was also allocated 70.1-70.3 MHz and 3400-3410 MHz. Although in some parts of the world 3400-3410 MHz is allocated to the Amateur-satellite Service it is not in Europe and Africa. Indeed many countries do not even have an Amateur Service allocation at 3400-3410 MHz so the Polish move to allocate the band for the Amateur Service is a welcome step forward. The ARRL plays an important part in the IARU and ARRL members are present at ITU WRC conferences. Hopefully list members will be reminding the ARRL of the importance of achieving a global Amateur-satellite Service allocation at 3400-3410 MHz (as well as a 50 MHz allocation) at a future WRC. 73 Trevor M5AKA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

A 1u cube satellite cost < $50k Just get a university to sponsor it. A bird that can get out to 1200 KM is < $150k . Three of these sat would get us several hours of coverage a day. AMSAT has approximately 4000 members so raise the dues $20 a year and by year 2 you have the money.

[amsat-bb] New Sat operators
All, A few weeks back, my radio club, The Thunderbird Amateur Radio Club (www.w7tbc.org) held an antenna building session where several members built satellite antennas from Kent Britain, WA5VJB, plans. Tomorrow is our Spring picnic and I'm planning on getting a few of the folks who built this antenna on the birds. Hopefully I'll have a few new voices on the following passes: AO-27 1957UT AO-27 2136UT AO-51 2258UT So if you hear a new call from DM33, help them get their first satellite QSO. Not sure how many will be there, but here are a few calls you may hear: AE7GM WA6AYS KF7MLX KE7VOU You can see some pictures from the build session on the club web site (see the link above) Thanks in advance 73 de Rick K7TEJ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
