Re: [amsat-bb] Field Day ISS passes
I rested a digital recorder on the speaker of a handheld to get about 4 minutes of ISS audio on 6/29 near 2141Z. The recording picks up my vain attempts to get attention, which also desensed the receiver at times, so it's not clean, but it's better than nothing. These are the acknowledgments I can hear (with a tiny amount of guesswork).

[amsat-bb] Field Day 2014
Thanks to all who responded to my query about tracking software. I have another question. I've been ignoring the reflector for a while, and I've lost track of the satellites that are currently usable for voice/cw contacts. After some research, I have the following in my list: AO7, FO29, SO50, VO52, AO73, LO78. Am I missing any? Are the above birds (especially the newer ones) actually available?

Re: [amsat-bb] Field Day 2014
LO-78 may or may not be active for Field Day. I will continue to monitor their Facebook page and will let the BB know if they turn it on (if they don't post a message themselves). AO-73 should be available in sunlight, but that depends on the command stations switching it into continuous transponder mode on Friday evening. They normally send a message on Friday evening UK time to the BB that the command has been sent. Don't count on your Doppler software to work 100% out of the box on this one. Your transmit frequency will be 6.5+ kHz higher than it should be for Doppler correction alone. AO-7 has been mode jumping as the solar angles at this point in it's orbit are not optimal for supplying full power to the satellite. With so many stations likely to be running way too much power this weekend, it seems likely that it will mode jump to Mode A or Mode D (transponders off), especially on ascending passes. FO-29, VO-52, and SO-50 should all be working great! 73, Paul, N8HM On Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 1:49 AM, Jim Reicher w...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Thanks to all who responded to my query about tracking software.

[amsat-bb] Field Day 2013 - Sats
I thought that the Field Day rules (both ARRL and AMSAT rules) limited the number of contacts for each entrant/submission/club to one QSO per satellite. Was that correct? Would there be any point in a club making, say, 20 contacts on Field Day? Would additional points be available for a club making more than one QSO per bird? And as far as it is known, will the same sat rule be in effect for 2014? Thanks. Clint K6LCS -- Clint Bradford, K6LCS http://www.clintbradford.com ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Field Day Question
Please tolerate another newbie question. I know that during the upcoming Field Day, participants are being encouraged to limit themselves to one contact on SO-50 or to use the linear birds when possible. I'm chasing grid squares towards Satellite VUCC and other awards. Is it acceptable and good operating practice for my station to make multiple contacts during FD on the linear birds? Seems like a great chance to pick up grids that would otherwise not be active on the birds, but I don't want to be a LID. What would be the best practice for an operator like myself during FD? I won't otherwise be participating in the contest. Again, my thanks for the advice and counsel of more experienced operators. Everyone on the birds has been great and helpful so far, especially K4FEG! -- 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 EM63nf 6M VUCC #1712 AMSAT #38965 Grid Bandits #222 Southeastern VHF Society Central States VHF Society Life Member Six Club #2484 Active on 6 Meters thru 1296, 10GHz Light ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Field Day site-to-site texting
Every FD site will usually have APRS on line. Remember, you can contact any other FD site in the world on your APRS channel. (144.39 in North America). Just send them an APRS text message. Of course, this assumes you know their callsign. To facilitate learning who else is on the air, send a CQ FD message to the APRS CQSERVER and your CQ will go to every other CQ FD site on the planet. This has nothing to do with FD rules and points. It is just a way to have fun and be able to contact any FD site without knowing apriori their calling freq. Just send an APRS message to CQSRVR and make the first two words of the message be CQ FD for example, CQ FD from Bob in Annapolis, MD. These do not count for points, but are a great way to have ham radio fun with other sites. This will log you onto the CQ FD message group and from then on, you will get ALL OTHER such messages from all other such stations. When you DO see an incoming CQ FD message, now then you know their callsign and can MESSAGE THEM DIRECTLY from then on. To keep the load down, you can only send one CQ FD message once every 30 minutes, but you will remain logged on for up to 12 hours. After no activity, you will be dropped.

