Hello all
Saw some information being exchanged about Sumbandila. Please note that the
Amateur payload will probably not be switched on straight after launch.
Commissioning is most likely to be performed from Stellenbosch South Africa
only. So telemetry will only be heard whilst in contact
Hi Nate,
You will certainly have no problems at 437.405 with the TS-2000. The birdie
only affects the spot frequency of 436.800. You could in fact operate quite
happily on 436.805 if you needed to.

Hello Kostas,
The keps of Sumbandila were not available so far. But the rocket launch is
scheduled for 19:55 Moscow time.

I , for the first time, tried to work AO-7.
I could hear the beacon.
The logs indicated it was in Mode A ?
And that's what I tried .. But heard nothing.
Not my own signal or anyone elses ..
Was it active over the US during the 9ish AM pass?

Thanks for the quick replies, and esp. with the answer I was hoping for!

Hey everyone,
I just found the following on the AMSAT-South Africa home page:
Due to high winds at the launch site and some telemetry issues on the rocket
the launch has been delayed for 24 hours and will now take place on 16
September at around 15:45 UTC

Congratulations to John, K8YSE, and Doug, KD8CAO, for their winning effort in
the AMSAT Field Day competition - operating as W8DXA.
That's their mobile-antenna setup on the cover of the new issue of The AMSAT

It was nice to see an increase of entries this
If skies are clear, look for a rocket launch from Wallops
tonight between 7:30 to 7:57 PM.
It should be visible over most of the mid-atlantic states. It
is an optical tracking experiment, so will only launch if skies
are clear. Alternate launch dates are clear nights from 16th

Hi All,
I have a couple of questions, How big is the earth from a geosyncronous
(sp?) orbit.
Like the Moon from Earth is roughly 1/2 a degree.
What is the earth from a geo orbit? anyone know?

The Earth is approximately 17.4-deg in diameter (8.7-deg radius) from
Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO).

Hi Bruce,
yes, PSLV-C14 will carry ISIlaunch01, a cluster launch of four 1U CubeSats.
For all frequency info, please refer to

Hi Domenico,
Delfi-C3 has been in amateur transponder mode from the end of July 2008 till
mid-October 2008, after which we sadly have had to conclude that the
transponder had failed. We do not know the exact failure cause, but it is a
failure in the receive section of the transponder. Sad but

A lot of very talented, determined people are working against stiff odds to
actually bring that about. They share the dream, as well as the solder
burns which come with the territory.

Jerry --
I share your nostalgia, and I've never even been able to work a HEO satellite!
But if you are asking this question in earnest, it has to be said
that even if we amateurs could compell the universities launching
cubesats to do as you ask, the resources would not equal one HEO
launch.
Well said! I believe any and all satellite endeavors can in the long run be
parlayed into more grandiose efforts. One thing that has always intrigued me
is the possibility of a benign propulsion system for these LEO's. Our
continued support for these university type efforts can possibly

I've run mine from end-to-end repeatedly without problems. I would suspect the
duty cycle is also related to the amount of load (antenna size/weight, and
wind) on it, so YMMV.
