About 12:25 today I went outside with my TH-F7E handie, and stuck in the
frequency. A bit of tuning around and I had noisy but clear CW on
435.780 - quite far down in the noise but a good easy copy. I didn't
write down exactly what was sent but the TTT TTT TTT groups were
instantly recognisable.
I succeeded in uplink to BBS digital store-forward transponder.
There are many confusions between FM transponder and Digital BBS.
Therefore the file upload to the BBS was not completed.
Because it influence by the living together of FM and Digital BBS
each other, this use feels like being difficult
Is anyone using Nova for tracking celestials (e.g., Jupiter or Sun ) for radio
astronomy purposes? I have an LVB Tracker but not sure Nova is compatible and
SatPC32 doesn't track celestial bodies. Also not sure LabJackU3 is completely
supported by Nova yet.
Any solutions out there ?

Hi,
This is the second time that I tried to listen to RS-22... but nothing
heard over eastern Canada.
I tried the 13h50 UTC pass... nothing !?!?!
Any body out there have the same problem !?!?

Anyone put together software to decode the XW-1 beacon yet?
Sorry if someone already mentioned .. Still reading thru my emails..
Lots of TTT .. Is that normal?
Oh and is china interested in emails with received telemetry?

Good question... I was into radio astronomy long before we had PC's, but I'm
assuming
(perhaps wrongly) that the easiest method to track a planet (for a short time)
would be to use
current right ascension and declination data and a motorized polar mount, i.e.
a telescope mount
with antennas.

Hi,
This is the second time that I tried to listen to RS-22.
Hi AMSATs,
After many work on my transponder design I decided to put some work in
extending my lab.
One of the things I liked to have is a vacuum test chamber, to test electronics
under vacuum conditions.
I have looked around and I see all kind of classes of vacuum pumps, and their

Yea another lonely pass for OSCAR 27 just now, 1600-1606 UTC
Right up the middle of the Atlantic and no other calls heard.

Hi Gordon, the signal SSB CW listened with your kenwood, and' that related
to the Telemetria of the new Chinese satellite XW-1.
To confirmation the decoding of the CW with signals groups TTT of 3
characters.
You increase explanations on my site:

Would appreciate comment from anyone having experience with intermittent audio
dropout on Yaesu FT-990. Unit normal all other operation. Audio OK for a few
minutes to several hours but then will fail completely for long period and go
thru another cycle on/off.
.Thanks, Farrell Winder, W8ZCF

Will need to wait a little longer to try out this
new satellite over Australia.
Current two switch on times are AFTER the satellite
footprint has passed my location and that of main
population centres of Australia.
Good luck to everyone else.

That was some really exciting stuff! I recorded the pass on my
SDR-IQ/R7000, and had the receive antenna split off to my normal station
as well. Right after turn on, K8YSE responded to my CQ, and we had a few
brief exchanges. About that time I realized the middle of the pass band
was going to b
Just worked the new xw-1 satellite.
It is nice to have a new ssb/cw satellite and it sounded great on the
past a short time ago.
Then that was followed by a VO-52 pass that was even louder (of course
it is higher).
I hope this new bird stays in the ssb/cw transponder mode most of the
time
I'll be QRV from the mostly wet grid square EL86 during the AO27 pass starting
tomorrow at 20/1846Z; VOX starts at 1852Z. From there, I'll overnight in EL96
and then head for two or three days in the Keys where I'll put out EL94 and
EL95 on the FM birds. Since my XYL is with me, I may not be on
Hi!

Yes, it was exciting to hear all the activity as XW-1 came up from
the horizon. Fun to work a new satellite on the first possible pass
for this part of the world. :-)