For Field Day, I will be looking to help out with contacts, Especially late at night, I chase grids so I am used to being up late at night on the lonely passes. I plan to concentrate on the linear satellites but SO50 is flying over the US late at night so I will try it as well. those that are planning to try a satellite contact for the points drop me a private email and I will listen for you in the wee hours, I have already had several requests from some of the other night owls like myself, so let me know so I can be listening. Just give me a general idea of which passes you are looking at I am sure I can work a few stations!

[amsat-bb] Field Day
Hello All I will be operating on the FD using my own call sign and 1E DX I plan to concentrate on the linear satellites and I'll try to make my 1 QSO on AO-27, SO-50 and ISS digipeater. I will be able also to operate on FO-29 and SO-50 during the late night and early morning passes. I think that It is a great opportunity to encourage the amateur radio by satellites in my Radio Club, So I have invited a lot satellite enthusiasts to my home to listen the satellite operation. It is my first Field Day on the linear birds and I know that it will be very fun as It is said that during Field Day the transponders come alive like 20 meters on a weekend. If someone want to try a Sat contact with me only drop me a private email and I will be looking for you. 73!

[amsat-bb] Field Day #2 (Golden Packet Event)
For those portable AMSAT folks that did not get their full outdoors satrisfaction via the birds, do not forget the PACKET APRS Field Day on Sunday 24 July from Mountain Tops along the Appalachain trail from Alabama to Maine and along the Pacific Crest Trail from San Diego to Seattle! This is a 4 hour event with the goal of terrestrially digipeating APRS packet messages over thousnands of miles via a number of IDEALLY located portable digipeater stations (Think D700's) Carried to the tops of these strategic mountains. We can do the East Coast in 14 hops and think the west coast can be done in much less with their higher mountains. Also there is an opportunity for a Continental Divide Trail attempt if anyone wants to get that started... This will be our 3rd attempt along the Appalachians and 1st attempt along the Pacific Crest Trail. Please see the web page: www.aprs.org/at-golden-packet.html There are links to a web page for EVERY peak to help organize the assault parties. Lots of un-filled slots, especially out west.

My take on the field day sats: Why not some one on the East Coast and some one on the West Coast volunteer to operate as a net . That way there would not be the 2 way confusion .

[amsat-bb] Field Day Recordings Posted
Field Day recordings for AO-51, AO-27 and SO-50 are on my website. The late night-early morning passes were not crowded and could have provided opportunities for those trying to make the 100 point bonus. The recordings were made from my home station on autopilot. Polarity was fixed on left-hand circular to favor AO-51. AO-27 is usually better on right hand but left hand works for most of the pass. SO-50 flops back and forth so it's not all there.

[amsat-bb] Field Day Dual-Hop!
Well, one-way, and I didn't have the presence of mind to try to make a cross satellite contact. The end of the last AO-07 pass (which sounded very much like 20 meters!) crossed with the beginning of FO-29's, so the two satellites passed within a couple of hundred miles of each other. Since the downlink for AO-07 is in the middle of the uplink passband for FO-29, I switched over to FO-29 to take a listen. Sure enough, the bottom of FO-29's passband sounded like 20 meters for a few moments. Then it went away. Fleeting chaos. Sweet. Greg KO6TH ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Hello, I was in contact with the ARRL, after I read 7.3.7. and 7.3.7.1. in the Field Day Rules. I mentioned to the League that I would like them to point out where in those rules it would prohibit scoring the same call on multiple Linear Satellites. They listened to my point's and agreed that even though the rules refer to satellite contacts as a separate band there is nothing in those rules that prohibit the aforementioned scoring.

[amsat-bb] Field Day AO-51 configuration - another option
Hi! With all the talk about the possibility of an L-band uplink and/or S-band downlink on AO-51 since there will be at least 2 other V/U FM satellites available during Field Day weekend, what about sticking with the V/U frequency combination but go with something different for the 2m uplink mode? Using SSB or even CW on the 2m uplink would make AO-51 different than the other V/U satellites, yet still provide a challenge that more stations could take on than L-band or S-band - and the variety that Drew mentioned that the AO-51 group wants to provide for Field Day weekend.
